Move right in to this 1902 gem in the Old Historic Dauphin Way District! Beautifully updated kitchen and bathrooms with the charm of a historic home, this peaceful retreat was purchased to provide a place of rest and repose for visiting clergy; then was transformed into a charming bed and breakfast. Backing up to the beautiful Cornerstone Gardens, a privacy fence and aluminum viewing gate gives you the best of both worlds – a way to access and stroll the English garden with its koi pond, and the Japanese garden with its dry creek bed, all while affording you the privacy you desire. Camellias and other carefully cultivated plants abound and provide a serene setting for leisurely afternoon strolls. The koi are rainbows of color swimming about in the large pond. Next door is a carriage house that is still used as a retreat for visiting clergy, owned, run and maintained by Cornerstone Gardens. There is a large deck on the back of the house for outdoor grilling and socializing; or you can sit on the screened in side porch drinking your morning coffee, curl up with a good book, or just enjoy nature. This 4 bedroom house boasts some unusual features such as a huge walk in shelved pantry off the kitchen; a large laundry room upstairs with plenty of space for storage; 4 bedrooms upstairs, a separate dining room, a sunny family room off the kitchen with lots of windows overlooking the back deck and parking pad; 2 parlors (one currently being used as a downstairs bedroom); a grand foyer with window and stair seating; and a half bath under the stairs. Of course, fireplaces abound in both the downstairs and upstairs in this traditional historic mansion. The location can't be beat, close to downtown Mobile, 1-10, and the Loop. Call your favorite realtor and see this beauty before it's gone! All updates per the seller. LISTING BROKER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION TO SQUARE FOOTAGE ACCURACY. BUYER TO VERIFY.
