A Historic Soul, Reimagined.Originally constructed in 1893 and reborn in 2015 through an acclaimed collaboration between architect Heather Wilson, design firm Basic Projects by Kate Towill, and builder Sammy Rhodes -- 2508 Myrtle Avenue is a masterwork of coastal refinement on one of the most coveted addresses on Sullivans. Situated on a lush, private half-acre maritime forest lot on the island's quietest, most deeply residential streets, this elevated 3,692 sq ft home is one of the island's most distinctive offerings.A "beautiful white blank canvas" transformed into a layered sanctuary -- rich textures, custom-sourced fabrics, vintage finds from Morocco to Denmark, and lighting by Urban Electric create a space sophisticated enough for the most discerning collector yet entirely livable for a modern family. Wide heart-pine floors and original wainscoting ground the design in authentic character. Five bedrooms plus bunks, 4½ baths, and a private in-ground pool are wrapped in over 1,300 sq ft of porches and decks, including a 34x10 front porch and 36x12 rear screened porch. The floor plan is as thoughtful as it is functional. Elevated over expansive garage bays and generous storage -- room for boats, golf carts, and everything island life demands -- the primary suite occupies its own private wing, with a site study revealing meaningful opportunity to expand it further. A charming guest suite with custom built-in bunks anchors the main level, with dedicated kids' rooms above. The home's social center is a window-wrapped dining area that draws the outdoors in, while a covered entertaining area below the screened porch flows directly to the pool -- the hallmark of great coastal architecture. Sullivan's Island is less a place than a way of life. Sullivans Fish Camp, Obstinate Daughter, and Home Team BBQ are a short bike ride away, and the town gathers for holiday parades, Fourth of July beach celebrations, and the kind of front-porch neighborliness that feels lifted from another era. Three and a half miles of Atlantic beachfront line the southern edge while Cove Inlet and the Intracoastal Waterway define the north -- two entirely different water experiences from one address. The town boat ramp opens to marsh creeks and tidal estuaries, and late afternoons here belong to the cordgrass, the dolphins, and sunsets over the Ravenel Bridge that rank among the finest on the East Coast. Homes of this pedigree -- architect, designer, builder -- rarely become available on Sullivan's Island. This is not simply a house. It is a legacy property.

ABOUT THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY SC

The intracoastal waterway of the United States east coast is a 3,000-mile in-land waterway that runs North from Boston Mass., down the entire eastern coastal rivers, wetlands, bays, & inlets all the way southward along the Atlantic Seaboard to the southern tip of Florida, then around the gulf of Mexico to Brownsville Texas. 

What you may not know is this was man-made and man-conceived (well partially). In 1808 the United States proposed the ICW (aka intercoastal waterway [incorrect]), to create natural coastal and inland which allows for a waterborne circumnavigation of the eastern continental United States, using minimal ocean travel. This would provide a better supply line for coastal trading and travel for the development of a growing new nation. 

While much of the ICW is natural formed over millennia from rivers, bays, sounds & inlets the United States also helped connect them to facilitate this endeavor of making a safer navigable trade route and thus the Intracoastal Waterway was born. 

When purchasing property on any coastal wetland, marsh, or water system in South Carolina you must be very prudent about understanding the very real risk of flooding. As this is an ever-present concern that comes with living in a flood plain but using knowledgable local real estate professionals can help you mitigate the risks. 

Homes with raised foundations built on either concrete columns or pilings are the norm and should always be your first option if you’re considering a home that is waterfront, creekfront, riverfront, or on the intercoastal (ICW). That will be your first line of defense and keep your flood insurance to a minimum. Unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do about the risk of a hurricane the heavy winds that come from it, but if your house is raised you are likely good to go if flooding occurs.
