428 W Canal Dr, Gulf Shores, AL 36542

Enter this beautiful property that overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway as you drive through a canopy of oaks. Relax on the front porch swing to take in the view of this deep lot. Then enter the spacious cottage that offers an open living plan perfect for relaxing and entertaining, including the living room, spacious kitchen and breakfast area tucked away to the side. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are on the first floor, while the master bedroom is the entire second floor with a wet bar and views to the front yard and to the waterway. The master bathroom includes double sinks with abundant storage, a luxury jetted tub for two and a large glass walk-in shower. Then relax on the balcony to watch the boats and ships go by. The recorded year built is 1955, but a total remodel was done in 2004, so it's more like an almost-new home. (See the attached county record for before and after pictures taken in 2004.) Would you like to have your own boat pier and lift and/or to make other changes behind the house? The "backyard" and direct water frontage require purchasing an additional lot owned by a trust for only $7,500 in order to make improvements and/or to apply with the Corps of Engineers to have a private dock. (Ask your agent for more details.) Otherwise, you are still able to enjoy the space and view, with public water access for your boat just down the road.
