THE HERMITAGE. on the National Register of Historic Places, an extraordinary 19th century home in classic condition, built in 1849, it is the oldest in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. In 1990 this beauty, known as the The Hermitage, home of Alice Flagg, was moved from a nearby saltwater creekfront neighborhood to its present location less than a half mile away, nestled in alomst four acres, under century's old moss draped Live Oaks and wrapped around the front by a well cared for (1 +/- acre) spring-fed freshwater pond stocked with bass and bream. Sit on or swim from the dock. Front porch, walkway and chimney brick is known to be from ships ballest coming from England. Each brick was carfully moved in 1990, with the house. This esquisite home is gracious in room sizes, with large cased openings and rooms ideal for entertaining. Enter the large foyer of 22 x 13 feet and set your sights on a beatuful spiral staircase. A special upstairs bedroom was Alice's. Google "Alice Flagg and the Hermitage" to learn her story if you don't know it. An Alice Portrait and a purse of hers will convey with this home. The photos are of the furnished home, as it will sell unfurnished. So you'll have a great time looking for the right furnishings for this oh so special home. Lastly, please know all showings must be accompanied by a "Proof of Funds Letter". PS The home and moss-draped Oak front lawn would make a spectacular wedding venue. We cannot mention figures here, but just imagine the income from that!
