From the original wood floors and ceilings to the refurbished tongue-and-groove paneling, this home has been lovingly curated with period-appropriate decor, fixtures, doors, and lighting.

The grounds are beautifully landscaped with mature, lush greenery that enhances the peaceful, coastal ambiance. Enjoy the gorgeous backyard Oasis all year. Timeless Craftsmanship Meets Modern Comfort at 309 Sunset Trail Originally constructed in 1940 and lovingly reimagined by the current owners beginning in 2019, this extraordinary home is a masterclass in thoughtful renovation. Blending period charm with modern efficiency, every detail has been carefully considered and beautifully executed. Extensive Structural and Exterior Upgrades Foundation: Professionally restored to eliminate all floor buckles and swells, ensuring lasting stability. Roof: Completely replaced with a standing seam metal roof, enhanced by a polymer insulation barrier for exceptional energy efficiency. Hurricane tie-downs were installed during construction for added structural security. Siding: Outdated asbestos siding was responsibly removed and replaced with durable Hardi Plank. Insulation: The attic is fully spray-foamed and sealed, supported by a dehumidifier that maintains ideal climate conditions year-round. Exterior walls and interior bedroom walls are insulated, the latter offering soundproofing between rooms. Windows & Doors: All exterior windows and doors were replaced. The showpiece custom front door features inlaid stained glass crafted by a Greenville, SC artisan. Modern Systems & Appliances All HVAC systems and a tankless water heater were installed in 2020. The kitchen boasts all new appliances, including a second dishwasher located in the butler’s pantry. The front porch features custom cedar trim, a matching metal roof, and elegant natural gas lanterns. Salvaged Style with Historic Soul Much of the home's character comes from hand-selected vintage materials sourced from salvage shops across the Carolinas. These unique elements preserve the home's original charm while delivering modern-day functionality: Reclaimed Woodwork: Original tongue-and-groove pine paneling from the home was cleaned and reversed to create stunning shiplap walls throughout the stairwell Enjoy a prime Myrtle Beach location with easy access to Hwy 501, 707, 544, 17 Business & Bypass, 31, 22, and 9, putting you near everything the Grand Strand has to offer—including shopping, dining, golf, medical facilities, Market Common, Broadway at the Beach, Brookgreen Gardens, the Intracoastal Waterway, and, of course, the pristine white sand beaches of the Carolina coast.
