You’ll Think You’re in an Art Gallery

Imagine your art hanging on the walls of this home at 868 Pierce St., Birmingham, listing for $1,349,000. It was designed for art aficionados by the current owner, who had the home redesigned to accommodate his art collections.

Many high-quality custom-made features permeate the home, such as crafted millwork throughout by Vince Macheri; an electrical system designed by the same professional electrician used by the Detroit Institute of Arts to highlight art works, and a De Giulio kitchen with a stainless steel Thermador stove, double ovens, SubZero appliances and Miele dishwasher.

Other Features Include a Pelican Water Filtration System, high ceilings throughout most of the home, floor-to-ceiling windows that create an open, airy feeling throughout, and Brazilian cherry hardwood floors.

There’s plenty of room to expand the home over a three-car attached garage, and the new owners will enjoy the enclosed arborvitae landscaping with a Japanese rock garden and pond in the backyard.

The basement includes a workout area with a large sauna.

The home is located near a park and is within walking distance to downtown Birmingham.
