This Williamsburg style house boasts an enviable frontage which is offset by many beautiful old live oaks amid a sprawling landscape which is nestled in the back close to a lovely pond on the third tee-box at Sea Palms’ championship golf course. Brick walkways lead to two front porches which lend a touch of the hospitable past to this charming home. This traditional style home also features many historic building treasures such as being custom-built with care with old growth timbers from the unusually large off ground construction to the sturdy roof. Historic long leaf hardwood floors. The fireplace was built with old brick and boasts double flues, and a finely built chimney and hearth which is six feet in length, perfect for a yule log or simply to enjoy on chilly nights. The living area, kitchen and hall are constructed with rare long-leaf pine floors in mint condition. There are windows and doors across the entire expanse to afford the incredible views and open to the right side of the house to an newly constructed deck and a cozy screened-in porch for those peaceful evenings when cicadas and tree frogs serenade you and your loved ones.
