Historic Gulfport Craftsman with Soaring 9-Foot Ceilings, Edible Paradise & R-2 Zoning Step into the charm of Old Florida with this beautifully maintained historic Craftsman-style home in Gulfport's highly desirable Garden District. Featuring stunning 9-foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and timeless architectural character throughout, this home offers a rare blend of historic charm, modern upgrades, and future potential. The heart of the home is a show-stopping designer bathroom that has been completely renovated with floor-to-ceiling mosaic tile, creating a luxurious spa-like retreat. Recent improvements include a new roof, new HVAC system, new 200-amp electrical service, new hurricane-impact windows, and an instant hot water heater, providing both comfort and peace of mind. Outside, the detached garage includes a dedicated 50-amp EV charging circuit and sits on an R-2 zoned property, offering the potential to build a second unit, guest house, or mother-in-law suite above the garage (buyer to verify all development possibilities with the City of Gulfport). Located just four homes from a large park that connects to an extensive network of green spaces, this property offers a truly unique walkable lifestyle. Stroll through parks, gardens, and food-forest areas on your way to Downtown Gulfport, the waterfront, the beach, restaurants, shops, festivals, and the Gulf. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby dog park, playgrounds, elementary school, and bike-friendly streets. The lush tropical landscape is a private edible paradise featuring more than 30 fruit trees and flowering plants, including avocado, orange, star fruit, soursop, and other tropical varieties. A mature producing avocado tree serves as the centerpiece of this remarkable backyard retreat. An existing water well is also located on the property, although its current condition and operability are unknown.
