A rare South End St. Simons opportunity where classic island character, exceptional flexibility, and location come together. Set on a large corner lot beneath magnificent live oaks, this distinctive 1940 cottage has been thoughtfully expanded to offer 2,781 square feet in the main residence plus additional detached flex space. The main level features a primary suite and guest bedroom, multiple living areas, original hardwood floors, fireplace, and a bright kitchen with stainless appliances. A former library provides valuable flex space for a game or bunk room, office, media room, or second sitting area. A substantial 2018 addition created the attached garage and impressive second-floor Grand Suite featuring vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, full bath, walk-in closet, kitchenette, and generous sitting space—ideal for extended guests or multigenerational living. A separate climate-controlled detached space with full bath adds another layer of versatility. Rustic pecky cypress gives it distinctive coastal character, while the space could serve as guest accommodations, studio, office, bunk room, or future pool house. Outside, the expansive corner property offers tremendous potential to create a private outdoor retreat, with ample room for a future pool, gardens, entertaining areas, and more, subject to buyer verification and applicable approvals. Additional features include a metal roof, climate-controlled garage, large laundry/utility area, storage building, covered golf-cart parking, irrigation well and system, and abundant parking. Best of all is the South End lifestyle. Pier Village is approximately .3 mile away, with Mallery Park even closer. Walk, bike, or golf cart to restaurants, shops, the pier and lighthouse, beaches, pickleball and tennis, parks, waterfront views toward Jekyll Island, and some of the best ship watching on the Georgia coast. With flexible accommodations, strong short-term rental potential, and remarkable possibilities for both indoor and outdoor living, 322 Magnolia Avenue offers a rare chance to create a truly special St. Simons retreat.
