One of a Kind Luxury in Downtown Birmingham

Located in the Downtown Historic District, 213 24th St. N. offers ~8,800 sq. ft of unparalleled and uniquely private urban living experience in the heart of one of Birmingham’s most coveted neighborhoods. This one-of-a-kind home is ideally situated only steps away from the city’s finest dining and nightlife, while retaining neighborhood-like tranquility due to its fortified construction and private and secluded courtyard. Now in its centennial year, 213 is a home with history and soul; a sanctuary and a showcase. 

Originally built in 1925, the J.P. Gorman building was wholly reimagined as a luxurious modern live/work single family home, including graciously designed living spaces and an open commercial storefront perfect for a gallery or professional workspace. Robust four course brick walls conceal an airy, elegant balance of industrial loft chic and the warm polish of meticulously curated amenities. Vintage materials, custom millwork and artisanal handcrafted steel accentuate the colossal open floor plan. 50’ wide expanses with soaring 11-16’ ceilings are bathed in natural light by an abundance of oversized windows stretching wall to wall along the South, East and West. Nothing was overlooked in designing the perfect harmony of functionality, historic charm and modern sophistication.

The mixed-use zoned 213 building features 3 bedrooms (one serving as a sound-proofed professional home studio, convertible to two bedrooms for a total of four), 3 en suite baths, 2 half baths, giant living room and dining room areas on an elevated deck opening onto a 12’ balcony, open floor plan kitchen with massive 12’ island, library, dedicated home office, 2 story wet bar with glass floor, gym, private climate controlled two car garage with workshop, 10’ walled courtyard connected to a 600+ sq ft interior atrium w/ kitchenette, concealed vault, exhaustive storage spaces, a ~2,100 sq ft commercial storefront and much more. It is perfect for entertaining – comfortably seating 50+ guests in the west-facing great room or host 100+ with a gallery configuration in either the 2nd floor great room or the 1st floor courtyard-adjacent atrium. Renovation was completed in 2019 with entirely new construction throughout the fortress-like four course brick shell including 100% new electrical, plumbing, sewer and optional natural gas. New TPO roofing and high R-value insulation was installed in 2022 with a 20 year warranty. HVAC systems newly installed in 2017.
