Framed by a beautiful mature oak tree and a classic white picket fence, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath cottage combines timeless Fairhope character with thoughtful updates, all within golf cart distance of downtown Fairhope and Mobile Bay. A wide covered front porch welcomes you inside, where warm wood floors carry through the main living spaces. The living room is centered around a wood burning fireplace with custom built ins and flows easily into the dining area and updated kitchen. The kitchen features stone countertops, stainless appliances, abundant cabinetry, recessed lighting, and counter seating. The main level Primary suite is a standout, particularly the beautifully updated bathroom featuring an oversized walk in shower finished with floor to ceiling tile, frameless glass, and a rain shower head, along with a spacious vanity and polished finishes that give the room a clean, spa inspired feel. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located upstairs. Outside, the covered back porch provides a great extension of the living space with room for outdoor dining, seating, and entertaining while overlooking the backyard and mature trees. New fencing surrounds the yard, adding definition and privacy to the outdoor space. A Fortified roof installed less than three years ago provides another significant update. With its mature oak, wood floors, wood burning fireplace, impressive Primary suite, covered outdoor spaces, recent improvements, and golf cart access to downtown Fairhope and Mobile Bay, 5 Echo Lane brings together the character, location, and features that make a Fairhope cottage special.
