Property Description
Directly across from Quarton Lake with unobstructed water views, this 4-bedroom, 5.2-bath residence with a first-floor primary suite offers 4,912 sqft in one of Birmingham’s most coveted settings. Designed with an appreciation for artistry and scale, the home opens to an 18-ft two-story foyer with a sweeping curved staircase and bronze and crystal chandelier, establishing an immediate sense of grandeur. The living room rises to two-story heights, framed by dramatic windows and centered around a gas fireplace. Architectural moldings, carved ceiling motifs, and an open balcony above add depth and connect to the second level. An appointed dining room features a tray ceiling with hand-painted scenes and French doors to the bluestone patio for seamless outdoor entertaining. A private den offers an intimate retreat with hand-painted cloud ceilings, gold stenciled cherry blossom finishes, and custom cabinetry. In the kitchen, white Wood-Mode cabinetry with gold and crystal hardware pairs with porcelain countertops, a sculptural island, and professional-grade appliances. A wall of glass overlooks the bluestone path to the private backyard. The main-floor primary suite includes two walk-in closets and dual marble baths—one with a Jacuzzi tub, the other with a marble shower. Three additional upstairs bedroom suites offer walk-in closets and private baths with updated quartz counters and fixtures. Outdoors, professionally designed landscaping includes a heated brick paver driveway, bluestone entry, limestone fountain, and a rose garden with 339 bushes. The backyard offers a private setting with a bluestone patio, built-in fountain, and mature landscaping for both quiet use and entertaining. Throughout, custom oak flooring, extensive crown moldings, and curated lighting are paired with a whole-house generator, snow-melt systems, and advanced HVAC—bringing together craftsmanship, comfort, and enduring architectural design.
