477 Colony Drive, Fairhope

Imagine sitting on your front porch and capturing glimpses of the evening’s sunset trickling over the lake beyond…that vision can be yours from this beautiful one level cottage, located in Fairhope’s picturesque community, Battles Trace at the Colony! Built gold fortified in 2018 and with special touches, this home captures the Julep floor plan at its best, offering a great open design. From the minute you walk in the front door, the inviting great room with vaulted ceiling and gas log fireplace radiates a warmth and charm that says “Stay a While.” Your eyes continue to take in all the little extras from the display niche in the great room, the large island and beautiful cabinetry in the open kitchen, the cozy dining area and are then met with dramatic views through the wall of windows overlooking the screened back porch with a brick, outdoor fireplace and inviting private, wooded back yard. The home is great for enjoying those quiet evenings with family or entertaining friends. Hardwood designed tile for easy maintenance and a great look is carried throughout the main living areas with carpet in the front bedroom. The home features a split bedroom plan with two guest’s bedrooms, a full bath and powder room on one side of the home and the owner’s suite on the other side. The owner’s suite has a door that leads to the outdoor fireplace on the screened porch and an ensuite bath that leaves nothing to be desired, even heated tile floors and a large walk-in closet. Continuing on to the outside from the large screened in back porch with brick fireplace for relaxing on cool evenings, you find a custom stone patio with extensive landscaping. A two car garage, Bahama shutters, and storage galore are finishing touches. There is even a walk-up area going into the garage from the home that offers wonderful opportunities to expand in the future depending on your needs or provides additional storage.
