24616 Bretz Lane

Welcome to 24616 Bretz Lane, a FORTIFIED Silver-certified home (IBHS, 2025) featuring hurricane-resistant windows and exterior doors for lasting peace of mind and the benefit of lower insurance costs. Tucked behind a gated entrance where a winding driveway through the pines opens to your own peaceful retreat, this charming 4.4-acre property offers a private country setting less than two miles from the heart of Elberta, with convenient access to Highway 98 and the Foley Beach Express for quick travel to Foley, The Wharf, or the beach. Built to last, this FORTIFIED Silver home features a metal roof and a layout that maximizes every square foot. The home offers 9-foot ceilings throughout, except for the living room, which boasts a vaulted ceiling. Recent updates in August 2025 include new carpet and padding in the living room, hallway, and bedrooms, plus new porcelain tile in the kitchen, dining, and utility areas. The living area feels bright and open, flowing seamlessly into the dining area and kitchen. Windows fill the space with natural light, creating a warm and welcoming kitchen with features that include granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, custom lighting, and a breakfast bar with extra storage and seating. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a beautifully finished ensuite bath with tile flooring, a granite-topped vanity, a spacious walk-in tiled shower, and windows that let in soft natural light. Two guest bedrooms share a full bath with a custom vanity, a tiled tub and shower combo, and a clerestory window that brightens the space. The utility room provides built-in shelving and hanging space. Relax on the inviting front porch or unwind on the screened-in side porch overlooking the open yard. A shipping container out back offers space for storage or a workshop. With no HOA, a secure gated entrance, and the durability of a FORTIFIED Silver design, this home is the perfect blend of charm, privacy, and practicality. Buye
