Sullivan's Island Magazine Spring/Summer 2019

22 www.SullivansIslandMagazine.com | www.SullivansIslandHomes.com Historic Island Property 2320 Middle St. F or many, island living is a dream. Some prefer the solitude of leisurely strolls on the beach, watching dolphins and collecting sand dollars. Others enjoy kiteboarding, tennis, sunbathing and meeting friends for drinks. Sullivan’s Island offers all these activities and more. In short, it’s a glorious place to live. Sullivan’s Island resident and Cassina Group founding partner, Jimmy Dye, has been selling residential real estate in Charleston and the islands for almost 20 years. He said, “I love what I do.” Specializing in historic and waterfront properties, he helps clients transform dreams into reality. Not only does he shepherd real estate transactions, he also connects his clients with architects, builders, lenders and landscape professionals. Dye’s listing at 2320 Middle St. is a historic house referred to as the Von Dohlen-Lauriat House, circa 1900, on what is a .5-acre, street-to-street, corner lot. “This is an interesting house that has stayed the same in shape and form,” he said. According to Dye there aren’t many solid, original Sullivan’s Island beach houses left. He suggested that the property would be perfect for a buyer interested in the preservation or restoration of a historic residence. Located just 2 blocks from the beach, 2320 Middle St. includes a main house, a guest cottage and a shed, along with ample area for parking and room to create a spectacular garden or an expanded outdoor entertainment area. The large rectangular main house features a full front porch and a side-gabled roof with three dormers. Within 3,164 square feet of living space, this property offers multiple fireplaces, high bead board ceilings and heart pine floors. The first floor of the house contains a central kitchen and a separate dining room with doors that lead to the front porch and to each of the two downstairs living rooms. Two By Frances J. Pearce bedrooms with en suite baths are also located on the first floor. One of these bedrooms has a walk-in closet, and the other has a connected study. The upstairs can be entered via outside stairs. It contains a living room, bedroom, bath and kitchenette. The guest cottage, which might have once served as a cobbler’s shop, features a screened porch, living room, bedroom, bath and kitchenette. Dye said the current owners bought the property not long after Hurricane Hugo and have been there ever since. He noted that it’s just a short walk to island restaurants and businesses – close enough to get the benefit yet far enough to avoid the noise and traffic. Additionally, 2320 Middle St. is only half a mile from Sullivan’s Island Elementary School and Poe Library and a quick drive to any of the island’s churches. The Cassina Group is a boutique firm that employs full-time, experienced agents. “We’ve created a great culture within the company,” Dye said. “It’s a place where agents help each other and help clients achieve their dreams.” To learn more about 2320 Middle St. and other available properties, visit www.JimmyDye.com or call Jimmy Dye directly at 843-452-6482.
