The everyday here

Coffee on the screened porch in the morning. The sun going down over the marsh from the back deck at night.

This one-story home sits just outside Darien city limits, close enough to run into town for dinner on the waterfront and far enough out to hear the marsh. Inside, the open floor plan has vaulted ceilings, built-in bookcases, bay windows, and a wood-burning fireplace in the family room.

The kitchen is made for gathering, with a big island, a breakfast bar, double ovens plus a convection oven, and a walk-in pantry. All three bedrooms are on the main level, so there are no stairs to think about.

It is coastal Georgia living without island prices.
