Few properties on the Eastern Shore offer the beauty, serenity, and historic character found in this extraordinary 4.3-acre Bayfront estate. With 187 feet of direct frontage on Mobile Bay, the setting captures spectacular sunsets and the essence of Southern charm. A long, private drive leads to a gracious raised cottage with Greek Revival influence, originally built in 1850 by Captain James J. Adams. The home's classic architecture features soaring ceilings over 12 feet, original heart pine flooring, and four jib doors along the front that open to an expansive porch, inviting the outdoors in. Next to the main residence are two charming guest cottages, each with two rooms, a central fireplace, kitchen, bath, and window units. History suggests these structures once served as the property's original detached kitchens. A beautifully designed courtyard surrounds an oversized pool crafted by renowned designer Fritz von Osthoff, offering a space for relaxation and entertaining. Inside the home, each of the three levels is thoughtfully planned. The main level includes the primary suite with an oversized bath, formal living and dining rooms, a butler's kitchen, and a private office. The upper floor features three spacious bedrooms, while the lower level boasts an open-concept layout with brick floors, a wood-burning fireplace, a large kitchen with a gas stove, and an additional bedroom with en-suite bath. This one-of-a-kind home embodies the grace of Southern living with wide porches, majestic oak trees, and panoramic bay views. The property is being sold in "As Is" condition, please see attached documentation. Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
