Property Description
Welcome to this stunning 1869 Victorian home, a true gem nestled behind the sweeping oaks on Government Street. The recognizable historic placard and the southern front porch are just the start of this property’s historic charm and estate-like essence, that combines character, privacy, and luxury with colorful twists and architectural treats you can’t find in modern homes.
As you enter, you’re greeted by a beautiful entryway, rich wood floors, high ceilings, and abundant natural light streaming through tall windows. The front office and living room offer picturesque views of the front yards' grand oak with the world passing by on Government Street.
Follow the butler's pantry from the roomy dining space into the large open kitchen that overlooks a cozy family room, complete with French doors that open to the back deck. Perfect flow for entertaining!
Downstairs there are two bedrooms (primary and guest room), two bathrooms (updated) formal living room, office, dining room, butler’s kitchen, and spacious laundry room.
Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms, a stylishly updated bathroom, and a large lounging den perfect for gathering friends, watching movies, or just relaxing. You’ll love the built in bookshelves and reading nooks.
The back of the house is only accessible through a powered gate and is fully fenced for privacy. Behind the gate you’ll find plenty of parking, a carriage house with two-car garage (ample storage), and a garage apartment / guest house with a bathroom that’s ideal for visitors or rental income. Beyond the garage is an unexpected oasis complete with an in-ground heated pool with waterfall feature and paved surround, perfect for swim parties or quiet afternoons unwinding with friends. A covered deck overlooks the pool for shade and lounging. This home is perfectly arranged to be an entertainer's delight, or an introvert’s sanctuary… Or both!
Located just minutes from downtown Mobile, Callahan’s, shops, restaurants, and the new airport, this home is perfectly situated for convenience while still maintaining a private setting. Schedule your showing today!
