Welcome to 1285 Ruffner Avenue, where timeless charm meets modern luxury in the heart of Birmingham. Fully renovated in 2025, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers over 2,100 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, blending high-end finishes with a warm, inviting layout. The first floor features wide-plank hardwood floors, custom lighting, and a seamless flow from room to room. The living room centers around a sleek black quartz fireplace, while the kitchen stuns with quartz countertops, a large island, soft-close custom cabinetry, and all-new stainless steel appliances—including a gas range and vent hood. The front office, finished with crown molding and glass doors, offers a quiet space to work or relax. A designer half bath and built-in mudroom add both style and function. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings and natural light bring a sense of openness to each bedroom. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath with a glass walk-in shower, double vanity, and premium tile finishes. The second-floor laundry room is upgraded with quartz counters and built-in cabinetry—making daily tasks feel a little more elevated. The finished basement adds flexible space for a media room, gym, or game area, and is already prepped for a future half bath. Outside, you’ll find a fenced backyard, fresh sod and landscaping, and a covered front porch framed by Hardie board siding and a striking black metal roof. With new PEX plumbing, a dual-zone HVAC system, and a brand-new water heater, this home offers the comfort of new construction with the character of an established neighborhood—just minutes from downtown Birmingham.
