Luxurious Coastal Cottage that was designed by Pete J. Vallas, A.I.A and built by Randy Broadway in 2003. This home is located along serene Perch Creek and sits on 6.4 +/- acres. It has views of natural beauty from all directions. This home has 3 large bedrooms, 3 full baths, a beautiful gourmet kitchen with a custom-made cypress island, 48” Viking range, stainless built-in appliances, and lots of cabinets, a dining room, sunroom, or breakfast room, and living room with a wood burning fireplace and French doors leading out to the porches. Downstairs is a large bonus room or fitness room, laundry room, walk in wine cellar with cypress cabinetry, and two climate-controlled garages with lots of storage space. Connecting the two floors is an elevator. The primary bedroom suite has a primary bathroom with double vanities, soaking tub, oversized walk-in tile shower, large walk-in closet, and a lovely screened-in porch off the bedroom. The coastal cottage influence is evident throughout with craftsmanship of mahogany doors, open transoms, solid, white-washed wood plank walls, soaring ceilings, expansive porches, hardwood floors, large windows, stylish back porch with a covered and vented cooking area, and very large raised terraced overlooking the water. There is a 180ft pier that leads to a custom screened-in boathouse, two boat lifts, and plenty of space to entertain your friends and family. The wide part of Dog River and Mobile Bay are within a very short boat ride away. You must see this home in person to to see what all it has to offer.

PENINSULA
Single-Family Residential Districts
These districts are composed of both developed and largely undeveloped areas. The developed areas contain mainly one-family dwellings and small open areas, usually subdivided, where residential development seems likely to occur; few two-family and multiple-family dwellings are found in these developed areas. It is anticipated that most of the large undeveloped areas will ultimately be developed for residential use. The district regulations are designed to protect the residential character of the developed areas by prohibiting commercial activities and encouraging a suitable neighborhood environment for family life.
