    This has to be a joke. In Alabama? It has no garage and no pool. Who on earth would pay that kind of money for THIS? It’s not that nice. I was thinking the money would be in the pool but since there isn’t one, this is absolutely ridiculous. I can’t imagine this actually being worth any more than $500-$650k. Unless you’re really into hurricanes, tornadoes and high humidity. Yuck! But hey… you did a great tour and I’m giving you a thumbs up.

    Problem is Fairhope is considered an upscale cutesy area near Mobile AL. So a hefty price is added for location. It was listed as a top retirement community in the Wall St Journal at one time I believe or some other publication. But a friend of mine just built a 3200 sf ft home in Mississippi in a country club community also very upscale for the area. His all in price was $725k. Similar to this house with all the bells and whistles. I own a vacation condo in Orange Beach AL in a boating community and I paid $150k in 2014 now they are going for near $450k. With only 800 sq ft. No way in heck would I pay that today but as they say….location location.

    Those stepping stones out the front are so out of place with the style of this house. Really disappointing. They should have had a lovely brick path matching the house. Also the shiny kitchen backsplash tiles look like plastic. They should look really high end, but they don’t for some reason……The cabinet themselves are lovely. The primary bathroom ensuite….the mirrors are more art deco and not in the style of the house. Something more simple would have looked better imo. Great tour Thankyou.

      @@MattBakerRealtor Traditionally, even cottages had deeper porches, because people used them for living. Sadly, modern homes just have them for aesthetic reasons.
      Residential code requires a guardrail where the drop off is 30 inches or more; that porch is more than 30 inches. Whoever owns it (and the builder) is one fall away from a lawsuit. The stairs to the front porch also requires handrails per code, since it is more than four risers high (and anyone who has seen elderly navigate stairs would know it's just a good idea).
      I will say this for the house, the detail work is very good. It definitely is not contractor-grade.

    Marble in a shower is a nightmare! You can’t clean it like normal stone or ceramic. It’s constant resealing marble so you can clean off the lime scale. Marble stains in a shower. Porcelain or ceramic tiles or slabs is a better selection for a shower and you can select a marble pattern. I learned this the hard way. Also, for the price, the staircase is a complete miss.
