Achieve the rare perfecta of living right next to two bodies of water: a deepwater coastal river out back plus a private community lake out front. It’s nothing but the good life in this beautiful, spacious home on sizable .59-acre lot along quiet road in Brunswick’s upscale Royal Oaks neighborhood. Two-story, 4-bedroom, 4½-bath brick structure is a slice of paradise, serving up stunning, panoramic vistas of the Little Satilla River and the rich, seemingly boundless marshland that defines the Golden Isles. From your private dock (at the end of your LED-lighted, 600-foot-long pier), it’s less than a 30-minute boat cruise to the beaches on Jekyll Island and the prolific Atlantic waters. This dock location is always accommodating, with a river depth of at least 13 feet at low tide true deepwater that is not always the case along the coast. The pier’s 2 covered dock houses include a boat lift rated at 12,000 lbs. and pre-cabled for heavier load. There’s also an open-air, floating dock in the mix. This is great spot on its own for fishing and crabbing, and dock is outfitted with fish-cleaning station and water supply. Additionally, just a mile downriver sits community marina with boat hoist, overnight docking, long- term boat storage, and picnic lawn. It’s a popular site for neighborhood events such as cookouts, Christmas parties, and fishing tourneys. Meanwhile, right across street from residence sits 44-acre, freshwater Lake George, all stocked with brim and bass for the angler-in-residence. Grill your catch of the day in the well-equipped summer kitchen on your enormous, covered back porch, which is made of brick and stone and accented by massive arches along its 65-foot width. Treat family and friends to refreshments out by your heated saltwater pool and spa (check out eye- catching marlin mosaic at bottom of pool!) or at the fire pit or big gathering gazebo farther out in expansive backyard. Your surround sound systems can fill the air inside and out here, and there are plenty more ways to entertain, whether in the large formal dining room, the cozy media room just across the grand foyer, or the family room with fireplace, wet bar and side terrace. The good-sized gourmet kitchen has both a breakfast bar and an adjoining breakfast area for handling the morning rush or simply socializing or breezily taking in the day. Overall, this relatively new, custom-built home (constructed 2001) has more than 4,000 square feet of well-designed, super restful and practical living space. Gorgeous oak flooring flows from one room to the next, while open-concept kitchen is tiled. Of the four bedrooms upstairs, two share Jack & Jill bathroom, while the other two boast en suite baths. Master bedroom is virtually a domain unto itself, with fireplace, entertainment center, interior office/den, voluminous walk-in closet, and extra-roomy bath that includes glass-enclosed shower (with double shower heads), jetted tub, double vanity, and private toilet area. Fourth bedroom (currently a guest room) leads to separate, loft-like alcove overlooking foyer a flexible bonus space that could serve as study, gym, craft room, play area, extra guest quarters, etc. Master and guest BRs also open out to giant second-story veranda offering yet another spectacular southern view encompassing backyard pool, the vast marsh, and the meandering river. At night, the neighborhood’s low light pollution is ideal for stargazing. Entire home is solar-powered with built-in backup systems (local utility plus on-site generator). All three gas fireplaces can be converted to wood-burning. Garage holds 3 vehicles plus all your fishing gear. Mudroom off back porch has full bath with shower. For enjoying the coastal lifestyle, there’s no better combination of comfortable, modern interior, scenic natural landscape, and the lure of the water. Whether you’re a freshwater or saltwater fanatic, this maritime dream house has you covered
