This beautifully maintained, all-one-level historic home is a quiet move-in ready retreat in the heart of downtown. Just steps from restaurants, shops, schools, and events—and a quick 20-minute drive to St. Simons or Jekyll Island, this home checks the location box!
Historic charm in almost every room, the interior boasts stunning original details, including three decorative fireplaces with original tile surrounds and mantels. The 12’ ceilings and large windows throughout most of the home create a bright, airy feel. The living room is sunny and spacious with lots of options for seating configurations. The dining room features original silk wallpaper and could serve as additional living/guest or office space. Working pocket doors separate the living and dining rooms. The pretty kitchen is a chef’s dream with ample storage and a dedicated butler’s pantry (the perfect coffee or cocktail nook). You can see the clock tower of Old City Hall from the kitchen window! The kitchen also features stainless appliances, an additional pantry with built-in shelving, and a movable island.
The enclosed back porch is a heated/cooled flex space ideal for a home office or additional living/dining space. The sellers love how this room glows during the “golden hour” as the sun sets. Relax in the private primary suite with a quartz vanity and large walk-in tiled shower. The guest bedroom was recently revamped with calming tones and new wainscoting.
The low-maintenance and very private fenced backyard is an ideal spot to relax and entertain with a deck, patio, and two outbuildings for a workshop or extra storage. The attic is very large with the high roof line and is accessed via permanent stairs in the large storage closet in the center hallway.
Some pictures are “virtually enhanced” to give an idea of how some rooms can be decorated.
Enjoy total climate control with a newer roof (1.5 years old/transferable warranty) and updated insulation. Wave to neighbors from the deep front porch - ideal for sitting and enjoying the breeze and the sound of the wind chimes. Very easy to show. Call your favorite agent today!
