Welcome to 1159 Old Shell Road, a stunning transformation nestled in the heart of the Old Dauphin Way Historic District. Brought to you by the 1818 Design team! With its 11ft ceilings throughout, this two-bedroom, two-bath home blends timeless charm with all the benefits of a brand-new build—every detail has been thoughtfully upgraded from the ground up. Step inside to find an airy open-concept living and kitchen space filled with natural light and beautifully finished with traditional white oak hardwood flooring, installed over an all new moisture-barrier & new subfloor throughout, for long-lasting durability. The brand-new kitchen shines with all-new appliances and custom cabinets & lighting, creating a modern hub that’s both functional and stylish. Both spacious bedrooms offer generous walk-in closets, and the two full bathrooms have been completely reimagined with contemporary finishes and fresh layouts. Throughout the home, you’ll find all-new sheetrock, custom-framed interior doors, and all new energy-efficient windows that meet current code—all working together to provide a clean, polished feel from room to room. Behind the walls, the transformation is just as impressive. The home features all-new electrical wiring, a brand-new electric HVAC system, new plumbing from the street all throughout the home, and new tankless hot water heater! Insulation has been added in all walls and attic spaces for energy efficiency and comfort. Outside, the improvements continue with a newly installed fence, new roof, new exterior wood siding, and freshly built stairs. The curb appeal is made even more special with a handcrafted custom front door by local artisans at Oakley Wood Works—adding a one-of-a-kind touch that nods to the home’s historic roots. The newly installed gas lantern waits to greet you upon arrival. If you’ve been searching for a move-in-ready home in one of Mobile’s most charming and walkable neighborhoods, 1159 Old Shell Road is the one.

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.
