420 Brava Costa, Dauphin Island, AL 36528

Property Description

At the quiet north end of Brava Costa Street, where the road meets the water, you'll find one of those special little corners of Dauphin Island that feels like a world of its own. Situated on a gentle point overlooking British Pass, this waterfront retreat encompasses three individually platted lots totaling approximately 1.08 acres, with an estimated 377 feet of waterfront. Mature pines and graceful palms frame sweeping north-facing water views, while the spacious grounds offer a wonderful sense of privacy. The home occupies one lot, with two additional adjoining lots providing breathing room today and possibilities for the future. The five-bedroom, three-bath home has a warmth and character that feels right at home on Dauphin Island. Natural wood walls and ceilings, exposed beams, wood floors, and a handsome brick fireplace create comfortable, inviting spaces. Large windows and sliding glass doors bring the water views inside, while the living, dining, and kitchen areas flow easily together. The main level includes the primary bedroom with a vaulted wood ceiling, waterfront views, an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, along with two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and hallway laundry. Upstairs are two more bedrooms and a full bath, providing plenty of room for family and guests. Outside is where this property truly shines. Enjoy the shade of the trees, the open waterfront lawn, covered porches, and beautiful views across the water. A floating dock, an operational boat lift with an approximate 7,000-pound capacity, and additional pilings installed around 2020 add to the waterfront amenities. The home has cedar siding and a metal roof, and while updates and repairs are needed, its natural character and extraordinary setting offer so much to appreciate. There's something about crossing the bridge to Dauphin Island. The water stretches out around you, the salt air welcomes you, and the pace of life begins to change. Long known as a destination for exceptional fishing, Dauphin Island offers everything from inshore fishing for speckled trout, redfish, and flounder to offshore adventures in pursuit of snapper, grouper, and big-game fish. Whether heading out into the Gulf, exploring the surrounding bays and passes, or casting a line and crabbing from your own dock, life here naturally revolves around the water. Miles of sugar-white sandy beaches, beautiful sunsets, golf cart outings, and excellent birdwatching add to the island's appeal. Public beach access is available throughout the island, with the East End beaches and Audubon Bird Sanctuary especially convenient to this location. Centrally located along the northern Gulf Coast, Dauphin Island enjoys a convenient connection to Mobile and the I-10 and I-65 corridors, making it accessible from communities throughout the Gulf Coast and beyond. And here, at the water's edge, the pleasures of island life feel especially close. Return from a day of fishing, settle onto the porch beneath the pines and palms, and watch the afternoon light move across British Pass. With three adjoining waterfront lots, sweeping views, and a wonderful sense of privacy, this is a place to enjoy Dauphin Island on your own terms, tucked away in a peaceful corner that feels entirely your own.
