A Thoughtful Transformation – 301 Kelsall Avenue, St. Simons Island

Originally built in the 1940s, this charming coastal cottage has been beautifully reimagined with a thoughtful redesign and a seamless addition, blending historic character with modern functionality. The renovation and expansion have enhanced the original footprint, creating a more open, livable space while maintaining the quaint charm that makes this home so special.

The original structure featured a cozy front living room, which has been preserved as an inviting space that welcomes you upon entry. The addition introduced a vaulted-ceiling great room, creating an open-concept flow that connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas for effortless entertaining and everyday living. The shiplapped walls add timeless coastal appeal, giving the home a fresh yet classic feel.

To maximize space and functionality, the primary suite was added, offering a walk-in closet and private access to the back porch. The new back porch now serves as a natural extension of the home, with doors opening from both the great room and the primary suite, allowing for easy indoor-outdoor living.

Situated on an incredible lot, this home is surrounded by lush coastal landscapes, swaying palmettos, and mature trees, creating a serene and private retreat. The backyard is a true oasis, featuring a saltwater pool with a sun shelf and a soothing water feature, perfect for cooling off on warm island days. The expansive outdoor space is ideal for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the beauty of St. Simons’ natural surroundings. Whether lounging poolside, dining al fresco on the back porch, or taking in the tranquil setting, this home offers a perfect blend of indoor comfort and outdoor luxury.

This renovation masterfully honors the home’s history while adapting it to modern coastal living. With its updated floor plan, added space, and inviting design, this home is ready to be enjoyed for generations to come—all within biking or golf cart distance to the St. Simons Pier Village and the beach.
