499 W Conyers St, Saint Marys, GA, 31558

Nestled beneath the sweeping branches of grand live oaks, just a stroll away from St. Marys' historic waterfront, lies The Blue Bird Cottage-a masterwork of luxury and charm crafted by renowned Terry Stover Construction. This home is more than just beautifully built; it's an invitation to savor life's finer moments. As you pull into the driveway, the handcrafted double entry doors, adorned with custom etching of egrets, beckon with a quiet elegance. Only the most discerning eye would catch the 24" metal roof overhang and seamless gutters, subtly protecting the home's foundation, and the front patio's retractable screen, where you can enjoy the gentle sea breeze, free from the nuisance of insects and shielded from prying eyes. Inside, the 10-foot ceilings with 8-foot doors and an open, split floor plan immediately evoke a sense of spaciousness. Antique pine floors, aged over two centuries, lend a rich warmth underfoot, inviting you to explore each carefully considered space. Tall 5-foot casement windows frame the cottage's namesake blue birds and blooming flowers, allowing sunlight and the soft scent of garden blossoms to fill the rooms with a soothing ambiance. Step out to the lani, an 11x17 oasis shaded by towering live oaks bordered by vibrant azaleas. Here, nature's beauty is yours to enjoy uninterrupted, as the adjacent lot behind the cottage remains a landlocked sanctuary. In the kitchen, craftsmanship shines in the bespoke cabinetry, with bookmatched doors and soft-close features that blend elegance and functionality. The island is 8-foot by 4-foot with a dolomite counter is a functional centerpiece with abundant storage beneath. The bedrooms are spacious with luxury bathrooms, large soaking tubs with rain shower heads as well as large closets. The musician and the light sleeper alike will appreciate the soundproofed guest room with double batten insulation. Even the 600 sqft. garage receives the same thoughtful touch, with commercial-grade attic access, a 1.5-ton mini-split for cooling and heating comfort, soaring 11-foot ceilings, and 200 amp service with 20 amp breakers for powering larger accessories. Every detail of The Blue Bird Cottage has been lovingly curated to deliver a lifestyle that is at once refined and warmly welcoming-a place where sophistication meets serene, Southern grace.
