No matter what draws you here, this home gives you a comfortable, open place to relax, spend time with the people you care about, and enjoy everything the island has to offer. Inside the main living levels, you’ll find an easy-flow layout with generous gathering spaces, comfortable bedrooms, and bathrooms that offer plenty of room to move around. One of the upstairs suites includes its own private dressing area connected to the bathroom, adding convenience and privacy. Fresh paint throughout brings in a clean, bright feel, and the multiple porches offer spots to sit outside and enjoy the breeze. A loft sits at the top of the home, featuring a set of large fixed windows that create a quiet, elevated place to sit, read, paint or just soak in the natural surroundings. Access to the attic is tucked behind a door on this level. The under-house area adds even more flexibility, with bunk-style rooms, a bathroom, workshop space, open areas for storage or hobbies, and a split unit that helps keep the space more comfortable. This level is considered bonus space and it provides many options for guests, gear, and everyday island life. Total measurements of this bonus space equal 1525 square feet. This home is located in the DeSoto Landing gated subdivision, a peaceful neighborhood known for its quiet streets and well-kept surroundings. Residents enjoy a simple, relaxed setting with community walkways, natural scenery, and easy access to the beach. The gated entry adds an extra sense of privacy, and the neighborhood has a friendly, welcoming feel that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy island living. Located just down the street is the community pool and tennis court for the subdivision. The property stands in a peaceful part of Dauphin Island, close to the shoreline, trails, golf course, marina access and local dining.
