Built in 1958, the T-shaped residence comes with classic period details including glossy wood paneling and walls of windows that provide views of the wooded lot.

While the home’s designer is unknown, the surrounding area features several residences by prolific local architect Fritz Woehle, who moved to Birmingham in the late 1950s. Woehle designed many homes in Mountain Brook during the 1960s, although this particular home pre-dates his arrival.
The entryway opens into a large entertaining area overlooking the backyard pool. A wall of sliding glass doors opens to the patio and fills the living space with natural light.
