This exquisitely designed home, built by Bill Purvis, is situated on nearly a 100ft lot overlooking Mobile Bay. The architectural detail displays timeless elegance with modern amenities throughout its expansive layout, such as vaulted, beamed ceilings, arched doorways, beautiful hardwood floors, shiplap walls, and custom wooden doors throughout. The graciously sized primary bedroom, located on the main floor, offers breathtaking views of the bay and features two separate bathroom areas, both with spacious closets, making it feel like your own private retreat. An additional room downstairs offers flexibility as a sixth bedroom, office, or second den. The kitchen is equipped with wonderful custom cabinets, built-in appliances, a breakfast bar island that graciously opens to the dining room and great room, both with views of the bay. The great room and primary bedroom have custom French doors, that lead out to an expansive, yet versatile sun porch with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the front yard and bay. Off the kitchen is a wonderful laundry and pantry area with more counter space, a sink, custom cabinets, and ample storage. An elegant staircase leads upstairs to three spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, providing comfort and privacy for everyone. Above the attached three-car garage is a wonderful guest quarters that includes a sitting room, small kitchen, a bedroom, and a full bathroom. The home is surrounded by a canopy of live oaks and a gorgeously landscaped yard, enhancing the picturesque setting on the bay. The 375ft pier begins with a relaxing sitting area overlooking the shoreline with a small beach area, then extends to a covered wharf and boat lift for endless times of enjoyment and sunsets on Mobile Bay! It is the buyer's responsibility to verify all final measurements.
