About this home
Some homes have a way of making everyone feel welcome, and Heron House is one of them. Built in the 1920s in the Village, this treasured St. Simons cottage was saved from demolition and moved to East Beach in 1999, when it was placed on a foundation, renovated, and enlarged.
While named Heron House, it is affectionately referred to as the "House of Blessings" by many who have stayed or lived here—a reflection of the love, joy, and blessings of the Lord shared under its roof. Nestled among established landscaping on a historic double lot, this happy home invites you to slow down and enjoy island life. Across from the marsh, it enjoys natural views and opportunities to watch coastal birds and wildlife.
Gather over morning coffee on the breezy screened porch, where the leafy surroundings feel like a private treehouse, or spend an evening together by the living room fireplace. The welcoming dining area and kitchen with an island offer space for meals and conversation. Two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms are on the main living level, while two additional bedrooms and a shared bath upstairs provide room for family and friends.
A second screened porch offers marsh views, and an enclosed outdoor shower welcomes you home after a day at the beach. Generous parking includes alley access along one side leading to covered parking beneath the house and guest parking in front of house. The spacious, fenced side yard offers room to relax and play, with potential for a pool, subject to applicable approvals.
A survey, elevation certificate and pool estimates are available. Ideally situated by the beautifully restored Coast Guard Station and the East Beach entrance, Heron House puts beach days and island history close to your doorstep. A rental in its earlier years and a full-time residence since approximately 2010, this special gathering place is ready to welcome its next owners and the memories they will make.
The property's historic double-lot configuration may permit restoration into two separate lots.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 4316 1st Street, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1924 (102 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
- Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with your insurer whether flood insurance is required.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Glynn County; age of roof and any prior claims affect the premium.
- Listed living area is 2,288 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $16,275/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; confirm exemptions with the county tax assessor.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.
