In Gulfport, mornings start with bike rides to coffee, evenings unfold by the water, and spontaneous plans rarely require a car. Local markets, art walks, live music, and waterfront sunsets are part of the weekly routine — and this home lets you step right into that rhythm. Just moments from the waterfront, this well-maintained block cottage with coastal character offers a comfortable, low-maintenance setting designed for everyday living and easy enjoyment of the Gulfport lifestyle. Inside, the home has been completely renovated with a cohesive, move-in-ready feel. Wood-look tile flooring runs throughout, paired with an updated kitchen and refreshed bathrooms that balance style and practicality. The open layout flows naturally from the living room through the kitchen and into the dining area with a custom built-in dining banquette, allowing the space to live larger than its footprint and function well for both daily life and casual entertaining. A split floor plan adds flexibility and privacy, with bedrooms positioned on opposite sides of the home. One bedroom features a separate exterior entrance and an adjacent flex space, making it ideal for guests, a home office, or a creative workspace. An interior laundry room adds everyday convenience. Out back, a private tropical setting extends the living space outdoors. Mature landscaping with uplighting, and an expansive paver patio create a low-maintenance environment designed for relaxing and entertaining. Hang your kayaks on the fence mount then hop in the outdoor shower to rinse off. The backyard offers ample space for hosting friends, or setting up a game of cornhole while enjoying Gulfport’s laid-back, outdoor-friendly lifestyle. A detached backyard shed (with electrical) adds even more versatility, offering space for storage, a workshop, or a flexible area that could serve as an art studio, hobby room, or creative retreat. Recent and meaningful improvements include a newer roof (2021), updated electrical panel (2021), updated sewer line (2023), front porch and walkway pavers, sod, gutters with gutter guards, custom hurricane fabric panels for added peace of mind, and fully paid-off, owned solar panels (2021) that help keep electric costs low (averaging approximately $30–$50 per month). A private driveway provides convenient off-street parking. HVAC and electric tankless water heater are approximately 6-7 years old (2019/2020). Conveniently located near Beach Boulevard, the Gulfport Marina and Yacht Club, waterfront parks, and just down the block from Skyway trail and Clam Bayou Nature Park, where you can launch a kayak into the mangroves and spend time on the water — with manatees and dolphins often seen throughout Boca Ciega Bay. The area also offers easy access to local restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, markets, and community events. Well suited as a primary residence or second home, this property captures the appeal of Gulfport living — walkable, water-oriented, and centered around comfort, community, and ease. No flooding or damage from 2024 hurricanes, or ever to seller's knowledge. Flood insurance quote for under $2,500/year available upon request. Ask about our preferred lender incentive!
