Quick Answer: 908 HWY 44 is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath new construction home on 1.33 acres — the largest lot of all four HWY 44 homes — in Sumrall, MS, listed at $284,000. Built by MBS Construction in 2026 (Upgraded Croft plan), it features a proper entry hallway with foyer, a larger primary shower (60×36), an oversized walk-in closet with built-ins, and two linen closets. Sumrall School District. No HOA, no deed restrictions, no flood zone, and USDA-eligible.

The other three homes on HWY 44 sit on one acre each. 908 sits on 1.33 acres — a full third more land — and it’s listed at $284,000. More land, competitive price. That’s the headline.

But the floor plan earns its own attention. MBS Construction gave this home something the other three don’t have: a proper entry hallway. You don’t walk from the front door straight into the living room. There’s a genuine foyer with dimensions that accommodate a console table, a gallery wall, family photos — space that creates a sense of arrival instead of a sense of intrusion. It’s an architectural choice that costs the builder square footage and earns the homeowner a house that feels intentional from the first step inside.

1,588 square feet, slab foundation, 9-foot ceilings throughout with a 10-foot tray ceiling in the primary bedroom. Split-plan layout. The primary shower is 60×36 — larger than the 48-inch width in the neighboring homes. Two linen closets scattered through the house for storage that goes beyond the obvious spots. No HOA, no deed restrictions, no flood zone. USDA-eligible. Sumrall School District is five minutes away.

Exterior & Curb Appeal

Brick veneer with cement board siding, architectural shingle roof at 8:12 pitch — the steepest pitch of the four HWY 44 homes, which matters for water management and long-term roof performance. Thermopane windows. The 1.33-acre lot gives you real separation from neighbors on either side. No deed restrictions — the extra third of an acre gives you room for future outbuildings, garden space, or whatever comes next.

Entry, Foyer & Great Room

This is where 908 stands apart. The entry hallway is long enough to feel intentional — console table, accent chair, gallery wall all fit without crowding. You’re not stepping from outside directly into someone’s living room. The mudroom with built-in lockers sits just off the entry, so shoes and coats land before they reach the living areas.

Nine-foot ceilings through the great room. Open layout flowing into the kitchen and dining area. Split floor plan keeps each space feeling distinct.

Kitchen & Dining

Quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a center island with pendant lighting and storage. Built-in trash pullout — a small detail that saves you from fumbling for a cabinet door every time you’re prepping dinner. The workspace flows logically from sink to range to island. Vinyl plank flooring throughout.

The dining area sits adjacent to the kitchen with room for a table that handles real gatherings.

Laundry Room

Dedicated room with countertop workspace and cabinet storage. The countertop is where you fold, sort, and organize — most builders skip it, MBS didn’t.

Primary Suite

The primary bedroom has a 10-foot tray ceiling and split-plan placement away from the guest bedrooms.

The primary bath is where 908 edges ahead of the neighbors. The shower is 60×36 — a full foot wider than the 48-inch showers in the other three HWY 44 homes. There’s also a 60×36 soaking tub for when you want a proper soak. The oversized walk-in closet has built-in shelving. And there are two linen closets positioned throughout the house — storage that goes beyond the primary bath.

Guest Bedrooms & Bath

Two guest bedrooms with 9-foot ceilings and large closets. Shared guest bath. The split layout puts them on their own side of the house.

Outdoor Living

Covered rear porch (87 SF) for all-weather outdoor space, plus a deck for warmer days. With 1.33 acres and no deed restrictions, you’ve got room to think bigger — firepit, shop, expanded landscaping, garden beds. The 2-car attached garage (428 SF) handles two vehicles and storage.

Aerial Views

From above, the difference is visible — 908’s lot is noticeably larger than the three neighbors. The extra third of an acre shows in the spacing and the room surrounding the house. First home on the right as you approach from HWY 44.
