Classic bay house built in 1849 and newly renovated from bulkhead to Gold-certified roof while preserving historic details down to original glass & hardware. All rooms overlook Mobile Bay w/views ranging from downtown Mobile to Mon Luis Island. Wide center hall opens to front & back porches for bay-to-creek breezes. To one side, the living/dining room spans full depth of house from front to back porch; across the hall is the den w/historic paneling, fireplace & bar. Monumental pocket doors open den to the island kitchen, featuring Gaggenau, Miele and Bosch appliances including steam/convection ovens & two warming drawers. Flanking wings each contain a primary suite with 19 x 19 bedroom & spa-like porch enclosure with vanity & shower or whirlpool tub; remote-controlled screens & blinds ensure complete privacy w/long-range views. Upstairs is a landing/home office area & two suite-sized bedrooms. Each features a bay-facing window seat & private vanity area, and opens to a shared bath w/custom-tiled dormer shower. Ceilings are 13 ft on the first floor and 9 ft on the second. Exceptional heart pine & cypress flooring, original millwork & features throughout. History of the house has been documented back to original Spanish & French land grants. Notable former residents include Captain Henry & Annie Baldwin, who established the Grand Hotel in Point Clear while in residence. Three-year renovation completed in 2022 led by architect Pete Vallas, builder Tom Aiken and historic preservationist Stephen McNair. All systems were replaced/updated; the crawlspace was fully lighted, insulated & encapsulated and is now served by two industrial dehumidifiers. A third dehumidifier was installed in the attic. The home is served by a whole-house water filtration system and three variable-speed heat pumps that keep the house affordably comfortable year-round. Home is walking distance to Bayside Academy. Elevated 1.5-acre lot w/spring-fed stream & 137 ft bay frontage.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
