Located on the east side of Mobile Bay within the private and quiet community of Sunset Shores, this thoughtfully updated 2 Bed, 2 Bath home is move-in-ready and designed for relaxed coastal living. The open living area features a stunning new beadboard accent wall with a gas fireplace, creating a warm and inviting focal point. The kitchen has been completely refreshed with all new stainless steel appliances, including a brand new dishwasher, granite countertops, and modern fixtures – perfect for entertaining or everyday living. The home features two true primary suites, each with its own private bathroom boasting granite countertops, updated finishes, and direct access to the expansive back porch. The living room also opens to the partially screened porch, which spans the entire length of the home, ideal for enjoying bay breezes and panoramic water views. Recent improvements include the addition of brand new flooring, furnishings, outdoor furniture, and a gas fire pit, as well as a newly constructed seawall and pier, adding both style and peace of mind. The private pier provides easy water access for fishing, kayaking, and boating to Fort Morgan, Dauphin Island, and beyond, or simply enjoying sunsets over the water. The downstairs area offers versatility with ample covered parking, a screened area, additional storage, and a bathroom, plus the potential for development of a guest suite, hobby room, or additional living area. This fully renovated waterfront retreat offers comfort, charm, and flexibility – ideal as a primary residence, second home, or investment property.
