Another one is spoken for. 116 Dolphin Court in Alabaster just went under contract, and it is a good example of what Shelby County buyers are moving on right now.
116 Dolphin Court, Alabaster, AL 35007
- 3 bedrooms
- 2 bathrooms
- 1,421 square feet
- Split bedroom layout
- HVAC 2017, water heater 2022
The home was fully renovated before the current owners bought it, and they added brand new LVP flooring across the entire main level. Inside you get a living room with a fireplace, a bright kitchen with stone countertops and stainless appliances, and a main level primary suite with a walk-in closet. The split layout keeps the bedrooms separated for real privacy.
The Yard Did the Heavy Lifting
The backyard is what buyers kept coming back to. It is huge, flat, and fully fenced, with a covered deck off the back of the house. That combination is getting harder to find in Alabaster, especially at this size, and buyers know it.
Add a location minutes from Thompson High School, shopping, dining, the new District 31 strip, and quick access to I-65, plus a new rec center and a new library on the way in Alabaster, and it is easy to see why this one moved.
What Sellers Can Take From This
Two things got this home noticed:
- Finished updates. New flooring and a renovated interior meant a buyer could move in without a project list waiting on them
- A standout feature, marketed as one. A big flat fenced yard is a real differentiator, and we made sure it led the conversation instead of getting buried in the listing
Most homes have something like that yard. The job is finding it and putting it in front of the right buyer.
