    Fenced side yardKitchen with new appliancesBreezy private screened porchDouble lot locationBrand new ceiling fans
    Heron House on Saint Simons Island is the ultimate beach cottage! First time ever on market for sale, this home was moved from The Village onto its current double lot location and enlarged. Start with plenty of parking for all the guests and parties you will have at this East Beach paradise. The fenced side yard offers room for a full size swimming pool and the ability to add a pool house or additional living space. There's a hot and cold, enclosed outdoor shower on the ground level that could easily have a half bath added. The breezy, private screened porch feels like you're sitting in a treehouse with all the established landscaping, and has brand new ceiling fans. Enter the front door to a semi open concept dining, living room with fireplace and kitchen with new appliances. All of this house has been freshly painted, inside and out. The living room fireplace has brand new gas logs. The laundry room is located off of the kitchen and includes a stack washer and dryer. The kitchen features a built in island, shelving with columns and all of the beach cottage charm you look for when dreaming of Saint Simons Island life. The main suite and guest bedrooms are located on the first floor and both have en suite bathrooms. The upper level offers 2 more large bedrooms and a big bathroom with shower. There's a side screened porch with views of the marsh and off in the distance you can hear the ocean. Just a minute or two walk to Coast Guard Station East Beach access, or hop on your golf cart. Location, location, location says it all and you'll be hard pressed to find another double lot beach cottage like this. Come see the Heron House today!
