Property details

About 215 Tensaw Ave

Downtown Fairhope is a true coastal gem, where small-town charm meets vibrant culture. The streets are lined with local boutiques, beautiful landscaping, and an array of incredible dining options. This property offers unbeatable convenience, placing you just moments away from the heart of it all. Walk, bike, or ride your golf cart to explore the city or head to the nearby boardwalk and public beach access to take in the stunning views of Mobile Bay. It’s truly a special destination that leaves a lasting impression on all who experience it. But wait until you see the home—it’s every bit as special! Situated on a corner lot, its curb appeal stands out with a white-washed brick exterior, black-lined windows, and immaculate landscaping, including zoysia grass—a $25,000 investment by the owners. The interior details look like they belong in the pages of a magazine! As you enter, you’ll notice the beaded chandelier in the dining room, the exposed wood beam in the kitchen, and the wood plank tile flooring, all of which come together to add so much character and charm to the home. The kitchen is truly the focal point, featuring a chic backsplash, two-toned cabinets with glass fronts, quartz countertops, and stainless appliances. The master suite is thoughtfully positioned on its own side of the home, providing enhanced privacy. The master bath boasts a beautiful custom vanity, a custom-tiled shower, and direct access to a private deck with a built-in hot tub—the ultimate place to relax and enjoy the seclusion this space offers. The freshly painted deck can also be accessed from the living room, where you can continue to enjoy privacy as the backyard is completely fenced. Additional upgrades include a freshly painted interior, new blinds throughout, and an irrigation system. Also in 2018-2019 a new roof was installed, plumbing was replaced, the electrical was redone, and a new tankless water heater was installed. Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
