Description

PRICED 130K BELOW RECENT APPRAISAL! Sellers will look at all reasonable offers. Step into a meticulously restored residence situated in the heart of Historic Downtown Ocean Springs, only two blocks from the beach. Originally erected in 1900, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath dwelling has undergone an extensive five-year, $1M historically correct renovation overseen by architect Dennis Cowart and contractor Randy Hagan. Every aspect of this residence was attended to, from its structural components to interior finishes. A detailed list of the work done to the home & top-of-the-line materials used is available for your review. The charm of a historic home with none of the ''old house'' headaches. Original features such as heart pine floors, bead-board, window moldings, interior doors, and baseboards were thoughtfully preserved, enhancing the property's historic allure. The ground floor offers a spacious living area adorned with amber crystal chandeliers, a dual-sided fireplace, as well as a formal dining room, sunroom, and laundry. A true marvel, the kitchen boasts teak and holly floors reminiscent of a yacht's deck. Up the staircase, you'll find the primary bedroom, replete with an ensuite featuring a Japanese soaking tub and a second laundry room. Second floor also features two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and a size-able versatile bonus area with a bookcase/Murphy bed for extra guest accommodations. The third floor adds two more bedrooms and a bath. Outdoor amenities include front and back porches, an upstairs balcony adjoining primary bedroom with a hot tub, and provisions for an elevator. The residence has 17 separate energy-efficient ductless heating and air conditioning units (allowing individual room temp control), a gas tankless on-demand water heater, a Level II EV charging station with a 30 amp RV connection, and an oversized whole-house generator. Nestled on a sprawling 2.81-acre plot, this property is one of the largest in downtown Ocean Springs. Its prime location on the revitalized 500 block of Porter Avenue affords unrivaled access to local events and festivities. Coupled with commercial zoning, this property offers a gateway to endless opportunities. Seize this exclusive opportunity to own a piece of Ocean Springs' rich heritage, seamlessly melded with modern comforts. Call to schedule your private showing!
