December 25, 2022
OHU50K Notes $79,900
It’s the details that count in this adorable Alabama home for sale. Would have liked to actually see the entirety of each room, but we do see imbricated shingles, gingerbread front porch, plenty of beadboard, hardwood floors and lovely fireplace mantels.
Realtor Comments
Lovingly know as Cowcumber Cottage, this 1938 Victorian farmhouse features a wrap around porch and gingerbread trim. This home would be an amazing investment opportunity within walking distance (only 3 blocks) of Monroeville’s historic, downtown square.

360 N MT Pleasant Ave, Monroeville, AL 36460 $79,900
The courtroom scenes in To Kill a Mockingbird were filmed inside the historic Monroeville courthouse, which is a museum today. Monroeville is near a town that has an outlet mall, is near other towns that are distinctive; such as the artsy community of Fairhope. Monroeville is near mobile and Pensacola, which both have huge Mardi Gras celebrations. You’d be about two hours from Pensacola Beach.
I emailed the realtor on this one. I doubt that you could call this “staged”. STAGED would put away the dishes that are on the kitchen sink…. Maybe it’s being sold FURNISHED; shall repost here if I find out anything. Perhaps the realtor will porovide more pics.
I love the history of Monroeville ~ town was home to author Truman Capote also, and was dubbed the Literary Capital of Alabama. I wonder WHO dubbed the house “Cowcumber Cottage”, cowcumber being a word relating to magnolias.
As Naima said above, this town has a strong connection with “To Kill A Mockingbird.” They do an annual amateur rendition of that movie at the town center. The reason for the connectiont is: Harper Lee’s book by the same name was based on the racial tensions in Monroeville. Lee’s earlier fiction book–which was a draft of Mockingbird–“Go Set A Watchman,” was also based on this town. Hopef ully things have staightened out since then!

The integrity and attributes of the house are not shown…seems like there was more interest in showing the decor..

These pictures are staged. I’d rather just see the rooms. It doesn’t tell you much about the condition of the house.
