Lots of the kids walk to Crestline Elementary and the Jr. High School.  Spring Street is not a high traffic/through street - so the kids all play in the front yards and ride bikes on the street.  Super location in the center of the block!!!!  Very convenient to all three villages for shopping/restaurants and of course there's the "Piggly Wiggly!"  15+ restaurants within walking distance.

Hardwood floors, 3 BR/2 BA with eat- in kitchen.  Will need painting and upgrades.

RCOMMENT - From our Seller Client

I just sold my house in Birmingham and had the pleasure to work with Joe Cox.  Joe made what could have been a stressful and difficult process as seamless as could be expected.  Joe really listened and his calming matter was very much appreciated.  Joe was very knowledgeable about the nuances of selling a house using electronic means to someone not completely at ease with a computer.

Thanks for your help,

"Highly recommend Joe Cox and Surplus Realty.  We've had many connections through the years revolving around real estate, his professionalism and knowledge are priceless."

There are tons of newly upgraded houses in the area.  Developers are both renovating/reselling and holding for long-term rentals. The Woodlawn Foundation 205-599-6963, with a grant from the Goodrich Family, is aggressively buying, land banking and improving this area.  This is a “Hot” renovation and conversion market for developers.  If you missed the explosion of profit made in Southside, Avondale and Crestwood, here’s your chance to make some real $’s.  There is really a shortage of condos and apartments in this area.  Owner has just added a new roof and privacy fence.  This project needs an new owner who can see the diamond in the rough, already zoned R-4.

 This wonderful home has just undergone a "Major Remodel." The kitchen  has  new: kitchen countertops, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave,  flooring, paint, wood base and crown molding.  The hardwood floors  throughout the home have just been professionally refinished.  Most  rooms received: new cordless blinds, ceiling fans and new paint. Owner  just installed a new updated electrical breaker box and new exterior  lighting for yard.  Great "BONUS ROOM," in the basement is a large room the previous owner used for a Game/TV room.  It could also be a  wonderful indoor workshop with large cabinets running the length of the  room. It is on the main AC/heat of the house.
