5716 Porcher Dr. $549,000

This attractive white coastal cottage sits nestled between live oaks, only steps away from the ocean. Originally built in 1936, this home has received praise as a historic gem and dream house by local features such as Grand Strand Magazine and the Chapin Home Tour. The home's historic character begins with the original hand-carved solid wood door entrance. The rustic charm continues in the newly-renovated kitchen, which has Thermadore appliances, including a 6 burner gas range and a built-in refrigerator. The kitchen cabinets are customized to conceal the appliances in the wall. Natural quartz countertops accentuate green subway tile to create a quaint, homey atmosphere. The dining room maintains its original charm with exposed beams, hand-carved wainscoting and a hand-painted crystal chandelier that together create a beautiful space for entertaining. From there, you enter into the family room with vaulted ceilings and wood floors that opens up to an amazing brick courtyard so private that you can enjoy a hot shower or bath outside. The office between the main house and the family room is a sunroom with a screened-in porch attached. Upstairs you will find the master and two additional guestrooms. The master suite fills half of the second floor has a walk-in closet and opens up to another beautiful screened-in porch, from which you can catch glimpses of the ocean through the branches of live oaks. Located on Cabana Row, this one of a kind beach house is a rare find!
