Welcome to 1601 Bruce Drive, a coastal haven nestled in the desirable East Beach neighborhood of St. Simons Island. With picturesque views over the historic Coast Guard Station and the serenity of an estuary-fed marsh, this home offers a tranquil retreat for bird watchers and nature enthusiasts alike. This raised coastal cottage features a renovated kitchen that is both chic and functional. Anchored by a custom island and equipped with double ovens and sleek stainless-steel appliances, the kitchen's design facilitates a seamless cooking experience. A new energy-efficient roof, installed in 2021, exemplifies this property's smart, meticulous maintenance. Beyond functionality, the home's interiors exude an understated elegance with 9-foot ceilings and rich hickory hardwood floors. A distinctive bookshelf wall in the dining room provides a cozy ambiance and a stylish background for remote work sessions. The large garage, a rarity on East Beach, is perfect for storing vehicles, golf carts, and beach gear. Recent enhancements include an open kitchen layout, state-of-the-art appliances, a washer/dryer, and updated flooring. A conditioned workshop and a refreshed powder room add thoughtful updates to the list. The property's landscaping is a testament to beauty, featuring a charming bridge-covered pond embraced by native grasses, all accessible via a herringbone-patterned brick walkway. Multiple porches invite you to enjoy the soothing ocean breezes. Inside, the floor plan flows effortlessly. The main level greets you with a bright living/dining area and a conveniently located powder room. The kitchen's open design extends to a casual dining area and a cozy keeping room, completing the welcoming atmosphere of the main floor. Upstairs, the light-filled bedrooms offer awesome views. The primary suite features an ensuite bath, while two additional guest suites share a Jack-and-Jill bath. A versatile room currently serves as a fourth bedroom, thanks to an adjacent hanging closet. Poised to capture the heart of any beach lover, 1601 Bruce Drive is more than a house-it's a lifestyle promise. Being sold furnished, equipped and with a 2023 Evolution golf cart with Lithium battery-LSV equipped. Make your appointment to see today.
