For a renovated, “turn-key” ready home in the quaint, small town of Silverhill, Alabama, look no further than 21913 3rd. Street! Where the streets are lined by historic buildings and aged Live Oaks that could tell stories of an age gone by, Silverhill has maintained its “rich legacy of hospitality and community,” established by its original settlers, Swedish and Czech emigrants. They settled in the area around the turn of the 20th century, and some of their original buildings are still in service today! The People’s Supply Store, built in 1902, now serves as a community bank, and Silverhill’s first schoolhouse currently houses the Town Library! 21913 3rd Street has meant no less the its current owners than the historic relics of Silverhill have meant to the close knit community. An enormous amount of TLC has been poured into this home, as is evident by the modern renovations and personal touches throughout.
