Historic family getaway mins from downtown

Spread out in a 1925 home in Birmingham`s Crestwood neighborhood, set up for groups of six across three bedrooms. Out back you get a fully fenced yard with a firepit, cornhole, and room for kids and dogs to run. Inside, cook in the full kitchen, stream on the living room TV, and work from anywhere on 396 Mbps WiFi. Free driveway parking, an in unit washer and dryer, and a front porch built for morning coffee round it out. Downtown sits ten minutes away. Dogs welcome.

The space

Settle into a 1925 Crestwood home with original hardwood floors, double pane windows, and 1,360 square feet of room for your whole group. The living room anchors the house with plush couches and a 55 inch TV, plus a dining table set for board game nights. Sign in to your own streaming accounts on the TVs.

The kitchen is built for real cooking, with granite counters, a full size refrigerator, a stainless oven and stove, a microwave, a dishwasher, and a full set of cookware, dishes, and a stand mixer. You can feed the whole group here without improvising.

Three bedrooms sleep up to six across five beds. The primary holds a king bed, the second a queen, and the third two twin XL beds, so a family or a small group fits comfortably. Every bedroom has its own 50 inch TV and a ceiling fan. One full bathroom serves the home, with a deep soaking tub, a granite vanity, and extra towels and toilet paper stocked.

The neighborhood

Crestwood is a residential Birmingham neighborhood east of downtown, walkable in spots and a short drive from the action. Crestwood Park is about three minutes by car or a fifteen minute walk, with a swimming pool, pickleball, and tennis courts. Downtown Birmingham sits ten minutes away. The dining nearby spans the map, with SluttyVegan, Trattoria Zaza for Italian, Taziki`s for Mediterranean, Rojo and El Barrio for Mexican, The Rougaroux for Cajun, and Rock N Roll Sushi all within about ten minutes. Birmingham Shuttlesworth International Airport is only five minutes out, one of the shortest airport runs you will find.

Getting around

A car is the easiest way to get around Crestwood, and free driveway parking means you always have a place to land. Most trips downtown or to nearby dining run about ten minutes, and Crestwood Park is roughly three minutes by car. Rideshare through Uber and Lyft is widely available across Birmingham. Birmingham Shuttlesworth International Airport is just five minutes away, which keeps arrivals and departures simple.

Other things to note

A few details to set expectations before you book. This is a 1925 home, so you may notice the character of an older property, including some natural settling and sounds. One full bathroom serves all six guests, which is worth planning around. There are exterior security cameras on the property for safety, and there are no interior cameras. A train runs nearby twice daily from Sunday evening through Friday afternoon, typically mid afternoon and late evening, so light sleepers should know. The home sits in a residential neighborhood, so please respect the neighbors and quiet hours from 9 PM to 8 AM. Two dogs are welcome with a pet fee. This is a non smoking property, and parties or events are not allowed. Maximum occupancy is six guests.
