Located in the heart of downtown Gulfport, this 21st century Key West-style elevated home is picture perfect and blends seamlessly with the area's eclectic charm. A custom wood gate welcomes you into a large, ultra-private courtyard filled with tropical plantings, creating a serene and beautiful setting that truly sets this home apart. Surrounded by masonry walls, this inviting outdoor space leads to the staircase up to the main living level. Upstairs, an open floor plan connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, all enhanced by vaulted ceilings and easy-care laminate flooring throughout. The kitchen features ample cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a center island, ideal for cooking, gathering, and entertaining. The spacious living room offers high ceilings and sliding doors that open to an expansive covered balcony. Designed with a split-bedroom layout, this home offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The primary suite includes a large walk-in closet, en suite bath with double sinks, a separate tub and shower, and private access to the balcony. The second bedroom is tucked away on the opposite side of the home and features vaulted ceilings and its own generous walk-in closet. The 35-foot covered balcony spans the entire south side of the home, overlooking the courtyard below, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The entire lower level is enclosed and offers exceptional versatility, including an oversized two-car garage with newly epoxied floors, automatic garage door openers, hurricane-rated windows, and flood gates for added peace of mind. A spacious 16' x 25' unconditioned bonus room provides endless potential for storage, a workshop, art studio, or creative space. Outside, the expansive courtyard is truly an entertainer's dream, complete with a 28-foot covered patio and surrounded by vibrant tropical greenery. The property also features alley access to the garage and a four-car off-street parking pad in front. The front yard is thoughtfully designed with xeriscaping and Florida-friendly plants, complemented by a drip irrigation system for easy, low-maintenance care. All of this just steps from everything downtown Gulfport has to offer-shopping, dining, the beach, fishing pier, vibrant seasonal events, and more.
