VIRTUAL TOURS
This home is nothing short of a retreat – with a sandy beach, private dock and pier, a 60-foot sunroom with panoramic views, and so many inviting outdoor spots to relax and unwind – you may never feel the pressures of life again!
As you climb up to the spacious front porch and enter the grand foyer, the open floor plan lures you into the rest of the home with glimpses into the living room and kitchen. The moment you step inside, you will immediately feel the rich and regal charisma of this elegant home.
A formal living room and dining room welcomes guests with intricate crown molding, large windows with plantation shutters, and ample space for entertaining your guests.
Next, you’ll find a large family room area equipped with a wet bar complete with mirrored shelving, a fireplace, and warm and wonderful white oak wood floors.
The gourmet kitchen is well-appointed with upgraded stainless steel appliances, double ovens, a center island cooktop, custom cabinetry, and granite countertops. A large breakfast nook is big enough to seat the whole family, with overflow seating at the island. This kitchen abounds with light and the view over that kitchen sink will have you looking forward to doing the dishes (if it wasn’t for the fact that there’s a dishwasher). A unique pass-through pantry has ample storage space and leads to the laundry room.
Just off the family room are multiple doors to enter the 60-foot-long sun porch. Here you’ll find more options for relaxing or entertaining with porch swings and endless breathtaking views. Just off the sunporch, you’ll find ample deck space for basking in the sun, as well as a garden area on your own private canal bolstered by a seawall.
LET'S TALK BEDROOMS... 5 +1 TO BE EXACT
This home boasts 2 primary bedroom suites, one upstairs and one down. The downstairs bedroom is spacious and has an ensuite bathroom equipped with a clawfoot tub, a hybrid walk-in bathtub, and two spacious walk-in closets.
Upstairs, you’ll find 3 more large bedrooms, two are joined by a jack-and-jill bathroom, and another primary bedroom with a spacious ensuite bathroom. The bedrooms each feature dormer windows with charming nooks and walk-in closets. The upstairs primary bedroom offers a vastly spacious bathroom, beautiful views, and an adjacent room that can be used as a nursery, office, media room or private sitting area.
THE LAND AND WATER
The large lot can be found at the end of a cul-de-sac and is adorned with mature and majestic oak trees. There’s a private boat launch (used primarily during high tide), and a private wooden boardwalk that guides you gracefully over bridges and marsh areas to your own private beach and dock. The dock is covered with the same new metal roof as the house itself.
There is a boat lift, however, it does need a little work to be functional again. There are unlimited opportunities for waterfront fun right from your own backyard including fishing, kayaking, paddle boards, swimming, beaching, and boating.
A covered breezeway leads to the detached 2-car garage. The location is just a couple miles west of Highway 59, toward Fort Morgan. So it's tucked away from tourists, but convenient to everything including Gulf beaches, public boat launches, shopping, and more.
This amazing one-of-a-kind property is functional enough for a family, and ideally suited for both entertaining and everyday living. Come see it and you'll fall in love... guaranteed.
INCREDIBLE WATERFRONT LOT
Imagine the convenience of your own boat launch. This beautiful lot offers so many opportunities for boating, fishing, kayaking, crabbing, or just beaching the day away. (Click on each photo to enlarge).
INSPIRATION OAK SURVIVOR
In the front yard, stands a significant historical find... this tree was rooted from the infamous Inspiration Oak, a tree that has gained celebrity and is believed to be over 500 years old.
News reports said people traveled from as far as Russia to view what was known locally as “The Tree” with branches spanning nearly 200 feet. A guest register at the park kept track of some of the thousands of visitors who made pilgrimages to the landmark, with many leaving well-wishes. The historic tree was damaged by a chainsaw in a land dispute over the land where it grew. And thousands of dollars were raised in an effort to save its historic lifespan.
