Set in one of St. Simons Island′s most desirable neighborhoods, this 4,150 square-foot home blends timeless architecture with extraordinary custom details. From the imported European entry door into the marble foyer and sweeping, two-story, curved staircase, every element reflects craftsmanship and care. The excellent floor plan features an open-concept kitchen/family room, as well as a lovely living/dining combination with a marble-surround fireplace and handsome study. This combination offers spaces for the entire family to gather and spaces for gracious entertaining and quiet retreat, providing the best of all worlds. A custom, gourmet kitchen is designed for both function and beauty. Outfitted with exceptional custom cabinetry featuring beautiful leaded glass fronts and soft-close drawers fitted with organizers, a mahogany island, Sub-Zero refrigerator and Bosch appliances, a Thermador convection oven and a large walk-in pantry, the space opens to the family room with its raised-beam ceiling which flows into the outdoor space.

The owner′s suite is a sanctuary featuring its own marble-surround fireplace, custom closets, a dressing area, and a spa-like bath with marble steam shower equipped with eight shower heads, a Jacuzzi tub, sauna, and water closets that include a bidet. Additional highlights include three additional bedrooms, and ample storage with a floored attic, a storage loft over the garage, and a workshop. The workshop could easily be converted into an artist′s studio or a gardener′s haven.
