Tucked beneath a canopy of majestic live oaks on coveted Second Street, this soulful Pass Christian property offers a rare blend of historic charm, expansive grounds, and coastal lifestyle -- all just moments from the heart of downtown. Estimated to be over 100 years old, this home is filled with the kind of character and warmth that simply cannot be replicated. High ceilings allowing for oversized windows and transoms flood the interior with natural light, including several floor-to-ceiling windows that add to the home's timeless architectural charm. Rich hardwood flooring, interior shutters, and inviting living spaces create a mood that feels both artistic and effortlessly relaxed. Set on approximately 0.9 acres across two separate lots (0.5-acre homesite + adjoining 0.4-acre lot included), the property offers an uncommon sense of privacy and space right in the middle of one of the Mississippi Gulf Coast's most beloved coastal towns. Whether you envision a guest cottage, studio, family compound, garden retreat, or future expansion, the additional lot opens the door to endless possibilities. The backyard was designed for quiet mornings and long afternoons outdoors, complete with a beautiful lap pool added in 2023, spacious entertaining deck, an outdoor shower and serene views from the oversized kitchen window overlooking the grounds. Mature magnolias and towering oaks create the kind of setting that feels more like country living than downtown life -- while still being golf-cart accessible to Pass Christian's picturesque shops, restaurants, marina, and growing coastal scene. Additional highlights include: Metal roof replaced in 2019; lap pool added in 2023; Large attic space with potential for future expansion and previously drafted plans for a potential second story; No flooding or wind damage from Hurricane Katrina (and flood insurance has not been required by current owner). Pass Christian continues to draw buyers from New Orleans and beyond who are searching for a slower, more meaningful coastal lifestyle -- one where historic cottages, moss-draped oaks, golf carts, and waterfront sunsets still define everyday life. Properties with this much land, character, and future potential on Second Street rarely become available. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, an inspired weekend retreat, or a legacy property to shape over time, this is the kind of home that stays with you long after you leave. Come experience the charm, space, and soul of Second Street living for yourself.
