Property Description
Cross the bridge to paradise and feel your shoulders relax as you breathe in the salt air—Dauphin Island welcomes you with that unmistakable sense of calm the moment you arrive. This home on the east end reflects that same feeling of ease. Located in the desirable X-zone (non-flood zone), it sits on a corner lot and features a rare through driveway that allows you to enter from one street and exit onto another, making it ideal for maneuvering boats, wave runners, trailers, and avoiding the hassle of backing up. Natural tree cover and coastal greenery on the corner lend a sense of privacy while still keeping the relaxed island character.
Inside, the home offers an open floor plan with stained concrete floors throughout and a warm wood-accent ceiling in the kitchen and dining area. The living room includes a wood-accent feature wall that brings in island charm and texture. The kitchen is large with abundant cabinet storage, perfect for cooking, gathering, and day-to-day living. Both bedrooms are comfortably sized. The primary offers a large ensuite bath, while the second large bathroom functions as a guest bath for the home. A third full bathroom is located in the storage room off the carport, ideal for rinsing off after beach days, fishing, or working outdoors.
The utility room just off the kitchen has a doggie door that leads to the breezeway and fenced backyard, giving pets an easy and secure way to move between the house and the yard. The fenced backyard provides a functional space with natural privacy from the surrounding trees.
Life on Dauphin Island is about slowing down, breathing deeply, and enjoying the coastal rhythm. From this east-end location, you're close to the sugar-white beaches, the 164-acre Audubon Bird Sanctuary with its freshwater lake and walking trails, local art galleries, and a handful of island restaurants. And for anglers, it's truly exceptional. Whether heading offshore for big catches, trolling the Gulf, or fishing the surf and inshore waters, Dauphin Island is known as one of the Gulf Coast's premier fishing destinations—offering unforgettable days on the water and the kind of catches that stay with you.
Although the island feels like a peaceful escape, it is centrally located on the northern Gulf Coast. 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 up to Chicago. And yet, with all that access, the beauty of Dauphin Island is that you don't have to leave to feel restored. You can live here—wake up to the salt air, feel your shoulders drop, quiet your mind, and find the kind of peace most people only experience on vacation. Here, the lifestyle stays with you every single day. Note: Buyer to verify all information and some pictures are virtually staged.
