Situated in Mobile’s oldest historic neighborhood, De Tonti Square was established in the early 1800s. The Fink-Thompson (Les Jumelles), meaning “The Twins”, homes were originally built in 1864 by Fink for his daughters. This home was later owned by Thompson, a Mardi Gras costume designer.

The stunning chef’s kitchen features top of the line appliances including a Viking 6 burner gas range, custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a wet bar with wine cooler and split brick flooring. Off the kitchen is an additional living area with tons of natural light, and a view of the cozy backyard which features a kidney shaped pool, koi pond and is fenced for privacy.
