201 Five Pounds Road, St Simons Island

This is one of the most desirable locations and sought after neighborhoods on the island! Mid-South, away from hustle and bustle yet minutes to shopping, fine dining and of course the BEACH! Imagine waking up, grabbing a thermos of coffee, hopping into your golf cart and taking a 5 minute ride to Gould's Inlet and watching the sun rise, or sitting on your own front porch enjoying the sunset. As you ride around Shaws Bounty you realize it's such a magical place with all the Live Oaks and manicured lawns, not to mention the friendly neighbors. This home offers a large front porch and a back patio that extends almost the length of the house, perfect for grillin' and chillin'. It can be accessed by the living room or the breakfast area. In the springtime the azaleas are breathtaking with the entire yard watered by a two-year-old irrigation system on its own well! In late winter the Camellias put on a show. The den has a rarity on the island, a real wood burning fireplace. The bright sunny kitchen and breakfast room located next to the garage make for easy unloading of groceries. By the way you're minutes away from either Harris Teeter or Winn Dixie, making that forgotten ingredient easy to obtain in the middle of making your newest recipe. All the kitchen appliances are about 5 years old, and the cooktop is gas for the chef wannabes out there. The oversized, two car, side entry garage is large enough for not only two cars but that golf cart or boat, your choice! There is plenty of off-street parking with the three-year-old driveway and the additional circular drive in the front. The HVAC is about 1 year old. The home is well maintained and structurally sound. Original to its build and only two owners it has good bones and is awaiting the new owners to make it their bespoke environment! The good news is you're not having to "fix" someone else's idea of a renovation. We have drawings of potential ideas for consideration that do not involve going outside the original footprint. The attic is a great area for expansion with its high ceiling, windows and square feet! It could easily contain an additional 2 bedrooms and bath. At this price one could spend a ton of money and still be well within the neighborhood average price!
