Welcome to a rare mid-century "time capsule" tucked away on Mercer Inlet. Built in 1959, this 3-bed, 2-bath home feels like stepping into another era. Inside, original details abound: solid wood paneling, gleaming knotty pine cabinetry, and iconic blue “boomerang” laminate countertops that define the atomic-age kitchen. The living room centers around a white brick fireplace with a retro electric insert, while a spacious den addition and screened porch offer room to relax or entertain with a view. Outside, the property unfolds across nearly an acre of tidal creek frontage with a private dock. Perfect for kayaking, fishing, or savoring the coastal breezes. Nestled on Burnside Island, you’ll enjoy quiet coastal living just minutes from downtown Savannah. This home is more than mid-century inspired—it is mid-century preserved. Whether you’re ready to restore it, cherish it as-is, or reimagine it with a nod to its past, this gem is a rare find that bridges nostalgia and nature beautifully.
