The home itself also has an interesting history, as it originally belonged to famed 20th century artist Maxfield Parrish’s. This home was his secluded winter retreat on St. Simons Island. Maxfield Parrish was born in Philadelphia and developed many innovative techniques in his artwork and is known for luminous colors. Throughout his career, he painted, illustrated children’s books and was commissioned by magazines and advertisers. His most famous painting, Daybreak, sold in 2006 for $7.6 million. In the early 1900s, Maxfield and his wife Lydia took breaks from the Pennsylvania winter at their St. Simons Island retreat.
