Sitting on Mobile Bay, Fairhope is a scenic Gulf Coast locale dotted with antebellum homes and was named the best small town in the South by Southern Living magazine in 2016.
Constructed in the late 1880s, the home has been expanded and renovated to “perfection,” the listing description notes. Details include pine floors, crown moldings, and operational shutters.
