Within the coveted downtown part of the Ocean Springs Golf Cart District, this offering can be a 2nd home & vacation destination rental just 3 blocks south of shops & dining, 4 blocks north of the beach via the harbor & a few blocks east of the Children's Park, Art Museum & Fort Maurepas.
This address has a lot size - 50% bigger than .25 acre city lot, an elevation - building at 22 ft. & 6 guaranteed parking spaces at 18 ft. above sea level (per elevation certificate) & a downtown location - on a high natural land ridge which stands above the downtown gullies, swales & flooding (per flood maps.) All of these topographical assets, co
mbined with the EASE of CENTRAL ACCESS, are uniquely contributing factors to the LAND VALUE portion of this offering's sq. ft. price. The resident-properties-investor can provide "apples-to-apples" comparables for a closing. This expanded, remodeled 3012 sq.
ft. structure occupies an elevated .39 acre, no HOA involved and does not need flood insurance (FEMA verified-no flood damage ever) because the home was built & expanded on a raised, filled slab with chain walls anchored on a high natural land ridge. Hurricane Katrina wind damage (some roof, some window damage) was repaired/replaced.
New luxury upgrades, begun with 2005 expansions, replaced all original doors, floors, all windows, walls (interior & exterior), lighting, all counters & all cabinets. Upgrades include, but not limited to, solid core fir interior doors, premium Marvin double-pane, thermal wood windows, 2x6 studs, new, increased R-factor insulation, tie-downs, new ma

And still, there is ample space for a pool house. The 4 bedrooms include 3 primary-sized and the 4th is a dedicated office. The primary bathroom is enlarged with a double vanity & a custom shower room. The guest bath has tumbled marble with granite dots on 4 walls as well as the tub surround.
There are many wood built-ins, walk-in closets and newly created Butler's walk through with granite slab & 2nd sink. The artisan walls are a nod to Peter & Walter Andersons' community influence. A brand new 2026 roof and new 2025 HVAC system guarantee insurability.
