Property Description

Downtown golf-cart living in the heart of historic St. Marys - one of Bailey Street's classic 1950s brick mill houses, right-sized for lock-and-leave coastal life. Whether you're downsizing, buying a second home, or trading a big yard for a walkable downtown, this is the kind of place that makes life simpler without giving up a thing. A quick golf-cart ride takes you to the St. Marys waterfront, with easy access to downtown shops, restaurants, the Cumberland Island ferry, the submarine museum, the festivals, and the riverfront charm that define one of Georgia's oldest and most walkable towns. Jacksonville International Airport is just about 35 minutes away, making travel and guests effortless. Inside, the home blends authentic 1950s character with thoughtful modern updates. Original heart pine floors run throughout, with a covered front porch and a side-entry carport offering direct kitchen access. The kitchen brings a fresh, modern touch with white cabinetry and dramatic zebra-woodgrain laminate countertops, including an eat-in counter. The primary bedroom features a custom-designed closet with built-in dresser drawers and shelving behind large sliding mirrored doors, and the bath carries classic black-and-white tile in keeping with the home's era. The showpiece is out back: a 1,028-square-foot screened lanai that nearly doubles the home's usable living space - a year-round, bug-free room to relax, dine, and entertain. It includes a hot tub, a private outdoor shower set behind a fenced partition, and a second refrigerator. Between the interior and the lanai, you're living in roughly 1,800 square feet of space - an efficient footprint that lives far larger than the numbers suggest. The large yard is built for low-maintenance living, with sustainable low-water landscaping, minimal grass to mow, a fire pit with a supply of firewood, storage sheds, and room for an RV, boat, and trailer. Major systems are already done: a new metal roof with matching carport (2021), a new HVAC system (2023), and fresh interior paint (2023). Move-in ready, no deferred maintenance, no renovation budget required - a rare combination on this street. A true 2-bedroom, 1-bath downtown cottage: authentic character, modern updates, and a lifestyle you can't build from scratch.
