951 Middle Street, Sullivans Island, SC 29482 (MLS# 1208967)

Supplements: rounds and marble slab showers. You will find much to beguile those drawn to stylish design executed well. The extra-spacious Master Suite (with "civilized" his and hers baths in Italian marbles, heart pine floors, French oak walls in his) enjoys the convenience of a Sitting Room while her bath on the view has a carpeted dressing area, multiple cabinets, large walk-in closet, and a mini office. Collectively, the Master Suite spaces compose the "western wing," privacy assured by the generous Living Room and open gourmet Kitchen/Dining areas separating them from the home's other 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, laundry, etc. One notable dividend from careful restorations: the Living Room, Master Suite, Den, Kitchen/Dining area, and two of the other four bedrooms all (with the porch of course!) offer ocean views. A space puzzle solution pulled off deftly, aided by an extra-wide oceanfront homesite (128'). A spacious attic with cedar closet and 3 storage rooms in the detached garage (with "wine cave") solve storage needs. Varied outdoor spaces feature epe decking, heated 20' x 40' pool, palms-shaded gazebo, garden areas, and your boardwalk to quickly slip but 50' to a secluded beach for a swim. Pool parties, patio lunches, and cookouts just over the wild flowered dune are perfect here for family and friends. This charming retreat, including a lovely Guest Cottage, last appeared on the market 28 years ago. Shaded by five enormous live oaks with pines, palms, fig, myrtles, and magnolias, this picturesque home will be available but a short time. And then it will be gone againfor generations. Why? Because this character-filled home in the residential (ultra-quiet) quadrant of Sullivans is at the pinnacle of many beauties we have seen. It can rival or best with spirit and panache, not to mention location, any in memory. For some fortunate family, it soon will be a long, loving destination. It will behome.
