Historic Ocean Springs main, harbor, park & beach are 3 to 4 blocks from this property where a much loved original home was greatly enlarged and rebuilt by 2007. South, east and west exteriors were extended on newly poured foundations to bring subfloors level with the existing raised slab, thus enlarging living room, enlarging dining room, enlarging bedrooms, creating an ensuite, a separate large family room, creating a butler's pantry and creating a separate office/nursery. Although cottage in curb appeal, this home with ample tree shade hides approximately 2600 square feet and now offers 3 master-size bedrooms and bathrooms with surrounding tiled walls. There is a brand new roof, 8 month old upgraded HVAC, a backyard deck constructed on sonotubed footings anchored well below grade and st ained mahogany beveled glass front door. Exterior upgrades occurring between 2005 and 2007 are included as 17 bulleted points in booklet on site. Interior upgrades added between 2005 and 2025 are included in booklet on site. All custom millwork throughout, including picture window seated alcove, additional closets and extensive built-in wood shelving from 2005 to 2025 are listed but not limited to 16 bulleted points in booklet on site. There was little wood trim (gutted) and NO wood beaded board in the original home. All millwork IS wood (not MDF), including some ceilings that are wood and walls that are wood and all of it constructed onsite post Katrina. Hurricane Katrina dispersed many workers who lost their homes and moved away. Skilled sub-contractors were found and paid for by the hour. Practicing structural engineer Philip Batten was consulted on the planned, spring-time 2005 additions for 414 General Pershing, the master carpenter/foreman complied and Batten inspected those results. Rafter tie-downs which were not code required in 2005, but were recommended by Philip Batten were installed prior to Katrina and did work in holding this home with additions together throughout Hurricane Katrina. The Katrina wind damage that happened was due to damaged limbs of many Water Oaks that had been on the property during Hurricane Katrina and have since (entire trees) been removed. There was NO flood damage/NO flood claims from Katrina or any other (prior Katrina or post Katrina) hurricane as FEMA verified. The property is approximately .4 acre in downtown O.S. with ample space to host a future pool and a pool-house/garage without losing any of the 7 existing, elevated, off-street parking spaces. This property is also located on a high natural ridge that extends 2 blocks south to a unique built-into-the-road LEVEE which detoured the majority of Katrina flooding. There are additional on site topographical improvements since Katrina. Fencing paid for and belonging to property as follows: treated wood privacy at northern property line; chain link at eastern property line; chain link and custom picket at southern property line; heavy duty custom rolling driveway gate, picket gate and privacy gate facing west. There is NO HOA. Viewing by realtor appointment with 2 hour notice. Thank you for your consideration.
