About this home
Step into a true piece of Hattiesburg history the moment you arrive! Built in 1895 and located in the heart of the Kamper & Whinery Historic District, this remarkable home was originally built by Hattiesburg's first Postmaster.
A brick walkway leads to the deep covered porch and classic façade. The front yard feels established with brick paths, mature landscaping, a charming gazebo, and a white picket fence that frames the property beautifully.
Inside, the foyer is unforgettable. Tall ceilings, heart pine floors, and a historic mirrored mantle create a dramatic first impression. That mantle also hides a secret passage that adds a fun and rare touch of character you simply do not see anymore!
The main living spaces are warm and inviting with working fireplaces, rich wood floors, and original trim throughout. The living room centers around a detailed fireplace mantel and flows into surrounding spaces while still feeling distinct and intentional.
The formal dining room showcases an original decorative ceiling and a statement chandelier that highlights the craftsmanship of the late 1800s. Just off the main living area, the study features a matching historic ceiling design.
The kitchen offers granite countertops, a large butcher block island, and a six-burner gas range. Stainless appliances include a Bosch dishwasher and double ovens. A classic triple-basin historic sink adds charm you cannot replicate. A walk-in pantry nearby provides generous storage and keeps everything within reach.
The primary suite is located on the main level and feels spacious and comfortable with an original brick fireplace. The large walk-in closet includes wood shelving. The en-suite bath has been updated with a soaking tub, a glass-doored shower, dual vanities, and updated lighting.
Upstairs, three additional bedrooms feature hardwood doors, dormer nooks, multiple closets, and access to attic storage. The upstairs bath includes a walk-in shower, a soaking tub, and a cozy wall-mounted heater that fits the historic feel of the home.
A laundry chute from the upstairs bath leads directly to the spacious laundry room below, which includes cabinetry and a beautiful stained glass window that brings in natural light.
Behind the scenes, this home has been extensively updated. Improvements include PEX plumbing, updated electrical, a tankless water heater, foam insulation in both the attic and crawl space, reworked ductwork, two central HVAC units with one brand new, and two additional mini-split systems. An electric vehicle charger will remain with the home.
Outdoor spaces are just as inviting with brick patios, shaded garden areas, and peaceful spots to relax or entertain.
Located just steps from downtown Hattiesburg, this home offers easy access to dining, arts, music, and community events while still enjoying the charm of the historic residential district. Homes with this level of preservation and modernization rarely come along.
