Coastal Cottage Perfection - Private, Upgraded & Move-In Ready in the Heart of the Golden Isles! Welcome to this stunning 2022-built coastal craftsman cottage nestled in one of Darien, Georgia's most serene and sought-after communities. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1,176 square feet of beautifully upgraded living space, this home delivers a rare combination of modern luxury, natural privacy, and unbeatable lifestyle - all priced to move at $289,900. From the moment you arrive, the charming light blue board-and-batten exterior, signature white gable truss, lush palm landscaping, and wide concrete driveway set the tone for what awaits inside and out. Interior highlights include luxury engineered coastal plank flooring, soaring cathedral ceilings, crown moulding, and upgraded lighting and ceiling fans throughout. The kitchen shines with granite countertops, a custom tile backsplash, and upgraded stainless steel appliances - all topped off with a designer plantation shutter package that adds timeless elegance to every room. Both bathrooms feature upgraded custom tile work and luxurious rainfall shower fixtures. The home is also equipped with a security alarm system for added peace of mind. Step outside to your private backyard oasis - a larger concrete patio with hammock tree mountings, surrounded by towering pines and a lush wooded buffer that backs up to a permanent, non-developable forest reserve - ensuring your privacy and natural views are protected forever. A tranquil pond just steps from the back door is home to fish, turtles, and native birds, and a beautiful community lake is visible right across the street, giving this property a remarkable three-water-feature lifestyle story. The community itself is packed with resort-style amenities including a private clubhouse, pickleball courts, and a private dock - offering an active, connected lifestyle that perfectly complements the natural beauty surrounding you. Location is everything here. Situated just minutes from the charming shops, restaurants, and waterfront of Historic Downtown Darien, you'll enjoy small-town coastal living at its finest. The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Glynco is just a short drive away, making this an ideal home for government and law enforcement professionals. And when the weekend calls, St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island - two of Georgia's most beloved Golden Isles destinations - are just a short drive away. This is not your average coastal cottage - it's a lifestyle upgrade. Better than new construction, fully move-in ready, and priced to sell fast. Schedule your showing today before it's gone!
