Towering above the oak laden community of DeTonti Square, the
McCoy-Donlon estate offers a glimpse into cherished Mobile history
within this fully restored landmark. Built in 1873, this historic
two-story brick Italianate inspired Federal townhome with double front
porches of wrought iron lace sits on a large lot. Patinated flooring,
ornate molding, and embossed brass hardware are seen throughout,
harkening to a time of prideful construction, while soaring ceilings,
eight foot doorways, and oversized windows breathe natural light into
the estate.
The downstairs boasts a front parlor and a second
parlor/library separated by ten-foot pocket doors. The artistically
detailed dining room is entered through the grand foyer. The open
concept kitchen and keeping room/den connects with the formal dining
room via the large butler's pantry offering an entertainer's paradise.
Three large bedrooms are found upstairs, while two separate office
spaces, 4.2 baths, and countless sitting areas on both levels create an
idyllic layout for entertainers, or those looking to utilize the
property's B-1 zoning. Floor-to-ceiling windows adorn the main level
breezeway, gifting crisp views of the courtyard below and shining an
abundance of natural light onto the mix of painted and exposed Mobile
brick walls, once the exterior of the home. An enclosed sunroom,
adjacent greenhouse and raised outdoor deck create enchanting spaces,
while a whole home generator provides peace of mind.
Hand crafted iron
work adorns the exterior, encapsulating the property in old-world charm
rarely found today. A power-gated entry adds privacy, while modern
wiring, plumbing and HVAC were reconfigured upon restoration. This is
truly a property that has to be seen to believe. Historic property
lovers will immediately feel at home within the soaring walls and
articulated details that embody this true Mobile landmark.
