About This Home
This home offers the kind of location and lifestyle that is hard to beat. Set just off Old Shell Road, you are right in the middle of it all while still enjoying a quiet, established neighborhood feel. This property sits slightly elevated above the street, giving it standout curb appeal from the moment you arrive. Inside, you will find a comfortable layout including a foyer entrance, anchored by a cozy gas log fireplace, beautiful hardwood floors and stainless-steel appliances. Outside is where this home really shines. Featuring a huge deck, perfect for outdoor entertaining or a quiet retreat, both a fenced front and backyard, plus a large, detached garage with a mini split that could be used as additional living space or for those who love to create, build, or tinker, this space could be the dedicated shed/workshop. This makes this home ideal for hobbyists, DIY enthusiasts, or anyone needing a place to bring special projects to life. Whether it is woodworking, crafting, or a personal retreat, this workshop adds exceptional versatility and value to the property. Garage also has additional storage. A whole-house generator adds peace of mind, making this home as practical as it is inviting. The location is truly exceptional, nestled between Spring Hill College and the University of South Alabama, and just behind the Botanical Gardens, Municipal Park, Japanese Gardens, and miles of walking trails. You are also within walking distance to Lavretta Park, complete with a baseball field, playground, and public art space. Grab breakfast or lunch nearby at Maple Street Biscuit Company or International Food Pak, both local favorites just around the corner. New sidewalks stretching for miles along Old Shell Road and this home has already benefited from the ongoing neighborhood improvement of underground utilities.
