Property Description
This beautifully renovated 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home, originally built in 1940, offers the perfect blend of historic character and modern craftsmanship. Ideally located near downtown Biloxi and just seconds from the main gate of Keesler Air Force Base, this property provides unbeatable access to casinos, boating, fishing, beaches, golf, dining, and entertainment.
The exterior features three-sided wood lap siding trimmed with Hardie plank wood-grain accents, with new Hardie board and batten siding on the front elevation. The home is built on brick piers with wood slats and latticework enclosing the crawl space. Original historic elements including the transom, front door, and sidelights remain fully functional and preserved. Impact-rated 6-over-6 double-hung aluminum windows add durability and efficiency. A Blink security system includes five exterior cameras and a doorbell camera.
Inside, the home showcases 5-inch solid heart pine flooring throughout the living room and bedrooms, custom trim work, and solid-core interior doors that coordinate with soft-close shaker cabinetry throughout, including custom mudroom lockers. The living area features an antique heart pine accent wall and a dramatic 13-foot vaulted tongue-and-groove pine beadboard ceiling.
The kitchen, bathrooms, and mudroom are finished with custom white hexagon tile flooring. The kitchen offers custom cabinetry with soft-close shaker doors, brushed brass hardware, butcher block countertops, a pot filler, and a custom tile backsplash. Bathrooms feature custom tile shower surrounds with brushed brass trim.
The primary suite includes a tray ceiling, walk-in closet, custom tiled shower, and dual-bowl vanity. A custom sliding antique barn door leads to the laundry room, accented by end-grain antique beam flooring.
Additional upgrades include a new HVAC system with new ductwork, spray-foam insulated roof rafters, and a heated and cooled attic with wood flooring that could serve as a bonus space (accessible via attic drop-down stairs). Outside, enjoy a double driveway and a new 6-foot privacy fence.
This one-of-a-kind 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home offers historic charm, high-end finishes, and modern systems in one of Biloxi's most convenient and desirable locations—ideal as a primary residence, second home, or investment opportunity.
