Even Queen Victoria would relish an evening in this perfectly maintained and well-loved "Victorian" namesake home which was built in 1920, updated and remodeled in 2009 and has been enjoyed by all who have visited. The perpetual love and genuine appreciation of this home by all who have lived here and loved her has been passed down through the generations. Now it's your turn.
Old sea captains have lived throughout this "Old Town" neighborhood dating to the 19th century. You can imagine them puffing on their pipes sitting in front porch rocking chairs and relating old yarns about their many years at sea while also sensing their eagerness to return to their "Old Town" neighborhoods to find the comfort, love, harmony and peace that resides here.
I've always enjoyed riding through these pretty streets graced with oak covered canopies and sun-drenched porches which remain comfortable even on hot summer days with the balmy southeasterly breezes blowing in. On almost any given day visitors to "Old Town" can observe their friendly neighbors sipping icy cold glasses of Southern sweet tea or Dixie lemonade.
There are few places remaining in our nation like "Old Town" Brunswick, GA. Nearby neighbor, St. Simons Island, is the #2 retirement community in America according to "Money Magazine." Beaches, pretty churches, old plantations, shopping, sports, fishing, boating, marina's, schools, historical sites and great restaurants are all within 15 minutes from this home. Major airports, attractions, concerts, zoo's, shopping centers and activities are within an hour's drive. Charleston, SC is 3 hours away, America's oldest city, St. Augustine, Fl., is only 90 minutes from the front door. Jacksonville, Fl and Savannah, GA are within 58 minutes door to door! Taxes are low, morale is high, and good attitudes and friendly dispositions abound and prevaiil throughout the "Golden Isles." 720 Amherst St. is awaiting your knock at her door - come on down! |

SEAFOOD? Just mosey on down to the docks and buy all you want at reduced prices direct from the shrimper's and crabber's. It's so fresh you almost have to slap it so it will mind its manners!

GOLF - DID YOU SAY GOLF? We have 15 championship courses here. The Southeastern Conference and GA highschoolers play their tournaments here & three PGA golfers call the Golden Isles "home."
|
▪
BOATING AND FISHING are amazing here! SALTWATER FISHING MAGAZINE proclaims the Golden Isles to be "underfished" and a hotbed of activity for sea trout, redfish, flounder and whiting.
|
|

WHAT ABOUT RESTAURANTS? We are home to three, count'em, three FIVE STAR RESTAURANTS within 20 minutes. This is even more impressive when you realize there are less than 25 in Georgia!

SPOILED BUT NEVER BORED! The only folks that love it here more than grandparents are their grandchildren. There's so much to see and do here for both young. and old - every day seems like a HOLIDAY!
|
▪
CHURCHES stand proudlyand boldly throughout our community and some are bursting at the seams. The Holy Spirit is prevalent here and you can see HIM in the attitudes of our people. PEACE!
|
|
▪
THE HARDWOOD FLOORS are pretty to look at, comfortable to walk on and present a rich formal look while maintaining a "frumpy feel" that says "I'm so glad I live here!" Can you hear the "pitter pat?"
|
▪
THE STAINLESS STEEL appliances include: range/oven, refrigerator and dishwasher. The merging of voices from the kitchen's past with the comfort and ease of a modern kitchen are remarkable.
|
|
▪
THE HOLY SPIRIT resides in this home. You will feel HIS presence and peace upon entering and it will remain with you until you leave. This is by design. HIS name is called upon daily by the sellers.
