208 State Street Mobile, AL 36603

Welcome to 208 State Street, a beautifully restored 1895 Victorian in the heart of Mobile’s sought after DeTonti Square Historic District of Downtown. Taken down to the studs and meticulously rebuilt in 2019, this home blends period elegance with the comfort and quality of modern construction. Featured in Mobile Bay Monthly (April 2019) for its stunning renovation, this property is a true work of art and craftsmanship.

Inside, you'll find soaring ceilings, original heart pine floors, and abundant natural light. A highlight of the home is its collection of antique stained glass windows, including an extraordinary 10x5 “Sacred Heart” window from an 1830s New Orleans church—casting rich, colorful light through the main living areas and serving as a breathtaking focal point.

The main level includes a formal living room (currently used as an office) with a bright bay window, a large dining room, and a cozy den. A secret bookcase under the stairs swings open to reveal a hidden powder room—a whimsical touch that delights guests and adds a layer of intrigue.

The kitchen is truly a showstopper, designed to inspire any cook or entertainer. Italian marble countertops, soft-close white cabinetry, premium appliances, gas stove with pot filler, filtered hot water at the farmhouse sink, a breakfast nook, and a spacious island make this space as functional as it is beautiful.

Upstairs, the primary suite opens to a private balcony and features a spa-like bath accessed through antique doors. A modern take on a claw-foot tub, glass-enclosed walk-in shower, dual vanities, and pocket doors on dual walk-in closets complete the retreat. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath, and a loft offers a peaceful space to read or relax.

Outside, enjoy multiple porches including a deep front porch, two rear balconies, and a private backyard. Gas lines are in place at the fireplaces for optional vent-less gas logs. Rear parking is accessible via the side street, and the property backs up to the beautiful gardens of the Richards DAR House Museum, one of Mobile’s most cherished historic sites.

The location places you in the heart of downtown Mobile’s walkable core. Just a 2-minute stroll to Nova Espresso for your morning coffee, a 5-minute walk to Greer’s St. Louis Market for groceries, and steps from the entertainment district where you’ll find live music, award-winning restaurants, bars, galleries, and nightlife. You’re also just half a block off Mobile’s Mardi Gras parade routes—close enough to catch the fun, but far enough for peace and quiet when it’s over.

Living in DeTonti Square means embracing a vibrant community in Alabama's oldest historic district, where historic charm meets downtown convenience. 208 State Street is not just a home—it’s a rare opportunity to own a beautifully re-imagined piece of Mobile’s history, in one of the most desirable and dynamic locations the city has to offer.
