Love the Gulf Coast but not the hurricanes and flooding? This is your perfect match! Tucked away in the high and dry, resort-style community of Diamondhead, this updated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath beauty gives you all the coastal fun without the coastal worry. Beaches, casinos, and charming towns are just 20 minutes away, and New Orleans is close enough for a quick day trip -- yet here, you can relax knowing hurricanes have less impact. Set on a roomy .55-acre corner lot, the home's welcoming circular drive and landscaping set the stage. Step inside and you'll find warm, light-filled spaces, luxury vinyl plank floors (no carpet downstairs!), and a double-sided wood-burning fireplace that cozies up both the great room and sunroom. The formal dining room is ready for holiday feasts, while the casual dining nook -- wrapped in windows with a tray ceiling -- is perfect for your morning coffee with a view of the deck and wooded backyard. The kitchen is a cook's dream with granite counters, a center island with cooktop, stainless steel appliances, built-in oven and microwave, breakfast bar, pantry, and even a built-in desk. The primary suite has a tray ceiling, his-and-hers walk-in closets, and a spa bath with dual vanities, a jetted tub, and a walk-in shower with two shower heads. A small main-floor bedroom makes a great office or nursery. Upstairs, two more bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath. Extras? You bet. Central vacuum, laundry room with sink and storage, ceiling fans everywhere, sprinkler system in front, a naturally landscaped backyard, oversized side-entry garage, and Diamondhead amenities like pools, golf, clubhouse, and tennis. It's the sweet spot -- all the Gulf Coast fun, none of the Gulf Coast fuss.
