Uniquely situated on 5.5 acres of beautifully managed land that borders the Bon Secour River, this artfully crafted Fortified Gold home sits at the end of a long cul-de-sac drive and offers a life of peace and convenience within the Foley City limits. Whether you want to relax by an indoor fire, watch deer graze from the screened rear patio, entertain by the outdoor kitchen, cool off in the swimming pool, or take a stroll through the property to catch a fish along the river, this property leaves nothing to be desired. Ensuring privacy and an abundance of wildlife for many years to come, the southern property line is bordered by 94 acres of land designated as the Andrew James Wetland Reserve. As you approach the property, you are welcomed by a sodded and landscaped area of nearly two acres on which the house rests. Cladded in James Hardie siding with a brick-veneer skirt and cedar encased columns, the exterior of the home lures you to the front patio that is outfitted with tile floors, pine ceilings, and recessed lighting. After making your way through the stunning mahogany entry door, your feet glide over COREtec luxury vinyl plank floors and under a vaulted living room ceiling measuring over fifteen feet tall. The living room seamlessly connects to the outdoor living space and effortlessly flows into the kitchen, which features soft close cabinet doors and drawers, under-cabinet lighting, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, large island, stainless steel appliances, and an elevated bar accented with a cedar wall. The spacious master suite is complete with a sitting area that overlooks the pool from a set of bay windows, a 10-foot-high trey ceiling, a large tiled shower, over-sized soaking tub, a double vanity with granite countertops, and a spacious walk-in closet. The home also boasts solid panel shaker doors, crown molding, an over-sized double garage, a fenced backyard, an enclosed barn with open-air storage, and an outdoor shower. Buyer to verify all inform
