Just 1 block from the beach in the highly desirable Tilghman Estates section of North Myrtle Beach, this home is a remarkably preserved 1968 Mid-Century Modern (MCM) home that captures the architectural character of its era while offering plenty of space and land…all just steps from the Beach. No HOA or HOA fees! Built and owned by the same family since 1968, this 4,943 heated sqft home has 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths and sits on approx .73 acres shaded by mature live oak trees. The home's solid construction is highlighted by exposed wood beams that span the width of the house from balcony to balcony, continue through the vaulted 2nd-floor ceiling, and the length of the center of the home. Home features original MCM lighting fixtures and 9 sets of floor-to-ceiling glass sliders with built-in retractable hurricane shutters, and custom wall paneling from Weyerhaeuser. Home comes primarily furnished, with remaining furniture negotiable. Homes entry begins with a covered front porch and Foyer with 2 closets and access to the 2 car garage. On the 1st floor, you have a spacious living room/recreation room, 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and laundry room. The beautiful brick wood-burning fireplace is a focal point of the combined living/recreation room as well as 2 sets of 3-panel glass sliders opening toward the patio and front yard. A pool table and card/game table add to the room's recreational appeal. One bedroom includes a ceiling fan, walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom with shower, while the other bedroom has a ceiling fan and glass slider access to the front patio and yard. A half bath, laundry room with side-by-side washer and dryer, laundry sink, and refrigerator complete this level. There are 2 sets of stairs on either end of the house to upstairs. On the 2nd level, you will find 4 additional bedrooms (including the primary suite), 3 full bathrooms, family room, dining room and kitchen. The family room and dining room form an impressive gathering space beneath dramatic vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams. Another brick wood-burning fireplace anchors the room, while 2 sets of 3-panel floor-to-ceiling glass sliders open onto the covered front balcony, which stretches the entire front of the house. The original MCM chandelier remains over the dining table. The eat-in kitchen combines vintage character while featuring abundant cabinetry and countertops, breakfast bar, double-basin sink, double wall ovens, and walk-in pantry. And yes, the original avocado-green cabinets and most appliances remain, complemented by a stainless steel refrigerator and GE Profile dishwasher. The large primary bedroom suite features a 3-panel glass slider opening to the covered front balcony, where there is room for seating.
