Tucked away on a private 1.72-acre lot, this timeless home is surrounded by 14 breathtaking live oaks and lush greenery, offering a serene escape while still being in the heart of Mobile. The lot alone is a standout, perfect for those seeking space, privacy, and natural beauty without sacrificing convenience. Subtle updates, including modern light fixtures and fresh paint, blend seamlessly with the home’s original character, from the hardwood floors to the charming wood doors and baseboards. The Bronze Fortified roof (2022), gas water heater (2020), and vapor barrier in the crawl space add peace of mind. Inside, natural light fills the home, with an adorable kitchen and breakfast nook just off the entry, leading to a spacious two-car garage. The generous living room is ideal for entertaining, with large windows framing the stunning backyard. Down the hall, the bedrooms maintain their timeless appeal, while both full baths feature original retro tile that adds character. The true showstopper is the expansive outdoor space, complete with mature landscaping, a storage shed, and a fully fenced backyard. A tall privacy fence lines the South side of the property, enhancing the secluded feel. A rare find in Mobile, this property is ready for its next owner to enjoy its space, beauty, and charm.
