About this home
In DOWNTOWN Ocean Springs, within the coveted Golf Cart & Jogging District, where residential land sells for $340,000 for a .23 acre teardown, $405,000 for an undeveloped .25 acre lot and improved land lists at $805 per sq. ft. for a heated/cooled/ 2 yr-old-condo that is JUST 3 blocks away from this completely refinished residence on an oversized .39 acre lot. This home could become your INVESTMENT rental or your 2nd home or even your primary home with 6 guaranteed, off-street parking spaces. From this domain, you can stroll 3 blocks north to shops & restaurants (some underneath that 2-year-old condo triplex) or jog 4 blocks south to the beach, by way of the harbor or cart the kids 4 blocks west to the Children's Park or cart the family 5 blocks to the Fort Maurepas Nature Preserve. This home has never flooded (FEMA verified) because it is on a raised filled slab with chain walls, plus reinforced cement piers, all of which is anchored on a high natural land ridge...unlike many other streets in downtown Ocean Springs which are part of huge gullies & large swales; buildings on THOSE streets have flooded and will likely flood again. Even the 6 off-street parking spaces at this address are elevated at 18+ ft. above sea level (elevation certificate). The wide and long back yard (entirely fenced) has a prime spot for building a custom garage to store vehicular treasures; and there is still ample room for a backyard pool. In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina halted summer begun expansions of the west, south and east exterior walls. And even though this home had minimal (some shingles and a few original single pane windows) damage, skilled labor and material availability disappeared in Katrina's aftermath. All of the 1979 windows were replaced with premium Marvin double paned, thermal wood windows from an Atlanta GA distributor and several additional Marvin windows were added. The masonry exterior walls were soon completed. As skilled labor, budget & building materials became available. the interior 12+ rooms were worked on from 2006 to 2017, while, the owners remained living onsite. The point is that this building withstood Hurricane Katrina because coastal engineer Philip Batten was consulted for the 2005 expansions and his recommendations, which were more than the building code required at that time, were nonetheless, built into the expanded framework, and inspected by Batten himself. From an original 1550 sq. ft. home, this Craftsman style NOW has 3012 structural sq. ft. which includes 2606 sq. ft (68% more) heated/cooled spaces and 406 sq. ft. of new decks and porches. It is a one-story open floor plan featuring an enlarged, vaulted living room AND a separate, even bigger gaming/family room that can accommodate a pool table. The home has 4 bedrooms, 3 are now primary-size bedrooms and the 4th bedroom is a dedicated office. There are 2 wet-walled bathrooms (primary bath enlarged with a double vanity and custom shower) and a newly created Butler's pantry with a 2nd sink. There are NEW luxury upgrades in all doors, floors, windows, walls, lighting, counters, cabinets, sky lights/sun tunnels PLUS new custom wood built-ins and custom wood storage in 6 walk-in closets/ 8 closets total. Some rooms have artisan textured walls that are a nod to Peter & Walter Andersons' influence on O. S. as an art community. In the EVEN NEWER category, this abode has a brand new roof (2026), new HVAC (2025), new decks (2024/25), new mahogany front door (2024.) The owner/university trained designer has loved this home and designed every square foot to offer functional living and comfortable entertaining. So call soon for a viewing before she changes her mind...again....
