Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from April 10, 2024
Built in 1904, this one of a kind Fairhope historic cottage is a wonderful setting for Costal Alabama adventure. Situated on just shy of one acre, the home and surrounding property is a well-balanced blend of old coastal charm and modern amenities. Located just off S Mobile St and only a coffee cups walk to the bay the home is ideally located between downtown Fairhope and the Grand Hotel. Beautiful landscaping abounds as you enjoy private views of historic oaks and fruit trees from the peaceful surroundings of your wrap-around porch, screened rear patio, rear deck, or brick terrace. Thoughtfully renovated in 2015, the interior layout is perfect for both every day living and entertaining for amazing gatherings and special events. Custom mahogany doors greet you at the entrance of each room throughout the home. Boasting two master bedrooms and bathrooms in the main home, as well as a separate studio apartment, the opportunities are endless on how to enjoy this amazing home. Designed with complete relaxation in mind, enjoy morning coffee from your master bedroom balcony, a good book in your screened patio, and an evening glass of wine from your covered wrap-around porch. Outfitted with Wolf appliances, the well-appointed kitchen is the ideal space for whipping up everything from culinary masterpieces to late night snacks. And, not to be forgotten, the 2 car carport with workshop boasts a full studio apartment upstairs with full bathroom, kitchen, refrigerator, and a separate living/bedroom space that can be used for an art studio, workout room, media room or guest area. If you need adequate parking for a boat, camper, or motorhome the east side of the carport is more than accommodating for any of them. And, if an enclosed garage is more your style the house comes with full architect plans for the design. If you’ve been dreaming of a turn-key historic home in the heart of Fairhope this wonderful piece of Fairhope history is a must see.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI’m not sure how FHS ranks as high as it does. The focus is not on academics, and admin spends more time making TikToks and drinking coffee than caring about students’ success. Lawless parking lot with no supervision, safety issues swept under the rug, sports > academics. Positives include a good teaching staff and nice front office. Also one of two IB programs in county (although principal puts little value in it even though it keeps the school afloat).Parent Review2mo ago - Fairhope East Elementary

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am both a teacher and a parent of a student here at Fairhope East (previously known as Fairhope Intermediate). I love our school and love that my child attends FEES! We have both had the best experiences here. I have seen my child grow in so many ways! It is such a blessing to be in a school where you truly feel like you are family.Teacher Review1y ago - Fairhope Elementary School
- PK-6

- 862 Students
9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe principal, Terry Beasley, bullied teachers and families. Classes were stacked, and the administration and certain teachers favored affluent/influential families; it was a popularity contest. There were constant fundraisers. The academics in each class varied significantly, from subject matter to grades to daily activities. No cohesiveness. No consistency managing discipline at all. Some classes were extremely well behaved while others ran competely amuck with no consequences. Props to those teachers leading their classes by modeling respect and self control. Shame on those who look the other way so they don't have to deal with it and who at times participate in the bad behavior themselves.Parent Review6y ago
