A timeless coastal retreat, walking distance to the sand. Built in 1900, this historic home carries more than a century of Gulf Coast Charm. Classic wood construction, well kept throughout the decades, gives every room warmth and a sense of history that new builds can't replicate. A decorative fireplace anchors the living space, a beautiful focal point for quiet evenings and gatherings alike. Outside a generous half acre awaits your vision. Come experience the charm yourself. Previously used as an Air BNB this would make a nice investment or long term home. The current owner purchased it earlier this year as his primary residence. A job transfer forces him to leave this coastal dream home behind.
Mississippi City, located between U.S. 90 (Beach Boulevard) and the Mississippi Sound, is a coastal and historic Gulfport neighborhood with a working waterfront feel and a breezy, porch-lined streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Beach Boulevard corridor near the Mississippi City harbor, where seafood counters, bait shops, and low-key patios set the daily rhythm. The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies and the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center act as cultural anchors with hands-on exhibits and coastal education. Architecture leans toward raised cottages and post-storm rebuilds, with palms and live oaks framing wide skies. Side streets lead to small marinas and pocket parks, while the shoreline keeps the horizon in view.

1900 Craftsman house with view of the beach. Completely remodeled, electrical and plumbing plus metal roof. Currently a vacation rental, comes fully furnished and decorated. This house has been a popular property on vacation rental sites. People love that they can sit on the porch and view the beach and Gulf of Mexico. More than half of an acre, all landscaped with two very old live oak trees (115 years+). Comes with a slab and fire pit, horse shoe throwing area. RV connections for two RVs with 30 amp connections. White picket fence surrounds about 3/4 of the property. 1/4 of the property is behind and ready for use. Another building can be added if it is connected to the main house by a breezeway. The front porch is wide and deep with three fans. The back porch is one year old and large enough for a group. A large concrete pad in the back can be used as a basketball court. Now for the inside. The living room has the original 1900's fireplace (it does not work but could be made to work). Beautifully furnished and decorated. The open concept permits a large dining room table with center piece. The kitchen is open to the dining room with a large island that contains the dishwasher. A farmers sink brings out the age of the property. Beautiful counters and large display of plates, cups and other kitchen items on the walls. The pantry is cleverly created out of a former screened door. The refrigerator is less than one year old. Other appliances were installed in 2015 or later when the house was fully rehabbed. Plenty of cabinets in the kitchen for storage. Behind the kitchen is a 1/2 bath on the left side and on the right side a laundry room with full size washer and dryer plus storage for cleaning materials and linens. Both have antiquie style pocket doors. The back door is a split door, from the original house. Bedroom one includes a beautiful full sized bed with closet and connected jack and jill bath. Bedroom two includes a full size and four built in twin XL bunk beds. and is connected to the jack and jill bath. The master bedroom has a queen bed with its own full bathroom which is quite large and well appointed. Of course there is a closet. Fans are located throughout the house in all rooms and the living area. Much of the house is original. The former owners who remodeled the house left a complete photo album of their progress in remodeling showing all of the new electrical and plumbing. The hardwood floors throughout are of lighter colored wood and are in great condition. Security lights are mounted on all four corners of the house. A wifi enabled entrance lock is installed on the entrance door. The alarm system has no debt and the new owner can transfer the ownership. Some great features include shutters on all windows that have recently been painted. Shutter doors cover he front and rear doors in the event of a storm. Water bibs located at all four corners of the house. Outdoor shower at the rear of the house. Large gas bbq included. Three pear trees and a very mature lemon tree are on the property. The owners are willing to share Airbnb and VRBO rental data but make no representation that the house will generate the same income in the future. This house will make a great primary home for retirement or a family retreat. The property management company would like to continue the property on the vacation market and is prepared to discuss this with a buyer. Few homes of this age exist any longer on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, particularly one that has been made modern in the places that count. Several weddings have been held at the house making it very special. It's one of a kind, don't miss out. Watch this video https://youtu.be/KtEC_8Kn_tQ
