Quick Answer: 904 HWY 44 is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath new construction home on one acre in Sumrall, MS, listed at $285,900. Built by MBS Construction in 2026 (Upgraded Douglas plan), it features a laundry room with real countertop workspace, kitchen cabinetry to the ceiling, a dual-sink vanity with knee space in the primary bath, and the largest garage (517 SF) of the four HWY 44 homes. Sumrall School District. No HOA, no deed restrictions, no flood zone, and USDA-eligible.
MBS Construction builds homes around how people actually live, not how things look in a marketing photo. 904 HWY 44 is the proof.
The laundry room has countertop workspace and cabinet storage — not a closet with hookups, but a room where you can fold, sort, and store without commandeering the kitchen counter. The kitchen cabinetry goes all the way to the ceiling — no dust-collecting gap, no wasted space. The primary bath has a dual-sink vanity with a knee space so you can sit down while getting ready. These are small decisions that add up to a house that works better every day you live in it.
1,588 square feet on a one-acre lot at $285,900 — roughly $182 per square foot. Slab foundation, 9-foot ceilings throughout the main living areas, 10-foot tray ceiling in the primary bedroom, split-plan layout. USDA financing eligible, no flood zone, no HOA, no deed restrictions. The Sumrall School District is five minutes away.
Exterior & Curb Appeal
Brick veneer with cement siding, architectural shingle roof at 7:12 pitch, thermopane windows. The covered front porch runs 108 square feet. One-acre lot, slab foundation, built to handle Mississippi weather. No deed restrictions — the property is yours to develop.
Great Room
Nine-foot ceilings and an open layout that connects to the kitchen without feeling like one big undivided box. Vinyl plank flooring throughout — durable, easy to clean, handles daily life. Ceiling fans for air circulation. The split-plan layout keeps the primary suite on its own side.
Kitchen
This is where MBS made the decisions that matter. Cabinetry extends to the ceiling — every inch of wall space earns its keep. Quartz countertops that won’t stain or chip. The island has seating for breakfast or gathering. Window over the sink frames the backyard. Stainless appliances — range, microwave, dishwasher. A dedicated pantry with real shelf space. The layout works because MBS thought about how people actually cook, not just how the kitchen photographs.
Laundry Room
This is the room that separates 904 from most new construction at this price. Countertop workspace and cabinet storage — fold clothes on a real surface, store supplies without climbing a ladder. Most builders treat the laundry room as a closet with hookups. MBS gave it proper square footage and function.
Mudroom
Built-in lockers and coat closet just off the entry. Shoes, backpacks, jackets — everything lands here before it reaches the living space.
Primary Suite
The primary bedroom gets a 10-foot tray ceiling — a visual lift that makes the room feel larger. Split-plan placement puts it away from the guest bedrooms for real privacy.
Primary Bath & Closet
60×36 soaking tub and a separate 48×36 shower. The dual-sink vanity has knee space — a seating area where you can actually sit down while getting ready. That’s the detail most builders skip. Walk-in closet with built-in shelving and hanging space.
Guest Bedrooms & Bath
Two guest bedrooms on the opposite side of the house, both with 9-foot ceilings. Shared guest bath. The split layout gives guests their own territory.
Outdoor Living
Covered front porch (108 SF), covered rear porch (73 SF), and uncovered deck/patio (117 SF). Mississippi seasons are long — these spaces extend your usable footprint from March through November. The 2-car garage is 517 SF — the largest of the four HWY 44 homes — with room for two vehicles, workspace, and storage. The one-acre lot with no deed restrictions means a shed or outbuilding is your call.
Aerial Views
One acre gives you privacy without requiring a property manager. The drone shots show the home’s footprint relative to the lot — efficient siting, room to breathe, separation from neighbors.
