Soak in the Litchfield by the Sea lifestyle from The Fordham the premier and largest building in Somerset, the gated oceanfront enclave within one of the Carolina coast's most sought-after resorts. One of the most striking buildings on the Pawleys Island oceanfront, the Fordham is coastal-traditional architecture done with real intention: a dramatic vertical glass centerpiece that draws the eye up to its signature copper-green rooflines. This is not a box dropped on the beach. Inside, residence #101 is fully furnished, single-level living at its easiest a 3-bedroom, 3-bath condo on the first floor with a designated covered parking spot beneath the building, private owner storage, and a private staircase that drops straight down to the garage, beach access, and the walkway to the pool no elevators, no waiting. Pull in, grab your bags, and settle in. A memorable octagonal foyer with a matching tray ceiling sets the tone before the unit opens to a light-filled great room, where a mirrored accent wall adds depth and floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving ties into the crown molding. Walls of glass and crisp plantation shutters carry the light throughout. The kitchen is larger than most you'll find at the beach: a curved breakfast-bar peninsula that flows to the dining area, generous counter space, abundant cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, a tray ceiling, and a built-in ice maker. The adjoining dining space sits beneath a striking light fixture, framed by more plantation shutters. The wraparound, ocean-view covered porch is the heart of the flat wide enough to serve as a true second living room, with access from both the great room and the primary suite, morning sun, and cooling afternoon shade. A smart split-bedroom plan offers privacy and flexibility: the spacious primary suite enjoys ocean views, private porch access through sliding plantation shutters, an alcove bed detail, dual closets (one walk-in), and an en-suite bath with double sit-down vanity, separate water closet, corner soaking tub, and large walk-in shower. Two well-appointed secondary bedrooms expand the sleeping capacity: a nautical-themed room with a queen bed plus a set of twin bunk beds and built-in shelving with display lighting, and a more elevated room anchored by a queen four-poster bed. Both are served by full baths with consistent brass trim, one accessible from the foyer for guests. A centrally located laundry with full-size washer and dryer rounds out the single-level layout. Recent in-unit updates include durable luxury vinyl plank flooring through the living areas, a 2019 HVAC system, a 2022 commercial-grade water heater, newer refrigerator and range, and new windows and sliders at the living room and porch. Beyond your door, the gated Litchfield by the Sea resort delivers an everyday vacation: an oceanfront beach club, community pools, tennis and pickleball courts, freshwater and saltwater fishing and crabbing, scenic marsh and lake views, and miles of sidewalks and trails all behind 24-hour gated security. Positioned on the north side facing the beach club, #101 enjoys ocean views with welcome separation from the building next door the feel of a coastal flat that's truly your own rather than a stacked complex. Offered fully furnished and turnkey with a proven rental history, this is one of the most sought-after addresses in Litchfield by the Sea. Come see why.
