If youre looking for historic Gulfport beach house charm combined with thoughtful modern upgrades, this fully renovated POOL home must be seen to be believed. Located in the art district, just a five minute walk to Beach Boulevard dining and shops, properties like this rarely come on the market. The original pine hardwood floors and portico ceilings have been beautifully restored. The interiors feature granite countertops, all new kitchen cabinetry, and updated lighting and fixtures. The property has been extensively upgraded with new electrical wiring, updated internal plumbing, heat pump and central A/C units, and a whole house water softener. Home had no storm damage and No flood insurance required! Solar panels installed on both the house and back building keep utility costs extremely low. Current Duke bills average approximately $35 per month, the minimum charge monthly. An electric vehicle charging station means fuel is free for your electric car. A stunning, natural garden at the back of the fully vinyl fenced property features a generous, shaded entertainment lanai (20 x 30) with grilling pad and a prep kitchenette in the back building. Travertine pavers create elegant walkways and an easy care surface for parties. A fountain and mature plantings make this a haven for birdwatching. A second screened dining lanai offers access to the saltwater swimming pool and the main kitchen. Brick pavers surround the pool, front driveway, and rear garage parking pad. All have been power washed, re sanded and sealed this year. Low maintenance landscaping supported by a well and irrigation system, period appropriate metal awnings above the front doors, and a metal storage shed add practicality to beauty. The spacious primary bedroom with ensuite bath opens into the back lanai and could also serve as an art studio, writers retreat, guest quarters, or home office. The home also includes a laundry room that doubles as a pantry and staging area for entertaining, complete with refrigerator, washer, dryer, granite counters, and storage cabinets. Major improvements have been made for storm protection and insurance savings. All duplex windows have been replaced with hurricane impact windows, hurricane shield covers protect the side doors and rear structure, and roof repair and strapping have been completed to qualify for full wind mitigation discounts. A great find for multi generational families, friends looking for a compound or even the versatility of a rental. If you sleep on this one, you wont sleep in it.
