Beautiful Colonial-style estate in the heart of Mobile, set on 1.4 gated acres with a long private driveway leading to a rear double carport. Designed with entertaining in mind, this home offers an open formal dining room, living room, and a cozy family room with access to a covered back patio overlooking the in-ground pool — perfect for gatherings with family and friends. Guests will appreciate plenty of parking and the flexibility of a downstairs master suite with private bath that can be used for visitors, a mother-in-law, or even as your own retreat. Upstairs features a second master suite with a fireplace, sitting area, whirlpool soaking tub, double vanities, and his-and-her walk-in closets with built-ins. Additional highlights include 3 wood-burning fireplaces, bamboo flooring, recessed lighting, and three AC units for added comfort. The freshly painted brick exterior and metal roof enhance the timeless charm of this Colonial beauty. A 750 sq ft mother-in-law cottage (1 bed/1 bath with kitchen/living combo and porch) offers excellent potential for future guest space, rental income, or a creative studio — please note: the cottage does need work and is being sold "as is". Located in one of Mobile’s most desirable areas with no HOA, just minutes to the interstate, boating, and a golf course with exciting improvements underway.
