The Louis Whilden House (circa 1862)--a beautifully maintained, carefully restored French Huguenot cottage--is one of the oldest residential structures in historic McClellanville that offers both modern convenience and the quintessential Lowcountry experience. Situated on almost an acre of land, the National Historic Register home overlooks century-old live oaks and Jeremy Creek. The short deepwater dock recently rebuilt with power and water connections is just minutes away from the Intracoastal Waterway providing easy access to Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge and some of the East Coast's best inshore fishing, shrimping and oystering. Among the many historic features are the original - and rare--cypress hardwood floors which balance the fresh paint, high ceilings, andmodern appliances. Original beadboard accents the upstairs bedroom and living room. Antique windows give nearly every room in the house a creek view, while the spacious 350 square-foot screened-in porch provides a quiet spot to relax, watch the shrimp boats go by and take in the sea breeze. Two brick fireplaces- in the master bedroom and in the living room - can heat the entire house in the colder months. The contemporary kitchen features Carrera marble countertops, a full-size refrigerator and freezer, a six-burner Viking stove with griddle, and dual-basin farmhouse sink. The two full bathrooms have tiled showers and a Rinnai tank providing endless hot water. There are currently two queen beds set in the second bedroom, allowing this home to sleep eight. The recently insulated upstairs provides additional comfort and efficiency, making it a cozy retreat year-round. The property is accessed through an electric security gate and features a crushed limestone driveway, beautifully landscaped grounds with palmettos, magnolias, and evergreen shrubs. Two historic outbuildings formerly a kitchen and doctor's office now serve as powered and watered equipment sheds, adding functionality while preserving their historic significance. Enjoy the peaceful rural resort town of McClellanville and being in walking distance to fresh local seafood spots such as TW Grahams, Livingston's Bulls Bay Seafood & Carolina Seafood. Conveniently located just 45 minutes from Mount Pleasant and an hour from Charleston.
