Charming coastal shotgun home with a vintage flair, located just blocks from the beach and the heart of Old Town Bay St. Louis. This fully updated property offers 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, with the potential for a 3rd bedroom if you count the versatile front room. Inside, you'll find timeless character blended with modern comforts — from designer lighting and curated finishes to a bright, open layout ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Recent upgrades include all-new plumbing, electrical, and a concrete slab foundation under the home, ensuring peace of mind and preventing standing moisture. The property also boasts a private guest house, outdoor bar, and quaint courtyard — the perfect setting for hosting friends or enjoying quiet evenings outdoors. All of this is within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, shops, and the new Amtrak stop. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, Airbnb opportunity, or full-time coastal retreat, this one checks all the boxes. Buyer and buyers agent to verify all information.
