About This Home

Sea Island Cottage 471 – Luxury Living with Timeless Design. Come experience this extraordinary Sea Island residence offering over 5,000 square feet of refined coastal living. Thoughtfully priced to allow the next owner the opportunity to personalize or update to their taste. From the moment you arrive, the resort-style entrance sets the tone with a private footbridge leading to the front door, spanning a tranquil koi pond and fountain.
Inside, open and airy living spaces are thoughtfully designed for both comfort and entertaining. The gourmet kitchen overlooks the family room and informal dining area, creating a seamless flow for gatherings. Hand-thrown tabby floors, vaulted ceilings, and walls of glass provide timeless character and abundant natural light.
The home’s design embraces indoor and outdoor living with a conservatory-style summer kitchen, patios, and a secluded oval swimming pool with spa. Guests will appreciate their own private suite with sitting area, wet bar, full bath, and a bonus room above—offering privacy, comfort, and flexibility for extended stays.
The owner’s suite is a true retreat, complemented by two additional guest suites. Tastefully manicured grounds and mature trees enhance the serene setting. Located on the peaceful North End of Sea Island, this residence offers unmatched privacy with minimal traffic—ideal for both full-time and seasonal living.
A spacious bedroom suite over the garage features skylights that fill the living and dining areas with natural light, along with a convenient kitchenette and en-suite bath—an ideal retreat for guests or extended stays.
Renovated in 2014, this magnificent home is perfectly suited for gracious entertaining and relaxed coastal living. A rare offering in one of the most coveted island communities on the East Coast. Floor Plans and disclosures available under documents. The adjacent lot is also available for purchase, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire both properties together and create one of the largest estate holdings on Sea Island, with expansive frontage along Oglethorpe Drive between 53rd and 54th Streets.
