This quintessential Sullivans Island cottage is nestled into a pristine backdrop of subtropical vegetation, palm trees, and ancient Live Oaks. Shady Rest, built c.1920 has a rich history of bringing families together for happy memories at the beach, & this home is ready for a new family to come & make it their own. The 1/2 acre lot sits on very high ground, only a block from beach, the lighthouse, & restaurant district. With ultimate privacy, the home sits on quiet section of the street next to Battery Gadsden- with its wide green buffer beyond the lot line where historic earthen fortifications rest and no one will ever build. The back yard is an oasis with a hardscaped pool and fire pit, and is the perfect setting for dining al fresco or enjoying a glass of wine under cover of the deep screened-in porch.
The home has been updated through the years with modern amenities and a spacious kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances. At the same time, it retains many architectural features original to the home including the hardwood floors, soaring 12ft ceilings, expansive heart-pine screened porch, and the double-hung French doors.
While the sellers have great memories here and hope the future buyer will see the beauty of the property for what it is, it is also important to note that the home has no historical protections - which means major modifications / renovations can be expedited and painless.
