A coastal classic with modern must-haves! This Gulfport residence is rich with vintage character that coexists perfectly with a contemporary lifestyle. Coved ceilings, archways, honey toned wood accents, and built-ins all give a graceful nod to yesteryear. Yet, tasteful renovations throughout elevate the home to today’s modern living. A spacious living room opens into a thoughtfully crafted kitchen featuring extended white shaker cabinetry, stone countertops, a standalone pantry, glass front display storage, stainless steel appliances, and stylish lighting. Two bedrooms share an updated main bathroom which echoes the home’s timeless appeal. A standout feature is the bonus room with incredible versatility. Use this light filled space for a home office, dining area or third bedroom. If a true primary suite is desired, a simple conversion into the second bathroom would create an ideal owner’s retreat. Want curb appeal? This home delivers! The xeriscape front yard with tropical landscaping and a stone circular driveway provides convenient guest parking and a welcoming first impression. The showstopper is the backyard retreat. An expansive wood deck, lush landscaping and a sparkling pool set the stage for effortless entertaining and quiet relaxation. An additional paver patio ensures comfort for all guests and sunbathers. Desirable alley access with a roll away white vinyl fence and gate opens to extra parking, perfect for an RV, boat and golfcart. The garage features a new epoxy floor and added cabinets while a new shed tucks away beach gear and gardening essentials. Recent upgrades include impact rated windows, a Rheem AC with ductwork and attic insulation, a whole house water filtration system, gutters with rain barrels, a Deck-O-Drain, and a 220 volt outlet for a future spa. Everything is covered under a termite warranty. Gulfport is more than just a destination – it’s a way of life. Often referred to as fun and funky, it has a vibrant community spirit. Explore the boutique shops, indulge in waterfront dining, experience lively parades, festivals, and the Tuesday Morning Market. This home is the total package—ideal location, classic charm, modern comfort, and a backyard that truly steals the show. **Ask for the entire update list**.
