Property Description

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!. 200 Marine Street is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Mobile history yet to experience the aura of the the vibrant city life at it's best. This lovely cottage, built in 1902 is updated and ready for its new owners. The home is caddy-corner on the same block as the renowned Callaghan's Irish Social Club, famous for live music, incredible burgers, and much anticipated St. Patrick's day block party. Mardi Gras parades roll two blocks from here and Washington Square, the heart of the historic Oakleigh Garden District (circa 1830) is two blocks to the west. The awarded Hummingbird Cafe is also near the Square. The downtown entertainment district is a short golf cart ride away, with a plethora of great restaurants, entertainment venues, theatres, museums, art galleries and markets featuring local artisans and farmers. The house actually faces Palmetto St. with a large old-fashioned front porch, framed with classic architectural wrought iron and featuring a porch swing for those lazy days. The porch leads through an antique carved wooden door to an ample sized living room with tons of natural light. The primary bedroom has a private bath with an original, restored clawfoot tub and a walk in closet. The guest bedroom is accessed by a long, central hallway and adjoins the guest bathroom. The eat-in kitchen has cabinets galore and new French Doors leading to the spacious wood deck, which is partially covered by an awning. Engineered hardwood flooring covers the high traffic areas of the home and custom plantation shutters are featured throughout. There is an outside storage room and a double driveway also. All appliances will convey (ncluding washer-dryer) and many of the furnishings are negotiable. Almost a turnkey purchase for the buyer.
