Overview
Don't miss the extremely rare opportunity to own a true Pawleys Island icon, The Pawley House. Steeped in history, as far back as pre 1800's, and considered to be one of the first, if not the first, summer residence on Pawleys Island, this home still reflects its true historic charm and character. The dining and living rooms remain authentic to the original structure, along with the porches, stair well and upper bedrooms. The home was moved from the main inland and barged across the creek under the direction and supervision of homeowner Joseph Blythe Alston. Section by section, and each board numbered, the house was carefully placed on the land that was once owned by SC Governor R.F.W. Alston. The original ballast bricks were used for the pilings and fireplaces. These historic brick the ballast brick used to balance the ships that came to the Colonies from England. Modernizing renovations, began in 1987 to update the home into the current century (to bring the entire house up to county building codes), yet protected the history and character of days gone by. These renovations were completed after Hurricane Hugo. You will notice the wide wooden plank beams and floors, antique brick fireplaces with original mantles, hand feathered faux painted doors, worn stair treds and well used handrails, and the expansive wraparound porches - all will take you back to the cherished Pawleys Island of the past. Modern conveniences have been added, such as, private en-suite baths in the 6 bedrooms, central heating and air, updated kitchen with large island for entertaining, a creek side screen porch for outside dining and an elevator to the main floor. Oceanside of the house you will discover an elevated walkway through the twisted oaks and maritime forest, providing a rare glimpse of the original and native island landscape. The beach side screened 'Necessary"" , with expansive views of the spacious mid-island area of the beach, provides a protected gathering room, along with shower and restroom facilities. On the creek you'll enjoy beautiful sunsets, a crabbing and fishing dock, along with a perfect place to launch your kayak or paddle board. This property offers .88 acres of oceanfront high ground and 1.56 acres of marsh front lowlands. All measurements are approximate, not guaranteed. Buyer is responsible for verification.
