Property Description
TUCKED BETWEEN BAY AND DOWNTOWN, this is the most central location in Fairhope. Your porch swing overlooks the 'triangle park', and you can stroll just a few blocks to enjoy dining or watch the sunset on the water. And there's a story here, in the most literal sense: This is one of the oldest cottages in Fairhope, featuring architectural charm that nods to the town's history; the interior incorporates the home's original roofline, and a column that is a wooden antique city pole. The home also sits squarely in Fairhope's tradition of art and literature; the seller is a national Geographic writer, and the cottage is the setting of the current feature film Our Friend. Much bigger than it appears, with its' 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, separate LR and DR plus a large great room, and a reading nook. Surprising updates for a historic home including the master suite on the main floor with a massive walk-in closet, double vanity, private water closet and bright kitchen with stainless appliances that opens onto the great room. This architectural darling is loaded with character including bead board, exposed beams, fabulous tin ceiling, just to name a few--you really have to see for yourself!
