Updated modern-feel in this wonderfully move-in-ready traditional 1890s cottage in Old Dauphin Way Historic District is a great old meets new home! The front porch invites you to while away time and brings you into the spacious welcoming hall. Unbelievably open living areas are great for entertaining as well as casual living. Home offers a large dining room, separate eat-in kitchen space with a walk-in pantry, and a separate oversized laundry room. The spacious master boasts an en suite bath with a separate claw foot tub, tiled stand-up shower, private WC, and a true walk-in closet. The family room, with a wood-burning fireplace, opens onto a fabulous wood deck overlooking a fenced backyard with a detached double carport and storage at the rear of the property. Home features working transoms, wood floors, 11' ceilings, tankless water heater, neutral colors throughout, decorative fireplace mantels, and is convenient to magnet schools (including Alabama's #1 elementary - Council Traditional, as well as Dunbar, Barton, and Murphy), dining (walk to Red or White), and to Downtown. Truly special home ready for its new owner!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

R-1
Single-Family Residential Districts
These districts are composed of both developed and largely undeveloped areas. The developed areas contain mainly one-family dwellings and small open areas, usually subdivided, where residential development seems likely to occur; few two-family and multiple-family dwellings are found in these developed areas. It is anticipated that most of the large undeveloped areas will ultimately be developed for residential use. The district regulations are designed to protect the residential character of the developed areas by prohibiting commercial activities and encouraging a suitable neighborhood environment for family life.
