Summary:

Welcome to this beautifully restored and professionally decorated 3-bedroom, 3-bath home located just steps from campus, downtown, and Bryant-Denny Stadium. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to offer comfort, style, and an unbeatable location—perfect for parents visiting University of Alabama students, game-day weekends, or anyone wanting to experience Tuscaloosa on foot.

The open-concept main living area is filled with natural light and anchored by comfortable, designer furnishings—perfect for conversation, movie nights, or winding down after a day on campus or downtown. The kitchen is a true highlight, featuring premium Viking appliances, custom cabinetry, and generous counter space, making it just as enjoyable to cook in as it is to entertain around.



Each of the three bedrooms is its own private retreat, complete with a queen bed, tasteful décor, and a private en-suite bathroom. This layout offers hotel-like privacy while maintaining the warmth and space of a home—ideal for parents traveling together, couples, or small groups who value comfort and personal space.



A second living room / bonus space adds flexibility and breathing room, whether you’re looking for a quiet place to relax, an extra TV lounge, or space for kids to spread out. For longer stays or working trips, the dedicated desk nook provides a calm, functional workspace.



Step outside to the open deck, where you can enjoy morning coffee, casual meals, or evening drinks in a relaxed outdoor setting. With off-street parking and a full laundry room, the home is as practical as it is polished.
