Oak Grove Schools Under $250K: A Renovation Done Right in Hattiesburg, MS

This completely renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home at 222 Springhill Dr in Hattiesburg MS’ Westover subdivision delivers Oak Grove schools, a brand-new kitchen, updated bathrooms, a newer roof, and every window replaced for $249,500.

I sold this house in 2007. It had wallpaper, mauve carpet, and a kitchen that hadn’t been touched since the 1970s. The current owners didn’t just update it – they reimagined every surface, every system, and every detail. Walking through today, you wouldn’t recognize it as the same property.

What Did the Renovation Include?

This wasn’t a cosmetic flip. The owners lived here and invested in the kind of updates that matter for daily life and long-term value.

The kitchen was gutted and rebuilt with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and a glass tile backsplash that catches the light. Stainless appliances are included. The new layout opens to the dining area and great room, so you’re not isolated while cooking.

Both bathrooms were completely redone. The primary bath features a custom tile walk-in shower with glass enclosure and a granite vanity. The second bath has a tub/shower combo with tile surround, new vanity, and updated flooring. Every fixture is new.

Beyond the kitchen and baths, the renovation touched everything. Every window in the house has been replaced. The front windows are tinted for privacy – you can see out, but passersby can’t see in. Every interior door is new. The closet interiors were rebuilt with proper shelving and organization. Crown molding runs throughout. Ceramic tile flooring extends through the main living areas.

What About the Major Systems?

This is where a lot of renovations fall short – pretty surfaces but aging infrastructure. Not here.

The roof has been replaced. The tankless water heater provides endless hot water and lower utility bills. Additional insulation was added throughout the house for better efficiency. The garage door has been replaced with an insulated door and new motor.

When I walk buyers through homes, I always check the roof, HVAC, and water heater. Those are the expensive surprises. At 222 Springhill, they’ve all been addressed. Buyers should verify specific ages and conditions during their inspection period.

What Does the Living Space Feel Like?

The great room centers on a wood-burning brick fireplace with a raised hearth – the kind of fireplace you actually want to use on a January evening. The open layout connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas without feeling cavernous. It’s sized for real furniture and real life.

Ceramic tile throughout means no carpet to replace, no fibers to trap allergens, and easy cleanup. The neutral paint palette works with any decorating style.

The covered patio and side porch extend your living space outdoors. The double attached garage provides direct entry to the home, and a separate shed handles overflow storage. The lot runs 60 x 188 in an established neighborhood with mature trees.

Why Does the Location Matter?

The location also works for commuters. USM is a short drive for students and faculty. Forrest General Hospital and Merit Health Wesley are both nearby. The Highway 98 and I-59 interchange sits just minutes away, making it easy to head toward Jackson, the Coast, or anywhere in between.  222 Springhill Drive is :

• 1.7 miles to USM (University of Southern Mississippi)
• 1.8 miles to Merit Health Wesley
• 4.0 miles to Hattiesburg Zoo
• 4.8 miles to Lucky Rabbit Downtown Hattiesburg
• 19 miles to Camp Shelby

What Should Buyers Know?

The property is in a FEMA-designated flood zone. I’ve sold this house before and spoken with multiple owners – they report the house has never flooded. We’re obtaining a flood elevation certificate for documentation. Flood insurance will be required for financed purchases, so factor that into your budget.

As with any home purchase, buyers should conduct their own inspections and verify all property conditions, system ages, and features during their due diligence period.
