About This Home

Welcome to a home that truly makes a statement. Tucked away on approximately 2 beautifully landscaped acres overlooking a private lake in the highly sought-after The Lakes subdivision off Newman Road in West Mobile, this impressive 6,479 sq ft estate blends timeless elegance with everyday comfort. Built in 2005 and meticulously maintained, the home features 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 2 half baths, offering abundant space for both entertaining and daily living. Step into the soaring foyer where a stunning chandelier, visible from the street through the expansive front window, sets the tone for the elegance found throughout the home. Neutral tones create a warm and inviting atmosphere while making it easy to personalize the space to your own style. The oversized eat-in kitchen serves as the heart of the home and features slate flooring, rich wood cabinetry, and generous counter space, making it ideal for cooking and hosting. Just off the kitchen is the comfortable keeping room with an electric fireplace, creating a cozy gathering space. A second living area also features an electric fireplace and offers beautiful views of the lake, bringing the outdoors into your everyday living. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main level and offers a peaceful retreat with tranquil lake views. Upstairs you will find four spacious bedrooms, an additional living area, and an oversized game room large enough for a pool table, perfect for entertaining or creating a flexible recreation space. Overlooking the foyer is a beautiful balcony area with built-in bookshelves and space for a baby grand piano, adding a unique architectural feature to the home. Step outside and enjoy a resort-style backyard. The sound of the fountain cascading into the pool creates a relaxing atmosphere. The pool features a recently replaced liner, an updated pump within the last two years, and a cool deck surface designed to stay comfortable during warm summer days. Beyond the pool, enjoy access to the lake from your private dock, perfect for kayaking, fishing, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Recent updates provide added peace of mind, including four new HVAC units and two new water heaters. The home also offers a spacious three-car garage and generous closet space throughout. The Lakes subdivision is known for its winding roads, mature landscaping, and natural beauty.
