32 Cosmos, Hattiesburg, MS 39402

Some homes you tour. This one you sit on the porch and stay a while -- because the porch looks out over the water. A one-story, 3-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront home on the lake in Mineral Creek Landing, northwest Hattiesburg, Mississippi, it's right-sized at about 1,360 square feet and easy to actually live in. Built in 2018, the kitchen is the heart of it: granite countertops, a center island to spread out on, and a full lineup of range, microwave, dishwasher, and a refrigerator that stays. The primary bedroom has its own walk-in closet, and the single-level layout keeps everything on one floor -- with pull-down attic stairs for seasonal storage and ceiling fans throughout. Outside, brick veneer and cement siding sit on a slab foundation under an architectural-shingle roof -- the low-maintenance kind that lets you enjoy the weekend instead of working on the house. Double-pane windows, a heat-pump HVAC system, and a two-car attached garage cover the essentials, and Cspire Fiber is already connected for work-from-home days and movie nights. Front, rear, and covered porches all face the water, so morning coffee and evening unwinding come with a view. Mineral Creek Landing is a settled lake community with lake access, underground utilities, curb-and-gutter streets, and street lights, and the HOA is just $300 a year. The home runs on community water through Rawls Springs and public sewer through the City of Hattiesburg, and is zoned for the North Forrest school district. Waterfront in Mineral Creek Landing is a particular kind of quiet -- the kind you really have to stand on the porch to understand. Come see it for yourself and schedule a walk-through.
