With 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths, the home was thoughtfully constructed one room deep to maximize ventilation andcapture the the prevailing sea breezes from its southern-facing rear overlooking Store Creek. The interiors reflect understated grace and classic proportions, making it both inviting and functional. The home is sold furnished, with a few exceptions. THE GUEST COTTAGE-"THE COTTON HOUSE" Originally used for drying and storing bales of cotton and speculated to have once served as the overseer's residence, this historic structure was carefully dismantled and restored in 2008, preserving as much original wood as possible. It now serves as a charming 1,072 sq. ft. guest cottage with 1 bedroom, 1 full bath, 1 half bath, and a cozy living/kitchen area. The nearby bell, once used to call workers from the fields to meals, remains a tangible link to the past. Most of the furniture remains.

With approximately 40 feet of water depth, it accommodates a wide range of boating and recreational activities year-round.
