About This Home

As of February 2025

Drape yourself in the modern elegance and style provided by this spacious, 4 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath contemporary Island dream home, located on the east end of Dauphin Island in the lovely, gated gulf front community of DeSoto Landing. Designed by noted architect Bill Phillips, the home features a wonderfully flowing floor plan, with a stunning living room overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, open dining area and gourmet kitchen, and lots of space for entertaining both indoors and out! The living area has soaring ceilings, large windows and glass doors offering great gulf views. The home features beautiful specially-imported Spanish limestone floors, a modern and airy tempered glass and brushed stainless steel railing system framing the second floor balcony, and beautiful bamboo floors upstairs. The gourmet kitchen features GE Monogram appliances, with granite counter tops and granite-topped bar seating, great custom cabinets and plenty of counter space and storage. The casual dining area steps down into the living room and overlooks the deck and the gulf. The huge master suite and the equally large second bedroom suite are both on the main level. The master suite features large windows and glass door opening to the covered porch. The bath has a separate walk-in shower in a glass block enclosure. Bedrooms three and four, on the second level, share a large full bath, and have wonderful gulf views. The stairs to the second level are enclosed in a stunning glass block stairwell, a prominent architectural feature from both the inside and outside of the home. The huge master suite opens to a balcony and passage to the main covered gulf side lanai. Exterior features include great tiled decks and balconies overlooking the gulf, Hardyplank, stucco siding, Celotex "Presidential" storm-rated composite roofing, concrete under for covered parking, a great barbecue/sitting area, storage room, outdoor shower and private boardwalk for easy beach access. The home is built to the most stringent of structural standards, overseen by a licensed structural engineer. The over-sized pilings are strategically placed for maximum strength and load-bearing capabilities, and all exterior and interior walls are of all 2 x 6 construction. The UV blocking doors and windows are high-end, hurricane-rated Andersens. All deck railings and balustrades are of manufactured aluminum tubing with welded construction. The home is equipped with a dumb waiter and is framed for a future elevator. The DeSoto Landing community has a great pool, tennis courts, kid's play area and a boardwalk to beach. This home must be seen in person, as photos cannot do it justice! With all of the luxury finishes, and top of the line appointments, this is truly one of the finest homes on Dauphin Island - a one of a kind Island dream home! Possession 1 to 15 days
