Property Description
Step into the flavor of historic Midtown with this beautifully updated cottage that seamlessly blends classic character with modern convenience! From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by its curb appeal and warm, inviting atmosphere. Start your day by unwinding on the front porch swing, waving to friendly neighbors, and taking in the awe-inspiring presence of a magnificent 400-year-old live oak. Not only does this historic tree add to the charm of the home, but it also provides natural shade and insulation for year-round comfort. Inside, the original oak hardwood floors gleam in the living areas, while pristine knotted pine adds warmth to the bedrooms. Solid wood doors and transom windows throughout preserve the home's historic charm, while thoughtful upgrades bring it up to today's standards. The open-concept living space features a cozy wood-burning fireplace with a radiant heat reflector and an animal guard on the chimney—plus, gas access if you prefer. The oversized dining room is bathed in natural light from its tall windows overlooking the picturesque front yard—perfect for hosting dinner parties or enjoying quiet mornings with a cup of coffee. The kitchen is a true showstopper, lovingly remodeled with brand-new cabinets, elegant crystal knobs, and preserved leaded glass accent doors to showcase your favorite accessories, and completed with a spacious pantry. High-end appliances include a NEW Bosch dishwasher, Samsung gas range, KitchenAid disposal (super quiet and efficient), Micro-Vent hood, and a new GE refrigerator. Plus, a brand-new LG washer and dryer will remain in the laundry room! All the wiring is brand new, so you can rely on all the benefits of modern functionality and safety. The HVAC is also new. The brand-new 2025 architectural shingle roof offers excellent ventilation and energy efficiency to keep utility bills low. With two spacious guest rooms featuring ample closet space and a rare walk-in closet in the primary bedroom, storage is no issue. The home boasts two full-sized bathrooms, including one with a luxurious whirlpool tub with an internal heater—so you can enjoy long, warm soaks without ever running out of heat! There is also a HUGE floored and structurally prep'd attic space with clever pull down stairs, that could be completed for additional living space too.
Outside, a charming deck provides the perfect spot to relax and take in the lush backyard, adorned with majestic palm trees, one of Mobile's most beautiful and oldest birds of paradise, and a jasmine-lined fence that fills the air with fragrance as you arrive home. A detached garage with a durable metal roof and power offers additional storage and workshop potential.
