The living room's historic fireplace, a mesmerizing centerpiece built in 1850 and imported from Belgium, adds a touch of Old World allure to the space. Just one block from Church St and two blocks from Section St, this residence is a gateway to downtown Fairhope's vibrant cultural tapestry, including the Arts and Crafts Festival, Mardi Gras parades, and the Lighting of the Trees.
