If you’re anything like me, owning a multi-million dollar home might not be in the cards just yet—but there’s no harm in looking, right?

We got a tour of three of the most exclusive listings in the Birmingham area, from a European-inspired gem in Mountain Brook to a show-stopping home with Vulcan views.

Read on to learn more about these stunning listings and the local realtors behind them.

1. If you love historic charm: 2919 Fairway Drive

Nestled on 1.8 acres near the Birmingham Botanical Gardens and English Village, this 1929 masterpiece is what fairytales are made of. With intricate stonework, a gabled slate roof with copper accents and Gothic archways throughout, it looks like it was plucked straight from the English countryside.

Step inside and you’ll find marble mantels, original crystal light fixtures, sculpted plaster ceilings and room to entertain royally—there’s even a separate guest wing above the 3-car garage. French doors lead to a lush brick terrace and tranquil fountain.

If you’re a fan of historic architecture with top-tier restoration, this one is a dream.

Classic charm meets family-friendly luxury in this 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath home. From the dramatic staircase leading to a sunny mezzanine, to an arts and craft studio tucked in the attic, this home is somehow both grand and cozy.

This home isn’t afraid of glamour, with colorful wallpapers and tile, crown molding and chandeliers filling the space. I think my favorite part has to be the outdoor courtyard, perfect for entertaining friends or simply enjoying a gorgeous morning.
