About this home
Some homes have a way of making everyone feel welcome, and Heron House is one of them. Built in the 1920s in the Village, this treasured St. Simons cottage was saved from demolition and moved to East Beach in 1999, when it was placed on a foundation, renovated, and enlarged. While named Heron House, it is affectionately referred to as the "House of Blessings" by many who have stayed or lived here—a reflection of the love, joy, and blessings of the Lord shared under its roof. Nestled among established landscaping on a historic double lot, this happy home invites you to slow down and enjoy island life. Across from the marsh, it enjoys natural views and opportunities to watch coastal birds and wildlife. Gather over morning coffee on the breezy screened porch, where the leafy surroundings feel like a private treehouse, or spend an evening together by the living room fireplace. The welcoming dining area and kitchen with an island offer space for meals and conversation. Two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms are on the main living level, while two additional bedrooms and a shared bath upstairs provide room for family and friends. A second screened porch offers marsh views, and an enclosed outdoor shower welcomes you home after a day at the beach. Generous parking includes alley access along one side leading to covered parking beneath the house and guest parking in front of house. The spacious, fenced side yard offers room to relax and play, with potential for a pool, subject to applicable approvals. A survey, elevation certificate and pool estimates are available. Ideally situated by the beautifully restored Coast Guard Station and the East Beach entrance, Heron House puts beach days and island history close to your doorstep. A rental in its earlier years and a full-time residence since approximately 2010, this special gathering place is ready to welcome its next owners and the memories they will make. The property's historic double-lot configuration may permit restoration into two separate lots....
