Quick Answer: 900 HWY 44 is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath new construction home on one acre in Sumrall, MS, listed at $276,500. Built by Double B Construction in 2026 (Upgraded Wentworth plan), it features navy blue board-and-batten accents, matte black hardware throughout, a navy island with glass globe pendants, and marble-look quartz in the primary bath. Sumrall School District. No HOA, no deed restrictions, no flood zone, and USDA-eligible.
At $276,500, this is the lowest price point of the four new construction homes on HWY 44 — and it’s not because anything got skipped. It’s because Double B Construction priced it right.
What separates 900 HWY 44 from a typical new build is design intention. Navy blue board-and-batten accents on the exterior. Matte black hardware on every faucet, cabinet pull, and light fixture. A navy island in the kitchen with glass globe pendants. Marble-look quartz in the primary bath with separate vanity stations. These are choices, not defaults. Most new construction at this price plays it safe with beige and brushed nickel. This one didn’t.
1,535 square feet on a one-acre lot, slab foundation, 10-foot ceilings in the main living areas, split-bedroom layout. ~$180 per square foot for a home that qualifies for USDA financing, sits outside the flood zone, and carries no HOA and no deed restrictions. The Sumrall School District is five minutes down the road.
Exterior & Curb Appeal
Brick veneer with navy board-and-batten siding accents — you notice it from the road. Architectural shingle roof at 7:12 pitch. The covered front porch runs 86 square feet with stained wood columns and a glass-panel front door. One acre of lot with no deed restrictions means the property is yours to develop however you want.
Great Room & Foyer
Ten-foot ceilings from the foyer through the great room and kitchen. The open layout connects the spaces without turning the whole floor into one undivided box. Vinyl plank flooring throughout. Split-plan layout keeps the primary suite on its own side of the house.
Kitchen
This is where the design decisions show up. The navy blue island with glass globe pendant lights anchors the room — not white, not gray. White shaker cabinets and white subway tile backsplash keep the backdrop clean so the island and the matte black hardware do the talking. Quartz countertops. The island has a level bar for seating. Stainless appliances — range, microwave, dishwasher. Walk-in pantry. Custom cabinetry throughout.
Dining Area
The dining space flows from the kitchen with a tray ceiling overhead. Matte black chandelier. Room for a table that handles family dinners and holidays.
Mudroom & Laundry
Mudroom with built-in lockers and a drop zone — backpacks, jackets, and keys get a landing spot before they hit the living space. Separate laundry room with real workspace. There’s also a 21-square-foot storage room for seasonal items and overflow — a small square footage that pays for itself in sanity.
Primary Suite
Split-plan placement with 10-foot ceilings. The bedroom is sized for a king bed with room to move around it. Oversized walk-in closet with built-in shelving, double-hang rods, and organizational systems.
Primary Bath
The bath is where the design package peaks. Instead of a standard double vanity, this one has two separate vanity stations with individual sinks — no competing for counter space in the morning. Each vanity sits beneath black-framed mirrors with marble-look quartz countertops and matte black faucets. 60×36 soaking tub and a separate 48×36 walk-in shower with a matte black rain-style showerhead. Custom cabinetry below both vanities.
Guest Bedrooms & Bath
Bedrooms two and three on the opposite side of the house, each with 9-foot ceilings. Both handle full-size beds and furniture. Shared guest bath. The split layout gives genuine separation between the owner’s side and the guest side.
Outdoor Living
Covered rear porch (104 SF), a rear deck with railing overlooking pine trees, and a 238-square-foot patio — enough for furniture groupings and real outdoor entertaining. The one-acre lot stretches back with room for whatever comes next. No HOA, no deed restrictions — fence it, build on it, plant it, park on it.
