In this special episode, host Bill Macchio joins Alex Brener of Alex Brener Real Estate for an exclusive “Coastal Home Tour” of a true Sullivan’s Island masterpiece: 1750 Ion Avenue.
Built in 1900 as part of the iconic “Officers Row” by the Army Corps of Engineers, this 6,000-square-foot historic landmark seamlessly blends turn-of-the-century grandeur with modern coastal luxury. Alex and Bill explore the 6-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom estate, uncovering hidden gems like the six original fireplaces featuring pristine, 126-year-old tile and molding—remarkably preserved with flues that have never seen ash.
The craftsmanship is staggering: 11-foot ceilings adorned with decorative pressed-tin panels (sourced from the original manufacturer still in business today) and original lighting fixtures that have illuminated the home since the beginning. You’ll see how a former exterior porch was transformed into a stunning solarium using historic windows reclaimed from The Citadel, and how the kitchen balances high-end modern appliances with reclaimed brick to maintain its historic soul.
From the “everything nook” to the modern wine cellar and the breathtaking pocket doors of the formal sitting room, this tour is a masterclass in historic preservation by Talby Taylor.
While the conversation is captivating, this episode is a visual feast. We invite you to watch the video to truly experience the preserved beauty of 1750 Ion Avenue.
