With great apprehension we are selling our beautiful home at 4412 Scarlet Oaks Drive to return home to Florida.  This home has brought unimaginable joy to our family.  While here, we have befriended pelicans, ducks, alligator turtles, and incredible neighbors who will be friends for life.  When we purchased the home we had no idea we would fall in love with the house and the Mississippi Gulf.  Leaving is difficult because we will never find a home on a more beautiful setting at any price point. Each day begins with an amber sunrise, views of the bayou, visits from wildlife, radiant sunsets, and quiet nights.

​

This custom home was built by a Jackson County Judge in 1970 who spared no expense in its construction.  The solid blonde-brick home with walls of windows is built on an elevated one-acre lot with incredible views of the pristine bayou.  The home is one of a kind! It would cost over a million dollars to replicate this type of construction today.  Original 1969 house plans included with purchase.

​

The home is an architectural treasure with its open concept, soaring ceilings, and walls of windows that facilitate bringing the outside indoors.  The kitchen, dining room, and living room face the pristine and unspoiled Mary Walker Bayou so you can watch egrets, eagles, alligators, blue birds, kingfishers and jumping mullet from the comfort of your home. Bright white walls are complimented by mahogany wood floors and create an elegant coastal vibe.

​

The home was built with the intention of entertaining guests!  There are three bedrooms with exterior access providing guests with privacy.  A bedroom located in the lower elevation of the home, off of the family room, with patio access would be an incredible mother-in-law apartment, Airbnb rental, or isolated home office.  The adjacent laundry room could easily be upgraded into a small bathroom.  Additionally, there is a RV hookup located to the east of the garage for visitors.  A large wood-shop could be converted into an office, bathroom, or sleeping quarters if desired.
