Step into the timeless charm of this delightful 1909 historic cottage, beautifully nestled on one of Midtown's most beloved streets. Reed Avenue is renowned not only for its picturesque homes and welcoming neighbors, but also for its cherished annual Reed Avenue Street Party, creating an exceptional sense of community that is hard to find. The entire house was painted in 2020 in what is believed to be the home's original historically accurate 1909 shade of green, this enchanting residence immediately captivates with its inviting front porch adorned with elegant Chippendale-style railings and exquisite windows—the perfect place to relax with a morning coffee or visit with neighbors on a pleasant afternoon. Inside, the home is rich with historic character, featuring tall ceilings, beautiful original hardwood floors, picture moldings, stunning original windows, and handsome inoperable coal-burning fireplaces with classic mantels in both the living spaces and bedrooms. The sunny living room flows gracefully into the spacious dining room through impressive original pocket doors, creating wonderful spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. The original Butler's Pantry is contiguous to the thoughtfully updated kitchen that blends modern convenience with historic appeal, offering new cabinetry, quartz countertops, a center island with breakfast bar seating, and good workspace. Both updated bathrooms feature elegant marble flooring and timeless subway tile surrounds. The home offers three comfortable bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a large walk-in closet as well as an additional hall closet for extra storage. Two additional bedrooms, a separate laundry room, and a charming screened back porch complete the interior. The screened porch and spacious attic provide exciting opportunities for future expansion to suit your needs. Outside, the fenced backyard offers privacy and versatility with detached storage, a single-car covered carport currently enjoyed as an outdoor entertaining space, rear alley access, and the ability to park a vehicle within the backyard. An electric gate is present but is not operational and is not warranted. Filled with warmth, history, and thoughtful updates, this exceptional Midtown cottage offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of Mobile's architectural heritage while enjoying the vibrant lifestyle of one of the city's most treasured neighborhoods. This is truly a special place to call home. Make your appointment today to see this Midtown charmer!!
