About 1429 Forest Dale Drive
BACK ON THE MARKET through no fault of the seller—buyer’s financing fell through! This adorable 3-bedroom home near the University of South Alabama offers a wonderful combination of charm, value, and important recent improvements. The seller installed a brand-new BRONZE Fortified roof in July 2026 and has now added a brand-new interior electrical panel along with several additional electrical updates, giving the next owner even more peace of mind. Inside, fresh paint creates a bright and inviting atmosphere, while beautifully refinished hardwood floors add warmth and timeless character. The spacious bedrooms provide plenty of room to relax, and the kitchen features a newer smooth-top stove and dishwasher. The backyard may become your favorite part of the home! Enjoy morning coffee or quiet evenings on the screened-in porch, then step out to the charming brick courtyard—an ideal setting for grilling, entertaining, or creating your own private outdoor retreat. Additional features include an HVAC system installed in 2023, a water heater replaced in 2021, a covered carport, and an attached storage room for tools, hobbies, and everyday extras.
