About This Home

This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom single family at 500 56TH STREET in BIRMINGHAM, AL is listed for $389,900. Built in 1926, on a 0.18 acres lot.

Agent Description

A 1926 classic, updated for modern living. This beautifully refreshed 3BR/2.5BA home blends timeless charm with thoughtful updates. Soaring ceilings, natural light, hardwood floors throughout the main level and primary suite, and a beautifully crafted wood staircase that anchors the home’s historic charm set the tone.

The updated kitchen opens to the living and dining areas, creating a spacious, connected flow that invites gathering. The primary suite offers a true retreat with a walk-in closet and a large, beautifully updated bathroom. Generously sized secondary bedrooms share an updated hall bath.

From the expansive rooms to the oversized porches and large, flat, fully fenced backyard with alley access to gated, off-street parking, this home lives big in all the best ways. Full unfinished basement offers excellent storage or hobby space. Ideally located in Crestwood- just minutes from UAB/downtown, parks and trails, & some of Birmingham’s favorite spots for dining and entertainment.
