Property Description
A rare opportunity to own a true piece of Pass Christian history, this stunning circa 1885 treasure is one of the most prestigious and historically significant original beachfront homes remaining post Katrina. Situated on an expansive 2.6 acre beachfront site with notably high elevation, and a second parcel to buffer from Hwy 90, offers a true estate setting. The numerous mature live oak trees, and beautiful landscaping, a private tennis court, and luxurious saltwater pool further contribute to the property's historic character and presence. The parcel extends fully to East Second in the rear, providing secondary private access and privacy to this exclusive estate. The home contains
approximately 4,000 +- square feet,of heated and cooled living area and is crafted of wood frame cypress on a raised substantial pier foundation, with a composite slate tile roof. The wrap around porch with Tuscan columns, turned balustrade, and many original windows will be the setting for early morning sunrises or late afternoon drinks and sunsets. The first level includes 4 bedrooms and 5 full baths impressive 14 foot ceilings throughout,10 foot solid cypress doors, wood flooring, crown molding and wide baseboards reflective of period craftsmanship. While preserving its historical integrity ; the home offers a true relaxed coastal feeling with it's welcoming back door butler's pantry, galley kitchen with bay window and top of the line appliances, and beautiful cabinetry. The living room is centered with a handsome fireplace, and banked with more windows and inviting window banquette seating. The second level contains approximately 1,436 square feet and is currently unfinished, but the home was originally designed to accommodate a finished second floor so today's buyer will have that option. The basement level includes a storage garage and a 456 SF wine cellar with half bath and kitchenette . A elevator lift serves the basement and second floor. Positioned on high elevation, the main living level did not receive water during Hurricane Katrina, offering both peace of mind and long-term value.
