Check out this Recently Updated Orange Beach Retreat with Water Views of Cotton Bayou. This unique home has a new in-ground Private Pool with an Entertainment Area and full bathroom, plus a Workshop on the ground level, with ample covered parking. No HOA in the Award-Winning Orange Beach City School District! Orange Beach is Bicycle Friendly: You can bike to post office, grocery, doctors, and restaurants and go all the way to Gulf Shores on the State Park trail system less than a mile away. Two public boat launches are easily accessible within 1/2 mile and there are water views of Cotton Bayou from the living area, master bedroom, and a guest bedroom. Vaulted ceilings and a plethora of bright windows bring lots of natural light to this open-concept main level, which is great for entertaining family & friends. This retreat features a split bedroom floor plan with 3 bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms located on the main level, with an additional 4th bedroom/office on the upstairs level.

The lower level has plenty of storage with a large 15'x30'x30' workshop and another full bathroom convenient to the pool and the pool bar area. New superior HVAC unit with transferable warranty, new kitchen appliances, new water heater, new pool pump, upgraded insulation and double pane windows make this home very energy efficient. There is plenty of room to park up to 6 vehicles or your boat under the house, plus ample driveway space for guests, and a separate trailer parking space too! Current Termite Bond expires July 2026.
