Tucked away in Savannah’s picturesque Islands area, this charming 1,450 sq. ft. , 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage feels like it’s been lifted straight from the pages of a Nicholas Sparks novel. On the market for the first time in 70 years, this home is a rare treasure, where original hardwood floors whisper stories of the past and the primary bedroom offers a front-row seat to breathtaking creek and marsh views. As the sun dips below the horizon, step onto your private dock on Richardson Creek and enjoy the many sunsets to come. Whether you’re savoring the serenity of the coastal breeze or dreaming of your next adventure, this home is the perfect setting for your next chapter. This home is situated on a large lot and is ready for any additions or a pool looking over then river. Just 10 minutes from Historic Downtown Savannah and 15 minutes from the beaches of Tybee Island, this is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle waiting to be lived. .
