About This Home
Tucked into the established Faucett Acres neighborhood in North Tuscaloosa County, 12201 Beard Road proves that move-in ready and affordable can still go together. This single-story 3-bedroom, 2-bath home was given a full, thoughtful makeover — so the work is already done and the price still starts with a 1.
Inside, brand-new luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring runs throughout — durable, low-maintenance, and easy to live on. The kitchen has been completely refreshed with granite countertops, a handmade tile backsplash, and all-new appliances, opening right into the dining area for easy everyday living. Both bathrooms feature fully redone tile showers, giving the home a clean, updated feel from front to back. With everything on one level and the primary bedroom on the main, day-to-day living here is genuinely effortless.
Step outside to a 0.28-acre wood-fenced lot with an open front porch for slow evenings — plus a rare bonus at this price: outbuildings and a workshop for storage, projects, or hobbies. Recent peace-of-mind updates include a septic system pumped and inspected in April 2026 and a water heater replaced in 2022.
And the location lives up to the listing. You’re minutes from Highway 43, a short drive to McFarland Boulevard shopping and dining, and an easy commute to the University of Alabama and downtown Tuscaloosa. Add some of the lowest property taxes in the country — around $320 a year — and no HOA, and this is one of the smartest buys in Northport under $200,000. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or an investor looking for a clean, low-maintenance rental, this one checks the boxes.
