Boasting breathtaking south-facing water views like no other, this beautifully remodeled residence is designed for comfort and entertainment. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area features soaring 16’ sloped ceilings, elegant quartz/granite composite countertops, and craftsman-style finishes. The kitchen has plenty of surface area for food prep, and the farmhouse sink adds to the charm of this gem. The beautiful windows overlooking the lagoon are outfitted with UV-cancelling tint. Speaking of the view - you'll be excited to invite friends and family over for a summertime BBQ - where you'll enjoy the expansive back deck, complete with retractable sun screens, and enjoy fireworks on the Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve from the privacy of your own home. With hurricane-rated windows, updated plumbing and electrical, and a metal roof, this home is built for durability. The backyard is partially fenced to keep the fur babies in, and there is an outdoor shower w/ hot/cold water (perfect for rinsing off after an afternoon boat ride. But wait - there's more: a bulkhead with an 8,000 lb. elevator-style boat lift makes this a true boater’s paradise. Conveniently located within walking or biking distance to beaches, restaurants, and local attractions, this Gulf Shores oasis is the perfect place to embrace the coastal lifestyle. Photos coming soon! Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
