Under contract-accepting backup offers. Tucked into a quiet residential street and directly adjoining Wood Ibis Park, this thoughtfully updated Gulfport home brings a rare combination of location, privacy, connection to nature and flexible living. The home’s split layout creates an easy flow. Two bedrooms off the front hall are complemented by the inviting living room and ample kitchen with L-shaped quartz counters and new cabinetry. The home features wood-grain luxury vinyl flooring throughout. A light-filled dining room opens through French doors to a generous screened lanai, leading to a lush private garden and fenced back yard. At the rear of the home, a versatile bedroom suite features a vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet, private bath, and its own kitchenette, along with a private entrance and dedicated off-street parking. The space works well as a primary retreat, guest suite, creative studio, multigenerational living quarters, rental opportunity, or work-from-home solution. The home provides peace of mind with new HVAC - 2025, roof (hurricane clips and attic insulation) - 2023, solar panels - owned, impact windows, vinyl siding, new fridge and dishwasher; electric bills are minimal. After storm-related flooding in 2024, the seller used the necessary repairs as an opportunity to make meaningful upgrades, resulting in modernized systems, finishes, and energy performance. Appliances, solar, all convey. (The mailbox does not...the exception...) Mature trees and abundant birdlife create a calm, restorative setting where it’s easy to forget you’re in a metro area, convenient to everything. Native landscaping minimizes water use, while permeable pavers, a private rear driveway, alley access, and a spacious storage shed add everyday practicality. The verdant back garden opens directly onto Wood Ibis Park with its lake and walking trails. Stroll to the Pearl Restaurant or downtown Gulfport’s waterfront, art scene, dining, and community events—an eclectic, open-hearted community and one of Florida’s most sought-after small cities.
