5507 Oglethorpe Dr #464, Sea Island, GA, 31561
About This Home
Blending classic southern architecture with extraordinary craftsmanship, Cottage 464 offers a rare opportunity to own one of the largest and highest lots on Sea Island. Encompassing nearly 8,000 square feet of elegance and livability, the home offers gracious proportions and timeless design elements throughout. Set on nearly an acre of lush landscaping and at one of the island's highest elevations, the property offers exceptional privacy and presence. With only two owners since 1989, Cottage 464 has been the setting for many special family gatherings and memories. Custom built by local developer Lucian Whittle as his final home, it was designed by renowned architect Lamar Webb and inspired by historic Beauvoir in Mississippi. Every detail of the construction from the expansive rooms, soaring ceilings, deep custom moldings, extensive built-ins, tremendous amount of storage space and traditional burnt tabby walls was overseen by both men at the height of their creativity and expertise. An elevator and central vacuum system add modem convenience, while nearly every room features custom cabinetry and bookcases, and all closets include thoughtfully designed storage systems. A tabby-walled courtyard complete with fairy lights and gas grill creates an inviting setting for relaxed gatherings. Cottage 464 also offers exceptional amenities for outdoor enthusiasts including boat storage and built-in storage for fishing poles and tackle in the three-car garage, a separate fish-cooking area with sink just off the main kitchen and a tabby-walled outdoor fish cleaning station that doubles as a dog wash. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with mature trees and specimen plantings, including rare matching Lady Palms framing the front and back driveway entrances. A dedicated well services the irrigation system and landscape lighting enhances both the front and rear gardens. This exceptional home in its tranquil setting was truly designed for entertaining and gracious living.
