1897 French Provincial
Central Business District
Mobile, AL









Historic Home In Downtown Mobile, AL.

Experience the timeless charm of Downtown Mobile, AL! Nestled in the peaceful Detonti Square neighborhood, this stunning historic home, built in 1897, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Mobile’s rich history. With its Mobile Historic Development Commission Banner and Shield, this home stands as a proud symbol of the area’s heritage.

Spanning 1,800 sq ft, the home features 2 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 baths, blending modern comfort with historical elegance, while both bedrooms provide ample closet space. Enjoy cozy nights by the gas-burning fireplaces or entertain beneath the soaring 15-foot ceilings, beautifully accented with chandeliers.

The original pine plank floors, sourced from an old church, add a unique touch, while the striking mantels and built-in bookcases elevate the home’s character.

The front room overlooking Adams Street offers versatile options, whether as a formal dining room for memorable gatherings or as an executive office.

The galley kitchen, complete with a pantry, invites you to explore your culinary creativity. Step outside into the expansive, gated brick courtyard, exuding New Orleans charm, where a modern saltwater pool and outdoor kitchen create the perfect atmosphere for entertaining or unwinding.

Added in 2021, the pool serves as a refreshing retreat, complemented by plenty of space for relaxation and socializing. Two outbuildings provide additional storage—one housing pool toys and cushions, and the other a tool shed.

With RB1 zoning, this property offers the rare flexibility for both residential living and business ventures. Just steps away from downtown Mobile’s vibrant food scene, this home offers the perfect blend of historic allure and modern conveniences.
