Property Description

The current owner of this former Downtown Shanty recently received an esteemed award from Main Street Mobile for the Adaptive Reuse/Renovation. This property was brought back to its former 1875 historical glory, but with the bells and whistles of 2024. The renovation insures that 357 Congress Street will continue to contribute to the character of the downtown neighborhood for years to come. The property is zoned T4 for mixed use and is currently being used as an AirBNB with 2 separate Bedrooms, 2 Kitchenette areas, 2 luxury Bathrooms, a Living Room with a Sleeper Sofa and a separate Laundry Room. However, this building has the perfect layout for a Professional Office space. The smaller space on the left has its own front door and back door with one large room, closet, Kitchenette and Bathroom. As you enter the larger space on the right you will walk through a Foyer, into a Front Room which could function as a reception area, and into the back private room with a closet, access to the Kitchenette and Bathroom, and the back door. The laundry Room can be accessed by both spaces, off the back deck. The back parking can hold 5 cars and there are spaces to park along the street. This Building was totally renovated, top to bottom: roof, double pane windows, tankless water heater, HVAC system, electrical, plumbing, etc. Take a look at the night time photo showing the soffit lighting and you will agree that this building is the prettiest in all of downtown. The renovation retained most of the Victorian historical qualities of the exterior fa?ade, the original Fireplaces and Mantles, gleaming hardwood floors and moldings. Records show that the original building was built around 1875, which means it is nearly 150 years old and it is now ready for a new chapter in its life. Come be a part of all the exciting growth of Downtown Mobile, close to restaurants, night life, art studios, and of course Mobile's renowned Mardi Gras festivities. Call for your private tour today.
