Property Description
Step Back in Time at the Sheffield-Gunn House. Welcome to the Sheffield-Gunn House 1911, a beautifully preserved historic bungalow located at 208 Bartlett Street in the heart of Historic St. Marys, Georgia. Just two blocks from the scenic waterfront and the Cumberland Island ferry, this remarkable home offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of local history while enjoying today's modern comforts. A magnificent antique wood front door welcomes you onto the expansive 40' front porch and into a home filled with craftsmanship that is difficult to replicate. Rich original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, and exquisite original millwork immediately transport you to another era. Yet, you'll appreciate the comfort provided by two central HVAC systems, seamlessly blending historic character with modern living. The inviting living room showcases gleaming wood floors and beautiful tongue-and-groove ceilings, creating a warm and elegant gathering space. The formal dining room is equally captivating with its wood-plank walls, stunning coffered ceiling, and timeless architectural details that make every meal feel special. Three spacious bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations, with easy access to two full bathrooms and multiple porches that invite the outdoors in. A staircase leads to the 19'x49' attic, where you can glimpse the home's original slate-and-plaster construction-a fascinating reminder of the exceptional building techniques of the early 1900s. The centrally located kitchen has been thoughtfully updated, offering the convenience of modern amenities while remaining true to the home's historic character. Southern living is all about the porches, and this home certainly delivers. Relax on the impressive 40' x 12' front porch while watching the sunset, enjoy morning coffee on the expansive 24-foot screened porch, or unwind on the L-shaped rear porch that wraps around the south and east sides of the home. Every porch offers a unique place to enjoy the gentle coastal breezes. Downstairs is 2120 heated/cooled square feet. Walk upstairs to the attic to find a 19'x49 additional square feet. Plus 840 square feet of covered porches. Situated on a beautifully landscaped 0.42-acre corner lot at Bartlett and W. Weed Streets, the grounds are every bit as impressive as the home itself. Mature live oak trees provide shade over winding garden paths through vibrant azaleas, while lush landscaping, and manicured lawn create an outdoor setting that is both peaceful and picturesque. Watch the resurrection fern come to life after a rain shower. The detached garage was thoughtfully designed to complement the home's historic architecture. Built in 2010 , it features a generous 24' x 32' interior, a high overhead door, and a pedestrian entrance leading directly into the backyard-perfect for vehicles, hobbies, or additional storage. The Sheffield-Gunn House is where the artistry of a bygone era meets the conveniences of modern living. Historic craftsmanship, timeless architecture, central heating and air, updated bathrooms, and a modern kitchen come together to create a truly exceptional property. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a coastal retreat, or a one-of-a-kind historic home, this St. Marys treasure offers an opportunity that rarely comes along.
