There is something special about life near the beach - and this beautifully updated Long Beach home gives you the space, setting, and character to enjoy it every day. Just two blocks from the Gulf of Mexico, this spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home sits beneath a magnificent canopy of mature live oaks on nearly half an acre in one of Long Beach's established coastal neighborhoods. Located south of the railroad in an X flood zone, the property offers an exceptional combination of location, space, and coastal charm. Inside, 2,482 square feet of single-level living provides room to spread out, entertain, and feel at home. Generous living spaces include formal living and dining rooms, a comfortable family room, and a light-filled sunroom that works beautifully as a home office, sitting room, or additional entertaining space. Two fireplaces, built-ins, crown molding, and thoughtful architectural details add warmth and character throughout. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, a gas range, and pantry. The spacious primary suite offers a walk-in closet, double vanity, travertine shower, and its own fireplace, creating a comfortable private retreat. Outside, the classic brick exterior and Bevolo copper gas lanterns give the home a timeless Gulf Coast presence. Eleven mature live oaks create a remarkable natural canopy over the expansive fenced yard, providing something increasingly difficult to find this close to the beach: space, privacy, and an established landscape that simply cannot be replicated overnight. The home underwent extensive updates in 2020, with double-pane insulated windows installed in 2021 and a new architectural shingle roof in 2026. A two-car garage provides additional storage and convenience. If you've been looking for a home near the beach without sacrificing space, character, a large yard, or everyday livability, 309 White Harbor Road deserves a closer look. Owner is a licensed Mississippi real estate agent.
