Description

Welcome home to beautiful Biloxi near the Back Bay! Situated on a high corner lot with picturesque water views, this charming property features a main home plus a versatile guest cottage. Mature oak trees draped with Spanish moss add timeless coastal character. The main home is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence offering a flexible bonus room ideal for a home office, craft space, storage, or additional sleeping area (no closet). Cosmetic updates may be desired and are reflected in the price, while the home remains comfortable and livable as-is. The 3-tab roof on the main house is approximately 14 years old. A newer Trane HVAC system was installed on 9/20/22 by Ball Heating & Air. The detached guest cottage (approx. 390 sq ft) is currently occupied and offers excellent flexibility—perfect as an art studio, in-law suite, or additional living space. It features a mini-split system serviced on 10/14/25 by Foster's A/C, and the roof was replaced in August 2024 by Byron Construction. A metal storage building conveys with the sale. Located in a desirable neighborhood surrounded by lovely homes, this property offers charm, flexibility, and opportunity. Call your trusted realtor today, so that you don't let these charming home(s) be the ones that got away!
