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.
