Newly built in 2020, this beautiful custom luxury house is in the heart of Gulfport’s Historic Art District, just a few blocks from the sandy beach, restaurants and boutiques. No flood insurance required in this PERFECT LOCATION, close to the beach yet on a higher elevation.
Designed to look like a Coastal Craftsman, the newer house sits along a historic red bricked road that is covered in a thick canopy of mature oaks and Spanish moss. Tennis courts and a park are a block away. Entering the house, you’ll notice the sprawling high-ceilings vaulted over 12’ high in parts, tons of natural sunlight, and modern, open floor plan with a clean, airy design. The house is solidly built with concrete/stucco masonry, hurricane windows, a hurricane rated roof, and a high concrete foundation. 8' Tall sliding doors (2 sets) to the backyard are also durable hurricane windows. This luxury home is made of high grade materials. You’ll enter the house from a large Deco tiled front porch with a ceiling fan, perfect for relaxing with coffee or a cocktail. The huge living room space, large kitchen and dining area have an open design perfect for entertaining. Custom-made bamboo shades, marble window sills, and porcelain wood tile are in every room. The kitchen has tall custom-made wood cabinets, a raised bar and modern stainless-steel appliances. All bathroom and kitchen counters are high-end granite. Tons of storage throughout the house, including a large attic perfect for storage. Potential 2nd level expansion opportunities. Upgraded faucets, 6-inch floor boards, a modern glass shower, dimmable lights, smart home ethernet cabling (smart locks and a Ring style doorbell with camera are included), a metal bathtub, and ceiling fans throughout. The master bedroom suite has a private entrance. This house was built in 2020, so everything is virtually NEW, and the house even still has that new house smell! A lush, tropical oasis awaits you in the backyard. The giant, solidly built outdoor covered cabana and dining area overlook a koi pond and water garden with a calming waterfall. There is a custom-made solid wood tiki bar, dimmable café lights and an outdoor ceiling fan. For added privacy, there is a high board-on-board cedar fence. The pristine front and backyard are eco-friendly xeriscape for easy maintenance, and shaded by mature pine, oak, and palm trees, a small spice garden, and dozens of tropical plants for added privacy. The side yard was designed to offer enough room to park a boat, airstream, or two cars behind the wood gate...there is a 220 outlet for car charging or a pool. Why buy an old home with never ending issues and renovations, asbestos, mold... or wait years to build with supply shortages.
