Greetings from sunny Gulfport — where the breeze feels softer, the colors feel brighter, and life moves just a little slower. Welcome to your bungalow by the beach. Just one mile from the sparkling waterfront, this circa 1945 “Old Florida†charmer tells a story the moment you arrive. A cozy covered porch sets the scene, and then — that magenta front door. Bright, happy, unforgettable. It swings open to reveal original hardwood floors, plantation shutters, classic wainscoting, mosaic tile accents, and a surprisingly open layout that feels airy and effortless for a home of this era. The living room flows naturally into the kitchen, with space for a full dining table where friends linger a little longer and dinners turn into memories. To one side of the home, you’ll find two inviting bedrooms and a full bath — tucked away and peaceful. On the other side, a step-down bonus room offers flexibility and possibility: home office, media lounge, guest retreat, or even future conversion into a multi-generational suite or income-producing space with the garage. It’s the kind of layout that adapts to your story. Step outside and the mood shifts to lush and green. Bamboo sways in the breeze, mango and palm trees frame the yard, just shy of a ¼-acre lot — a rare find this close to the coast — gives you room to dream big. Boat, RV, pool, gardens, entertaining under the stars… there’s space for it all. No HOA. No CDD. No flood insurance. Just the freedom to live creatively in Gulfport’s beloved Art District. Here, mornings begin with beach walks and salty air. Afternoons are spent wandering galleries and local markets. Evenings bring sunset celebrations on the pier, waterfront dinners, and live music drifting through town. You’re minutes to the marina, boat and kayak launch, and quick access to I-275 — close to downtown St. Pete and the airport, yet still feeling like your own tucked-away coastal escape. A little nostalgic. A little salty. Fully, joyfully Gulfport. Come step inside and feel the sunshine for yourself.
