Combining the creole styles of the Big Easy with our Alabama coast, this new listing has a vibe that’s sure to inspire! This beautiful 3 story property sits on a zero lot line - translating to more time on the water and less time cutting grass. Custom built in 2006 and recently painted throughout - you won’t find any cookie cutter quality here! Viking appliances, Marvin windows, extra crown molding, real hardwood floors, 10 ft ceilings, heavy doors, 3 fireplaces, this home offers a quality that modern homes mostly miss. Walking up the front porch entrance, the entry leads to an open great room & dining area with several doors leading to the courtyard. The kitchen features additional space to entertain or one could create bring in den or keeping room furniture.
