MR & MRS Meticulous live here!!! Affectionately called "Blu Bell" by the sellers and now lots of the neighbors! Located in Downtown Mobile in the popular Church Street East Historic District (CSE) will welcome you. It's a very active neighborhood. Lots of fun activities. Historic Home built in 1866 but updated to perfection. This remodel started in earnest in 2019 & continued into 2024. There is information regarding all of these upgrades and their cost inside the home & here. Walk into the Formal dining room with its gleaming refinished hardwood floors & "see through" Fireplace to the Living room. The living room opens onto beautiful outdoor living space. It's a courtyard with multiple seating areas. 2 bedrooms with 2 baths but there is an office with great built-ins and it could easily be a 3rd bedroom. Updates include All exterior doors & all exterior siding replaced, 3 porches rebuilt & front fence (Tiger wood)=2018. New Heater & Air Conditioner & Ductwork=2018. Kitchen Appliances=2018. Roof & Windows=2019. Quartz countertops & cabinet doors & hardware=2022. Exterior paint=2022. Refinished hardwood floors=2022. Yard sodded=2024. Will LOVE THIS ONE!!! ***Listing Broker makes no representation to accuracy of square footage. Buyer to verify.
