Discover this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath coastal cottage just a few blocks-easy walking distance-from Gulfport's white-sand beaches. Built to last, the entire home is framed in cedar (naturally termite-resistant, basically termite-proof) with sturdy 2x6 exterior walls for added strength, efficiency, and peace of mind. Set on a spacious, fenced corner lot shaded by mature oaks, it blends character and comfort with fresh interior paint, original hardwood floors, vintage wood paneling, and a welcoming stone fireplace. The kitchen features granite countertops, built-in bar seating, and ample cabinetry, while both bathrooms pair retro charm with modern function. Practical upgrades include updated electrical receptacles/outlets throughout, a newer HVAC system, and a newer roof. Relax or entertain on the screened-in porch with ceiling fans and string lighting-perfect for coastal breezes. The large backyard is built for play and downtime with a fire pit area, porch swing, and plenty of green space. A dedicated laundry room with built-in storage adds everyday convenience. Located in a lively Gulfport neighborhood, you're moments from downtown shops and dining, Island View Casino & Resort, the Mississippi Aquarium, and Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport. Outdoor lovers will appreciate nearby Jones Park with playgrounds, a splash pad, walking trails, a marina, and event spaces.
