Acreage, a private pond, modern finishes, and a location just minutes from Birmingham. This is the kind of property that doesn’t come along often! Set on 2.8 acres in Gardendale, this newly constructed home offers the privacy and space while keeping shopping, dining, schools, and downtown Birmingham within easy reach. Inside, an impressive two-story living room welcomes you with soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and a floor-to-ceiling marble tile fireplace. The open kitchen features quartz countertops, a coordinating backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a large island with bar seating. Two bedrooms and a Jack-and-Jill bath are located on the main level, while the upstairs owner’s suite offers a loft-style overlook, covered porch, walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub, oversized tiled shower, and double vanity. **SELLER IS WILLING TO CONTRIBUTE $10,000 TOWARDS PURCHASER'S CLOSING COSTS OR A RATE BUY DOWN WITH ACCEPTABLE OFFER!**
