STONECROFT, is a truly remarkable private estate enclave nestled on approximately 2.5 wooded acres atop Shades Mountain.
Spanning two separate parcels, this extraordinary property encompasses three private Tudor Revival residences, creating a rare combination of historic significance, architectural beauty, privacy, and income-producing potential.
The sandstone manor house is the crown jewel of Stonecroft and a remarkable testament to its era. Rich in history and meticulously preserved, the estate is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Alabama Register of Landmarks & Heritage, and the Jefferson County Historical Register.
Inside, the manor retains an exceptional collection of original architectural details, including beautifully crafted millwork, 10-foot ceilings on the main level, 9-foot ceilings upstairs, white oak flooring, pocket doors, leaded-glass windows, original light fixtures, steam heat, and eight wood-burning fireplaces. Every room reflects the craftsmanship and character of a bygone era rarely found today.
Two additional Tudor Revival carriage houses, each serving as private residences, offer valuable rent-producing income while enhancing the estate’s versatility and appeal.
Stone walls enhance the character of the property, creating a sense of privacy and seclusion. Throughout the grounds are tangible reminders of Stonecroft’s past, including an original horse-watering trough and a built-in brass bell.
Historic, private, and utterly unique, Stonecroft is more than a home, it’s a piece of Birmingham history.
