207 W Rose Ave, Foley, AL 36530

Property Description

This is a Coming Soon Listing. DOUBLE LOT RIGHT IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN FOLEY! Experience the rare opportunity to own a piece of Foley history without taking on the maintenance typically associated with an older home. Built in the late 1800s and completed in 1910, 207 W Rose Avenue is believed to be the oldest home in Foley and was built by James and John Rose, significant figures in the establishment and early development of the town. This distinctive 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home with a dedicated office is full of original character and timeless details, thoughtfully complemented by modern updates. Original flooring remains in the living room and primary bedroom, while the upstairs features beautiful real hardwood floors that add warmth and charm throughout. Set on a double lot in downtown Foley, the location is hard to beat. Enjoy the convenience of being within walking distance of schools, local coffee shops, shopping, and all that downtown Foley has to offer. The generous lot is a rare find in such a central location and features mature peach and fig trees that produce an abundance of fruit year after year, adding a special touch to the property's already unique character. Major updates provide peace of mind while preserving the home's historic charm. A 50-year guaranteed roof was installed in 2017, and the Hardie Board siding is less than 10 years old, offering durability and reduced maintenance for years to come. With its unmatched history, walkable downtown location, double lot, productive mature fruit trees, original character, and important modern updates, 207 W Rose Avenue offers something truly special: the charm and significance of Foley's history with the comfort and practicality of a thoughtfully updated home.
