The galley kitchen features granite countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and a window over the sink. Both bathrooms retain details that fit the character of the home, including white subway tile, beadboard wainscoting, and a mosaic tile floor. Recent updates include replacement windows within the last two years and a gas water heater less than a year old. Outside, a covered deck with a shade canopy overlooks the privacy-fenced backyard beneath mature oak trees. The current built cute storage building after purchasing the home. Its covered front porch offers another spot for a pair of chairs and a quiet evening under the trees. Sellers are willing to negotiate replacement of the roof before closing as part of a mutually acceptable contract. Any roof replacement is subject to agreement on the purchase price, seller concessions, and all other terms, and must be included in the written agreement.

With approximately 1,600 square feet on one level and no HOA, this home combines the character of an older Hattiesburg home with practical updates and an especially convenient location.
