Welcome to this beautifully updated traditional Southern gem, where timeless character and modern conveniences come together seamlessly. Nestled in a quiet and comfortable neighborhood with no HOA, this home offers stunning marsh and tidal creek views, framed by majestic oak trees and over 20 mature palm trees lining the backyard. A charming Dutch door welcomes you at the front entry - perfect for greeting neighbors and letting in the coastal breeze. Step inside to find refinished oak floors and an abundance of natural light streaming through expansive windows along the back of the home. The main level features a formal dining room, a spacious living room with breathtaking views, a bright kitchen, a versatile office or flex space, and a serene primary suite complete with a fully updated bathroom and private access to the outdoors. Both the front and back porches are ideal for relaxing or entertaining, whether you're sipping coffee in the mornings or watching sunsets over the marsh. Just beyond the back porch, you'll find a 25-foot steel above-ground pool - perfect for cooling off on warm Georgia days. Upstairs, the third floor offers two generously sized bedrooms and a shared full bathroom, while downstairs, a bonus area awaits - a fully functional apartment with a cozy living area, kitchenette, bedroom, and full bath, offering endless possibilities for guests. Thoughtful updates since 2014 include a durable tin roof, new stucco exterior, fully remodeled bathrooms, restored hardwood floors, LVP flooring on the third floor, a refreshed primary suite featuring a private exterior door and planked ceilings, a completely updated well system (coming May 2025), all-new windows, and replaced decking for years of outdoor enjoyment. Located 10 minutes to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, 5 minutes to Interstate 95, and just 25 minutes to the beaches of Jekyll Island and St. Simons Island. Also enjoy quick trips to Jacksonville, FL (one hour) and Savannah, GA (one hour). Schools include Glyndale Elementary, Jane Macon Middle and Brunswick High School. A list of improvements can be provided upon request. Listing agent is one of the primary owners of this property.

One-Family Residential District
It is the intent of this Section that the R-20 Family Zoning Districts be developed and reserved for low-to-medium density residential purposes. The regulations which apply within these districts are designed to encourage the formation and continuance of a stable, healthy environment for one-family dwellings situated on zoning lots having an area of 12,000 square feet or more and to discourage any encroachment by commercial, industrial, high density residential, or other uses capable of adversely affecting the single-family residential character of the districts.
