Welcome to 5012 Cottage Hill Rd, a thoughtfully expanded and well-maintained home offering flexibility, stability, and long-term value in the heart of Mobile. Originally a 3-bedroom home, this residence has been professionally expanded into a true 4-bedroom, 2-bath layout with approximately 1,867 square feet, creating an ideal setup for room rentals, shared living, college-style roommate arrangements, veterans or independent senior housing, or multi-adult households. The functional floor plan also makes this home a great option for first-time homebuyers seeking space and versatility. One of the strongest features of this property is that the major systems have already been upgraded. The entire plumbing system has been replaced, the roof was redone in 2022, the HVAC system (inside and outside) was installed in 2017, and the gas water heater was replaced in 2023. These improvements provide peace of mind and significantly reduce future maintenance concerns. The kitchen includes electric appliances, and a rebuilt shed offers additional storage or workspace. A standout feature is the large private driveway and parking area with direct access into the living room, making it ideal for multiple vehicles, shared households, or frequent guests. This home is perfect for first-time buyers who are excited to personalize their space with minor cosmetic updates such as fresh paint, flooring, or cabinet refreshes, allowing them to build instant equity while enjoying a solid, well-maintained property. It also presents an excellent opportunity for investors and buyers seeking flexible living arrangements. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, and major roadways, this established Mobile neighborhood offers accessibility and everyday convenience.
