Overview

Imagine stepping back in time to 1850, when Reverend James Lynch Belin built this graceful two-story parsonage on his Cedar Hill Plantation. Originally the heart of early Methodist ministry along the inlet, the home later journeyed to its current serene waterfront setting just north of The Marshwalk. In more recent decades, it became “Sister’s Heaven,” the beloved residence of Murrells Inlet legend Genevieve “Sister” Chandler Peterkin. Here, surrounded by ancient live oaks and sweeping marsh views, Sister penned her acclaimed memoir Heaven Is a Beautiful Place, capturing the soul of the Lowcountry in every porch rocking chair conversation. Today, this historic treasure is ready for its next chapter..... and it could be yours ! Step inside and you’ll discover the perfect blend of timeless charm and thoughtful modern living. The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features original hardwood floors that have witnessed more than 170 years of Lowcountry stories. Tasteful, unique updates throughout honor the home’s heritage while offering comfortable living that feels both authentic and inviting. Outside, the magic unfolds. A long driveway winds beneath massive, moss-draped live oaks, welcoming you home like a page from a Southern novel. Relax or gather on the spacious porch overlooking the inlet. Just seconds away is the iconic Murrells Inlet Marshwalk, and your own floating dock provides direct access to the water for boating, fishing, or simply watching the tides roll in. With zoning that allows both commercial and residential uses, this property offers rare versatility. Whether you envision a private residence, a charming short-term rental, or a commercial opportunity in the heart of the Inlet.... This is more than a house. It’s a landmark. A storyteller. A front-row seat to the beauty, history, and spirit that make Murrells Inlet unforgettable. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a piece of South Carolina’s coastal heritage come experience 3957 Highway 17 Business for yourself.
