A marsh-front SC home is selling for $5.5M in this desirable historic area near Charleston

A marsh-front house in the historic Old Village of Mount Pleasant is for sale with an asking price of $5.5 million.

Located at 212 Live Oak Drive on 0.4 acres, the house was built in 1927.

It has been renovated and expanded to create a primary bedroom suite with a soaking tub and large walk-in shower. The view from the bedroom is of the marsh.

The house has five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and views of the Ravenel Bridge and Shem Creek.

The Old Village is located across the Cooper River from downtown Charleston and was established in the early 1700s as a summer resort for planters of Christ Church Parish. It retains much of its historic charm.

The first house built, the Hibben-McIver House built in 1759 still stands at 111 Hibben St.

The house of Live Oak features white oak flooring, designer lighting, custom millwork, and marble finishes throughout.

The kitchen and open living area overlook the marsh.

The house has 3,456 square feet plus several patios, including a porch that extends across the front framed by moss-draped live oaks.

The listing agent is Kristen Dolberg of The Boulevard Company.

The Old Village has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973. It covers 30 blocks bounded by the Charleston Harbor (west), Shem Creek (north), Royal Avenue (east), and McCants Drive (south).

The district has varied examples of historic architecture — large houses to small and remains a quiet residential neighborhood surrounded by the booming Mount Pleasant, South Carolina’s fourth largest municipality with 90,000 people.

Streets are lined with shade trees and wooded poles are used for electricity and cable.
