"Le Coeur," meaning The Heart. In 1962, this home was the largest home in Baldwin County! Named by its owner and built from brick from a former home for unwed mothers in New Orleans, this home carries an abundance of history. The front door was hand made in New Orleans and the marble for the f/p mantle is from Sylacauga. Once considered the "showcase" home in the Bay Minette area and given the name "Tara" (from Gone With The Wind) by the local residents, this home is now looking for a new owner! The home has been left unattended for several years and now needs attention. Situated on 5 acres, this home offers 6 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a private study, formal living, formal dining, den, 2 parlors, 3 car garage, in ground pool vinyl/wood/split brick flooring, 2 "jack and jilll" baths and more! Although a great amount of work is needed to bring the home back up to it's original condition, it has amazing potential! The home features large, stately rooms, tons of built ins, closet space and a huge rec room on the 3rd floor! The brick floors downstairs are sold brick and the bricks around the patio are old ballast bricks taken from the ship yards in Mobile. 12 children were born here, many memories were made and many wonderful stores can be told. Easy to show and thirsting for someone with great vision!
