BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAIN BROOK ALABAMA SPRINGTIME PICTURES

Friday, April 8th, 2011

Mountain Brook, Alabama is at its most beautiful in Springtime, with the beauty of flowering dogwood and azaleas sprinkling the wooded setting. Realtor Shannon Holmes of RealtySouth recently took a walking tour of one of her favorite Mountain Brook areas, snapping pictures of beautiful homes and scenery from Jemison Park along Mountain Brook Parkway, and up Overhill Road to Guilford, Hastings, Sussex, and Balmoral Roads. Notice the different architectural styles of the city.

This Mountain Brook Colonial is a well known former Birmingham Symphony Decorator Showhouse situated along Mountain Brook Parkway next to Jemison Park. Sidewalks lead past this beautiful home as part of the walking trails in the city.

The Mill is another familiar site across from Jemison Park. Built in the 1920′s as a replacement for the original grist mill burned during the American Civil War, this replica is now a charming private home.
