Rare Opportunity – Live in One, Rent the Other!
Spacious and well-maintained, this solid two-story block home offers 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and two full kitchens — designed with just about everyone in mind. Whether it’s your first home and you’d like rental income from the upstairs, you have college-age kids who need their own space, or you want a private, self-sufficient area for visiting family or in-laws, this home offers outstanding flexibility.
A private side entrance and interior stairwell give you options — keep it all connected as one beautiful single-family home, or enjoy the privacy of two separate living areas.
The owners have taken special care to preserve the charm of this 1941 home. More than half of the ceilings are one-inch tongue-and-groove wood, carefully refinished to showcase the craftsmanship. The very spacious living room features refinished heart-of-pine floors and a beautiful stone fireplace — a perfect blend of warmth, history, and comfort.

What the owner loves about this home
The layout offers so much flexibility — you can live on one level and rent the other, or keep it all as one big family home. The block construction makes it solid and quiet, and there’s a great little courtyard area for the in-law suite that adds privacy and charm. The home has two separate central A/C units, one for each level, and two of the bathrooms were just updated in 2025. The refinished hardwood floors give it character, and the location is close to downtown, Gulfport, beaches, and shopping, but still feels tucked away. It’s just a great mix of comfort, space, and opportunity. New Irrigation system!! Charming 1941 Vernacular Florida Cottage with durable block construction, original character, and mature oak canopy.
