* * BACK ON THE MARKET AT NO FAULT OF THE SELLER * * Step into a remarkable blend of heritage and sophistication at 286 S Wayne Street, a beautifully restored early-1900s Victorian located just a short walk from downtown Jesup. Nestled within the city’s sought-after historic district, this exceptional residence showcases classic architectural character paired effortlessly with upscale modern updates. It is within steps to the city's tennis and pickle ball courts, community pool and playground. Designed in collaboration with the acclaimed Atlanta interior design firm Gordon Dunning, the previous owner began renovation of the home in 2020. Every change was completed with intention — honoring the home’s original craftsmanship while elevating it for today’s lifestyle. The result is a warm, inviting residence that feels both timeless and luxurious. The home offers four spacious bedrooms, each featuring its own private en-suite bath, providing comfort and privacy throughout. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main level and features a stunning updated bathroom with an elegant tiled shower and double marble vanity. An additional bedroom and full bath on the first floor add flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. One of the home’s standout spaces is the addition of an enclosed sunroom, where oversized picture windows fill the room with natural light. Marble flooring enhances the refined feel, creating an ideal setting for morning coffee, quiet reading, or casual entertaining. At the center of the home, the chef-inspired kitchen is both impressive and functional. Highlights include a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, dual Bosch dishwashers, and a striking La Cornue range with dual ovens. Custom inset cabinetry extends to the ceiling and is complemented by a rolling ladder, marble countertops, a generous island, built-in pantry, and a well-appointed butler’s pantry — offering abundant storage and prep space. Original oak and heart-of-pine hardwood floors have been meticulously refinished and flow throughout the main level, preserving the home’s historic soul. The formal dining room and parlor proudly retain their original fireplaces, serving as elegant focal points that reflect the home’s rich past. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedroom suites, a versatile common area perfect for a playroom or lounge, and an oversized laundry room complete with a sink and extensive cabinetry. Outside, the welcoming wrap around front porch invites you to enjoy quiet mornings, slow evenings and getting to know your neighbors. Exterior improvements include new porch columns, enhanced brick walkways, wrought-iron railings, and a remote-controlled driveway gate. Modern features such as a full security system with Google-enabled lighting and cameras, along with a new irrigation system, add both convenience and peace of mind. Behind the scenes, the home was also comprehensively updated with new HVAC systems, a tankless water heater, upgraded electrical wiring, outlets and switches, and a fire suppression system. A storage building provides additional space for tools, hobbies, or equipment. This extraordinary property offers a rare chance to own a beautifully preserved piece of Jesup’s history — thoughtfully updated to meet modern expectations. A truly distinctive home where historic elegance and contemporary comfort come together seamlessly. * * * PRICED WELL BELOW APPRAISED VALUE * * * ALL BUYERS MUST HAVE PREAPPROVAL OR PROOF OF FUNDS PRIOR TO SHOWING
