341 Lake Stillwater Drive, St Simons Island

Inspired by the 2017 Southern Living Idea Home, this custom-built coastal residence captures the essence of Lowcountry living—where architecture, light, and outdoor spaces come together in perfect harmony. Ideally positioned on a tranquil lakefront homesite within the gated community of Stillwater on St. Simons Island, this home offers a lifestyle that feels both elevated and effortlessly relaxed. Wrapped in porches and windows, the home is bathed in natural light, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere while framing picturesque views of the meticulously maintained landscape and serene water beyond. Designed with intention, the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas maximize both light and flow, making everyday living and entertaining feel seamless. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful, featuring custom cabinetry, stone countertops, a spacious island, and a thoughtfully designed pantry. Equipped with natural gas for cooking, the kitchen is both efficient and ideal for those who appreciate performance and precision. A dedicated wet bar adds both function and charm, complete with a distinctive Dutch door that opens to the porch—creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces. The main living area is anchored by a fireplace fueled by natural gas, offering both warmth and ambiance with ease. The primary suite is a true retreat, privately situated on the main level with tranquil views and direct access to the home’s spa-inspired bath. Here, a freestanding soaking tub, oversized glass shower, and dual vanities create a space designed for relaxation and restoration. Just off the primary suite, a well-appointed laundry room includes a built-in workspace, offering a functional and discreet home office. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with well-appointed guest accommodations, a secondary living area, and thoughtful architectural details throughout—including a charming built-in reading nook that offers a quiet, tucked-away space to unwind. The upper level also opens to one of the home’s most special features—a signature screened “sleeping porch,” designed as an extension of the living space and ideal for enjoying peaceful lake views year-round. Outdoor living is at the forefront of this home’s design, with expansive porches that function as true extensions of the interior. Whether enjoying a quiet morning overlooking the water, hosting gatherings in the screened living areas, or relaxing around the lakeside fire pit under the stars, every space has been thoughtfully created to embrace the coastal lifestyle. A separate well for irrigation ensures the lush landscaping remains effortlessly maintained year-round. Additional features include a tankless hot water heater for on-demand efficiency and an exterior finished in durable Hardie siding, combining lap and board-and-batten for both timeless curb appeal and long-lasting performance. Blending timeless Southern architecture with modern functionality, this home stands apart—offering character, craftsmanship, and a connection to its surroundings that is rarely found.
