Welcome to your own slice of beach life at 401 Buchanan Court West in Gulf Shores. This adorable coastal cottage checks all the boxes....space, style, views, PRIVATE POOL, and just steps from the beach. The open and spacious layout is perfect for hosting family and friends, and a large kitchen that makes meals prep enjoyable. With 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, everyone gets their own space to unwind after a day in the sun. Start your mornings on one of two decks with a cup of coffee and a sunrise, then wind down in the evening with sunset views and coastal breezes. You'll enjoy Gulf views and Mobile Bay views from the home and the short stroll to the sugar-white sand. When you're ready for a break from the beach, your private pool is waiting, your own backyard oasis. The home has been thoughtfully updated and is being sold fully furnished, making it completely turnkey. HVAC is approximately 2 years old and the water heater is about 3 years old. Wood look tile floors throughout! Tucked away in a peaceful, low-density area, yet close to restaurants, a nature preserve, marina and world class golf course. This location truly offers the best of both worlds. Whether you're looking for a full-time home, a beach getaway, or a strong investment property, this one is a standout. Schedule your private showing quickly! Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
