About This Home

As of September 2025

Reduced over $14000 and this is in the top ten lowest prices in Fairhope! Wonderful one level patio home close to the Hospital, shopping and restaurants in Fairhope. Even a brand-new Starbucks is less than a mile. Downtown and the Fairhope pier are a little over 2 miles away! This 2 bedroom 2 bath cottage has wide hallways, vinyl flooring in living and wet areas and each bedroom has a generous walk-in closet with additional shelving. Coming from the garage is a laundry room that has additional space for a freezer, extra fridge or a desk and includes a utility closet. The kitchen could be a cook’s delight with all the cabinets and drawers plus a nice size pantry. There is a breakfast bar for casual dining which looks out to the living- dining room combo and a vaulted ceiling gives a very spacious feeling to the entire room. Screened-glass doors on both the front and patio door (includes a doggy door) can offer nice airflow for those cool days! The outside concrete patio is 36 x 12 plus has an additional 27 x 12 grassy area for a pet or plantings. It makes a lovely courtyard and is fenced for privacy. There is a keyless entry and a nest doorbell including all the necessary equipment. The roof was new in 2017, and HVAC in 2024 and includes a warranty. A rear entry oversized single car garage includes shelving and comes with an additional outdoor parking space on the north side. Lawn care is included in the HOA fee. Home is being sold as is. Don’t wait to come to see this home! Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
