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.
Home(s) will be sold ''As Is, Where Is,'' but are solid, full of potential, and ready for your personal touch. Don't miss this opportunity to make these home(s) your own. Call your trusted Realtor today to schedule a showing. Seller is ready to review any and all offers — so act fast! Don't let these home(s) be the one that got away!
