302 8th Ave. N, North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582

Property Description

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 at the beach. No HOA or HOA fees! Built and owned by the same family since 1968, this 4,943 heated sqft home sits on approx .73 acres shaded by mature live oak trees. The home's solid construction is apparent, with exposed wood panels encasing steel 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. Original MCM lighting fixtures further reinforce the home's architectural authenticity. The 1st level features a brick exterior, while the 2nd level is clad in wood board-and-batten siding. Roof was installed 2011. 9 floor-to-ceiling glass sliders provide extensive natural light and each includes built-in retractable hurricane shutters. Original owners sent 94 sheets of wood to Weyerhaeuser for the custom paneling. The result is a distinctive combination of wood, glass, brick, steel, and natural light that is rare along the Grand Strand. Home comes primarily furnished, with remaining furniture negotiable. Home’s entry begins with a covered front porch and foyer with 2 closets and the main 2nd floor staircase. Spacious living/recreation room showcases the home's brick wood-burning fireplace and 2 sets of 3-panel glass sliders opening toward the patio and front yard. A pool table adds to the room's recreational appeal. Bedroom 1 includes a ceiling fan, walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom with shower, while bedroom 2 offers 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. Upstairs, the family room and dining room form an impressive gathering space beneath dramatic vaulted ceilings with exposed wood-clad steel 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 area. 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 primary suite (3rd BR) measures features a 3-panel glass slider opening to the covered front balcony, where there is room for seating. The suite also includes a walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom with double sinks, shower, and vanity. Bedrooms 4 and 5 each have 3-panel glass sliders, while bedroom 6 has its own private side balcony. The 3rd bathroom features a tub/shower combination, and a Jack-and-Jill 4th bathroom connects bedrooms 5 and 6 with double sinks and a tiled shower. Outside, the property feels remarkably private for a home this close to the beach. Outdoor boasts mature live oaks, Bass Pond, covered front porch, 2 enclosed showers with changing rooms, and a 2-car, back-load attached garage. 3 HVAC systems: Trane unit (Oct 2025) for downstairs, Carrier (~2016) for 1/2 upstairs, & 3rd unit for other 1/2. 2 water heaters. The approx. 0.73-acre property could potentially be subdivided, depending on zoning and restrictions, with another homesite or with the existing structure potentially replaced with two new homes (verification and approval by appropriate authorities required). Homes of this architectural pedigree, land size, proximity to the beach, are rare. Whether you appreciate Mid-Century Modern design, want a unique beach home, or see the potential in this exceptional homesite, come experience this rare piece of North Myrtle Beach history firsthand!
