Property Description
Charming and memorable, this 1855 Greek Revival Shotgun House is a jewel located in Downtown Mobile just two blocks from Dauphin Street. The Mobile Historic Development Commission has designated it as Mobile's oldest recorded shotgun house! Built in 1855, this cottage-style residence blends historic character with thoughtful updates and inviting outdoor spaces. A classic front-gabled exterior, covered front porch, mature landscaping, and light-toned facade create a welcoming first impression. Inside, the open living area showcases exposed brick, a striking fireplace, soaring ceilings with exposed original wood beams, and beautiful original heart pine wide planked wood floors. The flexible layout provides comfortable spaces for lounging, dining, working, or entertaining while maintaining an airy yet cozy feel. The updated kitchen combines rustic charm with modern function, featuring open shelving, a farmhouse-style apron-front sink, stainless steel appliances, light-toned granite countertops, and unique furniture like a freestanding island with seating and storage. The bedroom offers warm wood flooring, painted tongue-and-groove walls, cypress shutters hiding a stackable washer/dryer, and an inviting, uncluttered feel. The updated bathroom features a spacious glass-enclosed walk-in shower, repurposed mosaic marble floors, stone vanity top, and classic cabinetry. Character-rich doors and trim add to the home's distinctive style, while an in-unit stacked washer and dryer provide everyday convenience. Outside, the fenced rear yard offers space for gardening, outdoor seating, or recreation, with a side gate and additional porch area for added accessibility. A unique mix of historic ambiance and updated livability, this home stands out with beamed ceilings, an exposed brick fireplace, wood floors, a charming kitchen, a stylish bath, a welcoming porch, and a private fenced yard.
