Property Description

Welcome to 227 Five Pounds Road, a truly special St. Simons Island property offering an exceptional combination of space, privacy, character and versatility. The 4,501-square-foot main residence features 4 bedrooms and 4 full baths, complemented by a beautifully appointed 624-square-foot private guest suite, providing 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths and more than 5,100 square feet of combined living space. Inside the main residence, generous living spaces, beautiful hardwood floors, extensive millwork, built-in bookshelves and cabinetry, and abundant natural light create a home filled with warmth and character. The spacious kitchen (featuring high-end Viking appliances along with a Scotsman ice maker) serves as the heart of the home and flows naturally into the surrounding living and entertaining areas. Set beneath a canopy of mature trees and surrounded by lush landscaping, the property feels like a private island retreat. Calamondin, olive, Meyer lemon and fig trees add to the charm of the grounds, while a gravel circular drive and additional parking provide a welcoming approach to the home. Outdoor living is truly at the heart of this property. An expansive insulated screened porch creates an exceptional year-round extension of the home, complete with a summer kitchen, dining area and comfortable sitting area beneath beautiful wood ceilings and exposed beams. Beyond the porch, the private salt-system swimming pool and oversized heated spa are surrounded by mature landscaping and a fenced rear, creating a secluded setting for entertaining, dining outdoors or simply enjoying the relaxed St. Simons lifestyle. Adding to the uniqueness of the property is the 624-square-foot guest suite, connected to the main residence by charming covered breezeways while maintaining its own private entrance. Far more than simply a guest bedroom, this thoughtfully designed space includes a separate bedroom and full bath, a private living room with fireplace, its own kitchen and stackable washer/dryer. The suite provides exceptional accommodations for extended family and guests while offering tremendous flexibility for multi-generational living, a private office, personal retreat or additional living space. With more than 5,100 square feet of combined living space, 5 bedrooms and 5 full baths between the main residence and guest suite, a private pool and oversized heated spa, exceptional indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces, mature landscaped grounds and distinctive private guest accommodations, 227 Five Pounds Road offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the space and privacy of an island compound while remaining warm, inviting and distinctly St. Simons.
