About This Home

As of March 2026

Once the original Fairhope Golf, Gun & Country Club, this historic downtown residence sits on a prominent corner lot beneath a sprawling century-old oak. The property is fully-fenced with an electric gate with keypad.The main level offers two bedrooms, a library that also serves as a third bedroom, two full baths, original heart pine floors, two gas fireplaces, and light filled living areas that open to a wide wraparound porch. Other features that make the main floor so special include wall to wall original casement windows that still swing open, custom cabinetry, a Wolfe cooktop, and 14 foot living room ceilings. Below, a lower-level residence offers a second living experience—complete with a large living room, a bedroom featuring two cedar closets, a full bath, oversized utility space, and an extensive unfinished area ready for expansion if desired. This flexible space presents many possibilities including guest quarters, studio space, or build-out. Throughout the property, layered gardens with landscape lighting, mature vegetation and fruit trees, and thoughtfully designed outdoor entertaining spaces create a private and luxurious setting—equally suited for quiet mornings beneath the oak or candlelit evenings spent gathering with friends. Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
