Southern Hospitality

Of course Tour Day would not be complete without the always spectacular demonstration of Southern hospitality by the women of the church in the Parish Hall. Here you’ll find a bountiful spread of lite bites, including everybody’s favorite pimento cheese sandwiches and other treats, often made with recipes from the Christ Church Cookbook The volunteers who make these delightful delicacies and those who keep the tables replenished are some of the unsung heroes of the tour. Music from talented pianists will also fill the Parish Hall, making it a welcome break or conclusion to the tour. And to make absolutely certain that no patrons will go hungry, there will also be food trucks will be on site. Killer Roast Beef & Shrimp and the Porch Cluck Truck will offer guests the opportunity to enjoy a full meal.

The Tour of Homes is a full day experience designed to showcase stunning homes and maximize enjoyment for tour patrons, with the rewarding benefit of all proceeds going directly to charities in our community that support women and children.

Some of the community organizations and programs have supported include CASA Glynn, CIA Sports Club, Faithful Love, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Golden Isles Youth Orchestra, Grace

House of Brunswick, Hope 312 Collective, Hospice of the Golden Isles, House of Hope, MorningStar Children & Family Services, Operation Bed Spread, SOAR, and STAR Foundation. Donations are the foundation of the church’s effort and they can always use additional support. Benefactor opportunities are available and more information can be found on the Tour of Homes electronic ticketing website that is detailed at christchurchtourofhomes.org.

The English manor-influenced estate nestled in a corner lot on Sea Island Drive is the picture of contemporary, breezy coastal living. Blending traditional design with a modern aesthetic, a two-story foyer and hallway crafted with artisanal millwork lead to an expansive great room with steel windows overlooking the private backyard oasis. A stone fireplace anchors multiple seating areas open to the beautifully appointed warm gray chef’s kitchen with an oversized natural stone island ideal for gathering friends and family. A convenient scullery and laundry mudroom beyond facilitates easy entertaining and organized beachside living. Natural cypress beams add warmth and frame the all-white interiors, which act as a blank canvas to display the carefully selected art, furniture, organic fibers, and textures found throughout the home. A tranquil master suite wing features soaring ceilings accented by an iron canopied bed and a lovely garden view. A breakfast room, formal dining room, and office/music room complete the south side of the first floor. Upstairs, natural light filters past mature live oak trees through steel windows and gables into the four en suite bedrooms, with one featuring a sunny private terrace perfect for lounging above the secluded garden. A comfortable media room with sectional seating and surfing accents completes the second floor. The private walled garden offers all the amenities needed for year-round outdoor living: a vaulted screened-in porch with fireplace, covered terrace, pool with jacuzzi, and picturesque separate loggia open on four sides with pool bath.
