1301 Hillside Drive N, North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582

Quintessential Southern charm and history in walking distance of Ocean Drive's Main Street. This majestic, custom-built 4 BR, 4 BA corner lot home in Tilghman Estates is modeled after the historic Hopsewee Plantation in Georgetown County, and it was remodeled in 2008. Discover the home's hidden nook that offers tranquil views of the ocean; blueprints to convert this space into a rooftop deck area available. Other features include an elevator and a conveying golf cart, perfect for quick trips to the beach, and beach access is only a block away! The highlight of the home is the grand staircase and leaded, stained-glass window, created in the early 1900's by a local Little River artist whose work also appears in local churches, The Parson's Table restaurant, and throughout many famous Southern buildings and homes. From the home's screened and open porches (refurbished in 2017 with 30-year-warranty Duxxbak decking), enjoy a glass of sweet tea, a good book, and the impeccable landscaping, including azaleas, jonquils, amaryllis, camellias, a Meyers lemon tree, and a fig and a loquat tree that both produce delicious fruit every year. The gourmet kitchen provides an island, pantry, granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. The inverted floor plan offers a dining area, bedroom (and en-suite bathroom), and a grand room with crown moldings, polished hardwood floors, built-in bookshelves, a fireplace, and warm natural light. On the lower level, the foyer provides access to three more bedrooms. In addition to the lovely features of this ''Grand Dame'' home, its central location gives you plenty of entertainment options that make coastal Carolina such a wonderful place to live.
