See inside rare and luxurious Alabama penthouse on the market for $3.5 million

A rare piece of Alabama real estate has hit the market in Homewood, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of the city’s skyline. Penthouse 440, a luxurious residence overlooking the Soho Square mixed-use development, is currently listed for $3.5 million.

A Legacy Residence

According to listing agent Coke Williams with Sotheby’s International Real Estate, this property is a one-of-a-kind legacy residence. It was originally custom-built by the developer for their personal use. The expansive home spans 4,365 square feet, featuring four bedrooms and a total of seven bathrooms—five full and two half baths.

"Combining unmatched provenance, scale, and location, this penthouse presents a unique opportunity to own one of Birmingham’s most distinctive luxury properties," Williams said. The interior is defined by soaring ceilings that reach up to 16.5 feet, allowing natural light to flood rooms accented with custom millwork, Brazilian cherry hardwoods, and natural stone. The primary suite serves as an elevated retreat, complete with separate closets and his-and-her bathrooms.

Prime Location in Homewood

The penthouse provides sweeping views of the city from its vantage point within the Soho Square redevelopment. Originally established in 2004, the Soho Square development includes 50,000 square feet of office and retail space, along with a secure, covered underground parking garage. The complex is anchored by the Homewood City Hall, a structure noted for its postmodern neoclassical design by CCR Architecture and Interiors.

The name "SoHo" is a nod to the area’s history as the first suburb situated south of Birmingham, according to BhamWiki.
