This waterfront retreat captures the essence of relaxed coastal living along the shores of Mobile Bay. Elevated on pilings, the home blends timeless architecture with resilient waterfront design, offering covered ground-level parking, generous storage, and effortless access to the bay lifestyle.

A spacious covered porch extends the living area outdoors, creating the perfect setting for waterfront entertaining, outdoor kitchens, gathering spaces, and a slower, more relaxed lifestyle connected to nature.

The home features a welcoming double stair street-side entry leading to elegant double front doors beneath a striking metal roof. The main level offers exceptional convenience with the primary suite and bedrooms two and three with private bathrooms thoughtfully positioned on the same floor, along with the laundry room and elevator access for easy everyday living.

Upstairs, the retreat continues with a fourth bathroom, bunk room, sewing room both with walk in closets, offering a flexible spaces ideal for guests, hobbies, or multi-generational living. Every detail of the design reflects comfort, functionality, and the timeless architectural beauty.
