Property Description
Situated on 5.5 acres of beautifully managed land only twenty minutes from the beautiful white-sand beaches of Gulf Shores, this recently built Fortified-Gold home offers a unique existence within the Foley City limits. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a property that provides a peaceful and rural lifestyle while being extremely convenient to plethora of shopping, dining, and medical care options. You can sit back, relax, and enjoy your pool, take a stroll through the woods, catch a fish along the head-waters of the Bon Secour River, watch the wildlife from your screeded rear patio, or cook a meal at your outdoor kitchen, all while having the comfort of first-class public services provided by the City of Foley. Ensuring your privacy, desired way of life, and an abundance of wildlife for many years to come, the southern property line is bordered by a 94-acre wetland reserve. Cladded in James Hardie siding with a brick-veneer skirt and cedar encased columns, the exterior of the home lures you to the front patio that is outfitted with tile floors, pine ceilings, and recessed lighting. After making your way through the stunning mahogany entry door, your feet glide over COREtec luxury vinyl plank floors and under a vaulted living room ceiling measuring over fifteen feet tall. The kitchen features soft close cabinet doors and drawers, under-cabinet lighting, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, large island, stainless steel appliances, and an elevated bar accented with a cedar wall. The spacious master suite is complete with a sitting area that overlooks the pool from a set of bay windows, a 10-foot-high trey ceiling, a large tiled shower, over-sized soaking tub, a double vanity with granite countertops, and a spacious walk-in closet. The home also boasts solid panel shaker doors, crown molding, an over-sized double garage, a fenced backyard, an enclosed barn with open-air storage, and an outdoor shower.
