Property Description
A rare opportunity to own a soulful coastal cottage in the highly desirable Fruit and Nut district, just two blocks from the Orange Avenue wharf on Mobile Bay. Tucked beneath a canopy of mature oaks and palms on an oversized homesite, this historic coastal cottage captures the kind of charm and setting that rarely become available. The crisp white exterior, metal roof, gravel drive, and detached outbuildings evoke the feeling of an old Lowcountry fishing retreat- relaxed, authentic, and timeless. Inside, rich wood-paneled walls and ceilings, warm hardwood floors, and oversized windows create an atmosphere full of character and nostalgia. The kitchen blends classic style with thoughtful updates including custom wood cabinetry, stone countertops, white subway tile, and iconic black-and-white flooring. A sun-filled porch and side screened porch invite slow mornings, breezy evenings, and easy gatherings after a day by the bay. The property also features a separate laundry building, private three-stall dog run with dedicated housing, house generator, and generous outdoor space rarely found this close to the water. Whether preserved as-is or thoughtfully personalized over time, this classic Fairhope home offers an exceptional chance to own a piece of coastal character in one of the area's most desirable bayside settings. Co-listing agent is related to seller. Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
