Historic “I” House

Enjoy coastal Carolina life to the fullest in this Traditional American “I” house featuring breezy porches, a beautiful interior, and a cultivated, diverse garden!

This traditional American ”I” house features 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, an outside shower, approximately 1205 sq. ft. of living space, and 64 linear ft. of porches, as well as a detached garage/shop. The house has original bead-board walls and ceilings, exceptional trim, original 3-over-1 windows and doors, and Southern yellow pine floors. The 3 porches are perfect for coffee on warm spring mornings and enjoyment of the bay breezes and magnificent sunsets on quiet summer evenings. The marsh in front of the property is protected by a conservation easement. The elevated garage/workshop (24×28) with 2nd-floor storage was built in 2016. Included are two adjoining lots of 63 acres, with a well and grandfathered septic system.

The current owners have loved and enjoyed this property for years and have planted many trees, creating a bird-watchers paradise. There are live oaks, cedars, bald cypress, sweet bays, bayberry, figs, magnolia, a stunning pindo palm, oleander, and persimmon trees, as well as flowerbeds and a raised-bed organic vegetable garden.
