Property Description
Welcome to 690 Japonica Drive, a charming elevated coastal cottage on Colonels Island, on the North Newport River, in Midway, GA. Cherished by a single family since 1966, this property is now available and on the market for the first time ever and is indeed, a rare find. Tucked in on a quiet dead end road, this is not merely a home, it is an invitation to live the Georgia coastal life in its most authentic form. Mornings on the dock, evenings on the screened porch, and the kind of peace that only deep water living can provide. Step outside into a life well-lived. Swimming, boating, fishing - all in your front yard. Built in 2019, this beautifully constructed waterfront home was crafted for exactly this type of coastal life. Inside, soaring 18 foot ceilings crown the main living room and kitchen, creating a breathtaking sense of volume and light, while 9 foot ceilings flow through the rest of the home, maintaining an airy, open feeling. The kitchen is expansive and built for gathering and entertaining in style, with leathered granite countertops, Bosch appliances and a center island. The main floor offers 1,160 SF, 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The screened porch across the front of the home is designed for seamless indoor/outdoor living and incredible water views. On ground level, the versatile 582 SF bonus space offers a flex room and full bathroom below the main home. Perfectly situated on the lower level with its own separate entrance this space is climate controlled and can adapt effortlessly to your lifestyle. Whether you envision a billiards room, an art studio or just simply climate controlled storage, this room delivers the freedom to make it your own. In just a few steps, you're outside on your covered patio with waterfront views. Colonels Island is one of coastal Georgia's most treasured and private communities, loved by coastal enthusiasts and conservationists. Don't wait, properties of this caliber and legacy don't last long.
