A 1907 Historic Home located in the heart of the historic district of St. Marys, Ga. A traditional 'foursquare' design, and one of the first homes in the area constructed of an unusual type of block (known as granitoid, rarely seen in South Georgia). "There is something ineffably serene about this house. It is a visual version of a Vivaldi Concerto or Handel's Water Music. I sit and absorb the soothing impact of pale walls against honeyed woodwork, the abundance of flowing space and the unusual sense of tranquility that one feels here. My eye delights in the detail of the solid mantel-pieces that rest above the eight fireplaces, the perfectly chosen artwork that is redolent of a long-ago, somehow simpler, time and the light...always the glorious abundance of light that fills the house." - St Marys Magazine. The home has five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a formal dining room and comfortable living room. While the home has been modernized (central heating and air conditioning, modern kitchen, and more), one can still appreciate the original details of hardwood floors, large windows, dramatically high ceilings and two large porches - all surrounded by a half acre of camellias, azaleas, roses, magnolia, oak, camphor, cedar and persimmon trees, scuppernong grapes and a variety of other lush plantings. The detached garage offers an efficiency apartment upstairs, consisting of a kitchen, livingroom, bedroom, full bath with shower and washer and dryer. The backside of the garage has an enclosed patio, perfect for those warm summer nights with family and friends. This amazing and unique historical home has been used as a vacation rental for more than the last decade. Most furnishings and personal property will convey to the new owner, allowing for this thriving business to continue. P&L statements will be furnished to a qualified buyer during the due diligence period of the purchase contract. Saint Marys - For those of you who are not familiar with St. Marys, allow me to acquaint you with this wonderful small town. Located on the banks of the St. Marys River, the town is the second oldest in the U.S, following St. Augustine, Florida. It is in the Southeast-most corner of Georgia, nestled just west of Cumberland Island and east of Highway I-95. Jacksonville International Airport is only 30 minutes away. It is centrally located between Amelia Island/Fernandina Beach and Jekyll Island/St. Simon's Island/Sea Island. Once in St. Marys however, it feels a world away. Everyone greets you with a smile, and strangers wave hello. St. Marys was named The Best Small Town in America by Money Magazine, and is the site of the 2004 HGTV Dream Home. It was also recently highlighted in Southern Living Magazine. The town is small and quiet with moss draped oaks and a charming atmosphere. The house is within easy walking distance of shops and restaurants. Bikes and golf carts are available to rent. A kayak outfitter offers a variety of trips for all levels of experience. Or try your hand at fishing from the pier or in the river and tidal area. The Rose-Lovell House is just two blocks from the Cumberland Island Ferry and public boat ramp. It is a 45-minute ferry ride to what the Travel Channel has ordained as 'America's Most Beautiful Wilderness Beach'. Stroll the trails and beaches and catch a glimpse of wild horses, dolphins, white tailed deer, armadillos, wild turkeys and a variety of other birds. Stop in to the St. Marys Visitor's Center for information regarding activities, restaurants and local history. Meet at the flagpole on the waterfront to join the historic tram tour. This property has been a vacation rental for more than a decade, with repeat customers every year. Financials will be released only with a Non-Disclosure Agreement and proof of financing. This is amazing opportunity to own a piece of Southern history with great income potential!
