1618 Cadillac Ave, Dauphin Island, AL, 36528

About This Home

Set on a corner lot with approximately 80 feet of waterfront along Graveline Bay, this residence is situated in a stretch of the Island that retains its distinctive character. As one of the last properties heading west with mature pine trees, the setting feels established and grounded. The tree canopy softens the light, frames the views, and provides a natural separation between the home and the water. Just to the north, the Graveline Bay Marsh restoration has reshaped the landscape, creating a living habitat designed to support fish, shrimp, crabs, and migratory wildlife. This means the view is never still. Pelicans move with purpose, shorebirds pass through with the seasons, and the marsh itself breathes in and out with the tide. It is a place that invites you to slow down and pay attention. The home offers six bedrooms and four bathrooms, with a layout that allows it to function in a variety of ways. The main living level is where everything comes together. The kitchen, dining, and living spaces are all oriented toward the water so the views are never out of sight. Also on the main level is the master suite along with two additional guest rooms, and guest bathroom. Upstairs, a private bedroom and bath are accompanied by a flexible space that can remain open or easily be enclosed to create another bedroom, office, or game room. The ground level is fully enclosed and includes two more bedrooms and a full bath, along with a large garage area. This level could be completely reimagined to fit your needs. The rooms could easily be opened up to match neighboring properties or kept as it is for additional space and utility. One thing that you will notice about this property is that storage is abundant throughout. From oversized closets to a well appointed laundry room, you will always have room for one more cooler, rod, or game. For those looking to minimize stairs, the home includes an elevator serving the ground and main levels. It is not currently in operation, but remains in place for future use. Outside, a covered wraparound porch and an open front deck create multiple vantage points to take in the bay, the bridge in the distance, and the daily movement of birds and boats alike. Though not currently in use, the dock and boat lift reflect how naturally this property connects to the water, offering straightforward access. Storm protection is already in place with roll-down shutters, offering a practical layer of security without taking away from the home’s openness. Dauphin Island has long been shaped more by what has been preserved than by development, including its marshes, its migratory bird routes, and its quiet stretches of shoreline. This property reflects that balance. It’s not just a house on the water, it’s a place that participates in its surroundings. Where the view is alive, the setting is grounded, and the experience changes just enough each day to keep you present in it. Call today for your own private tour! Buyer to verify all measurements.
