About the House
“I updated the walkway and the landscaping, but there’s still lots of 1920s charm!" homeowner Erin Henry says. "The casement windows, arched door, and decorative vent are what make this house feel like a home.” The cottage’s stucco stands out among the typical wood siding in Mobile’s midtown district. “And there’s less maintenance,” Erin says.
In the yard, Erin went for easy-care picks. “The evergreen vines that curve around the door started out in two planters,” she says. “They really took off when I moved them into the ground.”
Both trees were in place when Erin bought the house. “They’ve practically doubled in size,” she says. “The palm adds a tropical vibe. It reminds me how close I am to the beach!”
