On one side of a Pawleys Island home for sale sits a vast wood walkway and patio that guides you to the Atlantic Ocean’s sandy beaches and blue waves, inviting you to jump in and swim.

On the other side of the house is a view of the Lowcountry’s wetlands and marshes, which have remained mostly untouched. The scene provides a glimpse of water flowing into Pawleys Inlet, which can be enjoyed while sitting in a rocking chair.

Trees also growing in all directions greet you as you walk toward the house.

For some, this home at 496 Myrtle Ave. on Pawleys Island could be a dream retirement home or serve as a summer abode, and all one would need to live there is $3.5 million.

Built in 1935, the 10-bedroom and seven-bath property is close to a 5,000-square-foot dwelling and is for sale on Zillow.
