Experience the pinnacle of Mid-Century Modern living in this Bluff Park masterpiece, recently submitted to Architectural Digest. Perched on a lush acre with breathtaking city views, this home offers a serene retreat from the "hub-bub" while remaining minutes from I-65 and the charm of historic Hoover. Extensively refreshed in 2025, the interior boasts refinished hardwoods, designer wallpaper, and fresh paint. The open floor plan is anchored by a chef’s kitchen featuring custom Plyboo cabinetry, concrete counters, and elite appliances: a German-built refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and gas cooktop. The vaulted living room features floor-to-ceiling windows with new UV-blocking roller shades, a stainless fireplace, and panoramic valley views. Enjoy a master suite with a massive steam shower, plus a lower-level 4th bedroom and bonus rooms. Modern infrastructure includes an EV outlet, dual HVACs, and newly cleared views. Luxury, history, and convenience—all in one iconic setting
