Description
Located in the heart of the Historic District on Officers Row, this stunning Sullivan's Island home blends timeless charm with modern comfort. Built in 1900 by the Army Corps of Engineers, this grand residence sits on a peaceful, oak tree-lined street just a few blocks from the beach. It features 12 pressed tin ceilings, beautiful Heart Pine floors throughout, and two fireplaces—both relined with gas logs.
Wraparound porches span over 2,000 square feet, plus a 300-square-foot screened porch, perfect for enjoying the island breeze. Historic details include original moldings, pocket doors, glass transoms, and wrap shutters. The impressive foyer features an antique elevator, adding to the home's unique character.
Supplements: A butler's pantry leads to an updated kitchen, while the formal sitting and dining rooms provide great entertaining space. A cozy den completes the first floor. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a large walk-in closet, along with three additional bedrooms offering plenty of room for family or guests. The beautifully landscaped yard is meticulously maintained, and a two-car garage provides easy access from the rear alley on Poe Avenue. Tucked away in a serene setting yet close to the beach, this rare piece of Sullivan's Island history is full of charm and ready to be enjoyed!
