A True North Myrtle Beach Original — “Haven in the Marsh” An iconic North Myrtle Beach residence, located at the corner of 47th Avenue South and Lewis Street in the coveted Windy Hill section, is finally being offered for sale. Set on a double lot spanning just over 2/3 of an acre directly along the marsh, this extraordinary property was featured in the Sun News in 2004 and affectionately dubbed “Haven in the Marsh.” From the moment you enter the circular driveway, you’ll be captivated by the charm, craftsmanship, and history woven into every detail of this one-of-a-kind home. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the marsh, the property reveals something special from every angle. Built as a true architectural time capsule, the home showcases an incredible collection of reclaimed and historic materials, including brick imported from Charleston, tongue-and-groove wood salvaged from an old dairy barn, cedar-shake shingles, cypress support beams, and a heart-pine front door framed by leaded-glass sidelights. Throughout the home, you’ll find approximately 100-year-old wormy chestnut, hemlock, oak, and heart pine incorporated into the cabinetry, walls, ceilings, and flooring. Brick floors, brass chandeliers and sconces, porcelain doorknobs, and the original front-door lock add to the timeless character. Step through the front door and into a foyer that feels like a journey into another era. The formal dining room is truly movie-worthy, featuring a fireplace, glass double doors, and oversized windows that flood the room with natural light while showcasing the spectacular marsh views. The kitchen continues the home's distinctive character with exposed brick walls, natural wood cabinetry, a wood-paneled refrigerator, and a spacious pantry ready for everything from everyday meals to holiday gatherings. A convenient laundry room and half bath are located just off the kitchen, along with additional storage. Double hand-carved wooden doors, framed by a striking brick archway, lead into the impressive living room and game room. Here, exposed wooden beams accent the vaulted ceiling, while a fireplace, oversized wet bar, and expansive picture windows create an unforgettable gathering space. Double doors open onto the brick back patio, seamlessly extending the entertaining space outdoors to the L-shaped inground pool and surrounding patio. The first floor also offers a spacious den, two full bathrooms, and two bedrooms, providing plenty of room for family and guests. Upstairs, the home's extraordinary primary suite awaits. Designed as a private retreat, the suite features a double-sided fireplace, sitting area with built-in wooden shelving perfect for a personal library, a walk-in closet, and two additional closets with built-in shelving. The ensuite bathroom includes a double vanity, walk-in shower, and jetted tub. And then there are the views—truly breathtaking, with the marsh providing a spectacular backdrop from both the bedroom and bathroom. Two additional guest bedrooms complete the second floor. Beyond the home itself, the location is hard to beat. Just a couple of blocks from the beach and only a short golf-cart ride from an array of restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and Barefoot Landing, this property offers the best of coastal living while preserving a sense of privacy and connection to nature. This is more than a home—it is a piece of North Myrtle Beach history. With its extraordinary craftsmanship, reclaimed materials, timeless architecture, expansive marsh-front setting, and unmistakable character, “Haven in the Marsh” is a property that must be experienced in person to truly appreciate. Opportunities to own a home with this much history, character, and land in North Myrtle Beach are exceptionally rare. Come experience this original masterpiece for yourself.
