Cross the bridge and feel it instantly. Your shoulders drop. The noise fades. Life slows to the rhythm of the island. This Dauphin Island home captures that feeling the moment you arrive. Set across the street from protected green space along the water, the setting offers a soft water view through the trees and glowing sunsets filtered by the island’s maritime forest. The home’s exterior blends naturally into its surroundings, finished in a calming green that feels like it belongs among the trees rather than standing apart from them. Step onto the welcoming front porch, where the entry is thoughtfully designed with hidden steps for a clean, custom look. Inside, the home opens beautifully. Vaulted ceilings and rich hardwood floors frame the living, kitchen, and dining areas, creating an airy, open flow that still feels warm and intentional. Wood-framed arched doorways add character and craftsmanship you don’t often see. The custom kitchen is both stylish and practical, with abundant cabinetry and granite countertops that invite everything from quiet mornings to gatherings with friends. A newly installed cargo lift at the back door adds everyday convenience without disrupting the home’s design. The floor plan is ideal for both privacy and flexibility. The main bedroom and ensuite sit on one end of the home, creating a peaceful retreat. The bedroom features a wood ceiling that adds warmth and character, along with French doors that open directly to the front porch, perfect for morning light and quiet evenings. Another bedroom, currently used as an office, is tucked nearby, while two additional bedrooms are set apart in their own area, perfect for guests or family. The location is just as special as the home itself. You’re close to the island’s bike trail, the small airstrip, and only a short golf cart ride to sugar-white beaches, local restaurants, and art galleries. Days here are spent cruising the island, fishing inshore or offshore, watching birds pass through one of the Gulf Coast’s most celebrated birding destinations, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty that makes Dauphin Island feel untouched. Although the island feels like a peaceful escape, it’s surprisingly easy to reach. Just forty minutes north, Mobile connects you to both I-10 and I-65, carrying you west toward Biloxi and New Orleans or east toward Pensacola and the Florida Gulf Coast. I-65 stretches north through Montgomery, Nashville, Louisville, Indianapolis, and all the way to Chicago. This is more than a home. It’s a place where life slows, nature surrounds you, and every day feels like a return to what matters most. Note: Buyer to verify all information.
