About This Home

As of August 2025

56 North Bayview Street offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Fairhope’s storied past. Nestled in The Bluffs under a canopy of century-old Oaks this historic coastal cottage exudes charm and timeless appeal. Perched on a towering bluff overlooking Mobile Bay, this neighborhood’s close proximity to the iconic Fairhope pier and to vibrant downtown Fairhope's award-winning attractions, makes this one of Fairhope’s most coveted neighborhoods. Open the property’s antique iron gate and you are greeted by a landscape that speaks to the rich history of this enchanting home. The lush surroundings include camellias, graceful palms, opulent Oaks and a vast assortment of carefully curated plants and native shrubs. The home’s renovated interior retains its historic charm while offering conveniences of contemporary living. Refurbished hardwood floors, custom plantation shutters, a fireplace with gas logs and multiple built-ins are a few of the details that modernize and enhance the home's interior. The kitchen, with an adjacent flex-space, has quartz countertops, classic subway tile backsplash, SS appliances and a pot filler for added convenience. The main level has the living room, a formal dining room, a bedroom and a full bath -- making single-level living an option for guests or residents alike. Ascend to the vaulted loft to discover an airy, peaceful retreat and ensuite bathroom with a luxurious walk-in shower. A BRAND NEW Trane HVAC was recently installed for comfort and energy efficiency. There is also an auxiliary building with endless possibilities and an opportunity to tailor the property to your needs. Do not miss this chance to seize The Bluffs lifestyle. Property adjoins 55 Boise Lane (MLS #374920). Seller willing to negotiate if Buyer is interested in both parcels. Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
