With a setting overlooking Winyah Bay (& including the large waterfront acreage across the street) the home is adjacent to East Bay Park & downtown boat landing with access to the Intercoastal Waterway & the Atlantic ocean. This beautiful home has just undergone an extensive renovation. Custom details abound throughout from Palmetto Stone over the brick entrances, Italian tiles in the backyard kitchen, the carved palmetto & crescent moon chair rail(no longer made due to expense), the SC seal brass medallions adorning the fireplaces and Tradd Street Charleston Gas lights throughout. As you walk through the mahogany front door, elegant formal living and dining rooms complete with wainscotting lead to the large family room and kitchen featuring a 60″ Viking commercial oven with hood, Kohler sink with built in steamer, Kohler bar sink on large island, Viking electric oven, warming drawers, trash compactor, 48″ Viking refrigerator and Fisher Pactel built in dishwasher ‘drawers’.

On the ground level, you will find a garage that has openings on both ends, bottom foyer entry, 2nd downstairs laundry, an extra large bathroom for pool and patio dinner guests, and more storage. The backyard oasis includes pool with a waterfall, gazebo and expansive outdoor kitchen for entertaining al fresco. Pool and hot tub can be heated if purchaser desires to add heater. Home also features commercial caterpillar generator in case of power outages, inside and outside speakers and sprinkler system. Plantation shutters and hurricane shutters stay with home. Because Georgetown is a waterfront town , the streets around the home have intermittent tidal flooding . HOWEVER, THE HOME HAS NOT FLOODED. The waterfront lot directly across from the home on Winyah Bay, which is included in the sale, is the site of the old ferry that traveled to Waverly Mills to transport travelers to Pawleys Island. Owners have inquired to the Corp.of Engineers and putting your own boat dock on Winyah Bay should be permissible. Historic remnants of the pier are still visible. Downtown Georgetown’s shopping, restaurants and Harborwalk are just blocks away, the beaches of Pawleys Island 12 miles, Myrtle Beach 30 miles and Charleston 60 miles to the south. Video has been provided with listing to showcase this fine home.
