Property Description

Own a piece of Hattiesburg history in the iconic Officers' Quarters on 2nd Avenue! Originally constructed in 1941 by A.B. Maynard using Hattiesburg architect Henry G. Markel, this historic downtown landmark was built during World War II and recently received an official historic plaque designation recognizing its significance in the Hub City. This updated two-story unit blends preserved architectural character with modern improvements in one of downtown Hattiesburg's most recognizable settings. Inside you will find freshly painted interiors, updated lighting with all LED fixtures, and a spacious living room with great natural light. The kitchen has a functional layout with generous cabinet storage, updated appliances including a new refrigerator that remains with the property, and an adjoining dining area with gorgeous chandelier and room for a full dining table. A renovated half bath downstairs includes new plumbing fixtures for a clean updated look. Upstairs, the original hardwood floors add warmth and historic charm throughout the bedroom level. The oversized primary bedroom offers impressive dimensions rarely found in downtown historic properties and includes plantation blinds that remain with the home. The second bedroom is well-sized with easy access to the full bath. Major improvements include a smart heating and air system, new water heater, roof replaced approximately two years ago, new gutters, and a concrete foundation installation. Window treatments, washer, and dryer will also remain with the property, making this home move-in ready while still preserving the architectural details that make the Officers' Quarters so special. The exterior courtyard setting, classic brick architecture, and walkable downtown location place this property just minutes from restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and the growing energy of downtown Hattiesburg. Historic properties with this combination of character, updates, and documented local significance rarely become available. Schedule your private viewing today!
