Allston House is a small, three-story raised-beach condominium complex built in 1988 and composed primarily of three-bedroom townhome-style units. The community’s low-density layout (about 14 residences across three buildings) emphasizes waterfront orientation: many units feature screened porches or balconies with direct marsh and inlet views. Interiors commonly include open living areas with hardwood floors, gas or wood-burning fireplaces with built-ins, kitchen islands or breakfast bars, stainless steel appliances, dual sinks in master suites, and practical touches such as attic access and permanent attic stairs. Ground floors often provide a guest or lockout bedroom with nearby covered parking and storage; upper floors contain two private bedrooms with en-suite baths and Carolina rooms with large windows. Exterior amenities focus on water access and outdoor living — a community-owned dock, floating dock/floater, pier reaching deep water, a small marsh beach, gazebo, and boat storage allow boating, fishing, kayaking, and scenic marsh viewing. The HOA handles exterior maintenance, insurance, utilities like water and sewer, basic cable and trash, simplifying ownership. Located near Murrells Inlet’s Marsh Walk, restaurants, the East Coast Greenway bike trail, Huntington Beach State Park and Brookgreen Gardens, the development offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle with easy access to dining, recreation, and regional road links to Myrtle Beach and Charleston.
