When these sellers started their home search for south Alabama, they knew they wanted a coastal cottage. This home was the very first home they saw. There was another showing scheduled after them, but the owners cancelled all the other showings, this couple wrote an offer, negotiated it with their Realtor Kendall Wahlert, and it was under contract within a hour of seeing it. Needless to say, they knew this was the home for them and they have loved every minute of it. The really loved the outdoor patio/courtyard with the stone fireplace and built in grill (to convey). The kitchen is large and a great place to hang out while cooking with friends, and then, not to mention the spacious bathrooms and bedrooms, and the large front porch and master being on the main floor!

Most of the time when the weather is nice the sellers love to sit in the courtyard. It is just so welcoming whether you are grilling out with friends or just hanging out with your spouse it is the coolest area and just so relaxing. Since owning the home, they have totally transformed the landscaping and have added a flagstone outdoor eating space. They have taken out carpeting in the downstairs bedrooms and replaced it with wood-look tile flooring. Once you see 925 Buttercup Lane, you can tell how much pride the current owners take in their cottage-style home.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION… the family loves being near shops, restaurants, the beaches and grocery stores. Also recently OWA was built, so the home is minutes from there and when the grandkids come down they love to go to OWA and of course the beach! You know as you get older you dream about what retirement life will look like and then you do it. So this couple moved to the beach. They recount, “As life throws curveballs, we now realize that even though we love it here we are missing out on making lot’s of memories with our grandkids to include going to their ball games so now we feel like life is calling us back to Birmingham. It’s funny how life works. Knowing this I know this home will make the next owner just as happy and we cannot wait to see who gets to call this cottage their home.”
