    What's special

    Welcome to your slice of paradise, just steps from the calming waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Experience what it's like to be on vacation year round at this perfectly restored classic Craftsman Bungalow built in 1927 in the West Side neighborhood of Gulfport. Shhh, this neighborhood is a best kept secret on Mississippi Gulf Coast—in a retirement tax friendly state! Enjoy a view of the Mississippi Sound every day from your front yard. Every detail has been considered for efficiency, accessibility and a true sense of escape. You'll want to keep your towel, a great book and a tall cup within reach. From 813 42nd Ave, you can take a daily dose of sun and sand, followed by a soak in your very own salt water pool. Inside, an open floor plan offers a sunny sitting room, an additional living room or formal dining room, and modern kitchen with timeless finishes from the ceramic wood look tile to the wood counter top at the kitchen island, perfect for gathering around. When you restore a home this well, you don't have to worry about trends that come and go. In each of the three spacious bedrooms with their own coordinating bathrooms, you can play host or allow your crew to peacefully occupy their own space. Your gorgeous backyard oasis features limestone pavers surrounding a salt water pool with state of the art technology, from heated waters in winter to cooled waters in the heat of summer, all with the ease of an app at your fingertips. Thoughtful yet low maintenance landscaping includes crepe myrtles, azaleas, boxwood hedges, palms and flowering trees offering beauty without the work. The star of the show is of course the ancient oaks overhead, adding shade, lowering temps and creating an idyllic backdrop for daydreaming. Two backyard sheds with new roofs and power at each offer endless possibilities—art studio, she-shed, income-producing opportunity, you name it. With four lots combined into one property, your new home offers easy parking on the grounds for several vehicles including an RV. Thanks to the many improvements and updates made to this home (HVAC, plumbing, electrical and more), its effective age is 2017. While flood insurance is not required, an assumable policy is available. Just outside your property, West Gulfport offers many conveniences—including the West Side Park with walking trail and splash pad, and the West Side Community Center with fitness center open to the public at no entry cost. Located between Island View Casino and the University of Southern Mississippi Long Beach campus, and minutes from Memorial Hospital, not to mention both bustling downtown Gulfport and adorable downtown Long Beach. Arrive to New Orleans, Hattiesburg or Mobile, Ala. in under an hour and a half. With the Amtrak passenger train set to roll from New Orleans to Mobile through Gulfport in 2025, that ride itself may soon become its own occasion between these two heralds of the Mardi Gras season. When you need an escape from the escape, the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport is less than 20 minutes away. As property continues to be developed into new residences in the area with the beauty of the water directly south, the west Gulfport community is nearing the precipice of a land shortage. What you can't buy, though, is a brand new home packed with character, lush with thriving, mature landscaping and nearly a century of history. And yet.. in 813 42nd Ave, you can nearly have it all.
