About This Home
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.
