112 Chadwick Drive, Charleston, SC 29407 MLS #26012968

Tucked away on the marsh in highly sought-after South Windermere, 112 Chadwick Drive offers a rare combination - a fully reimagined Charleston ranch just ten minutes from downtown Charleston. A comprehensive 2022 renovation by Island Architects and Kingwood Builders, with landscape design by Visnapuu Designs, took an already well-loved home and brought it fully into its present-day form: approximately 2,954 square feet with three bedrooms and three baths, set on 0.27-acres overlooking the marsh, with single-level living throughout. The renovation reworked the floor plan to add a true primary suite, replaced the roof and gutters, refreshed every interior surface with new paint and updated overhead lighting throughout, and converted the original carport into a proper garage. The kitchen was updated with a new cooktop, refrigerator, and wine cooler, and the home now runs on a tankless water heater. A redesigned front porch with a new front door and gas lantern, plus working exterior shutters, give the front of the house a thoughtful, finished feel. The crawl space was opened, trenched, sealed with a moisture barrier, and fitted with sump pumps. The primary suite is its own private getaway. A vaulted, beamed ceiling rises above tall, marsh-facing windows that fill the room with light. The spa-style bath is finished in classic marble and boasts a freestanding soaking tub, an oversized frameless-glass shower, and two large vanities. Beyond the bath, the walk-in closet runs at dressing-room scale: custom built-ins, hardwood floors, a center island, and enough hanging and folded storage for two. The back of the house is the heart of the property. A bluestone terrace and a screened-in porch with a wood-burning fireplace open to a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen, all framed by the marsh and a majestic oak tree beyond. The rear of the lot was elevated and reinforced with a seawall, with all drainage tied to underground pipes that discharge to the marsh. Roses on trellises, a new perimeter hedge, fencing and gates, irrigation, and landscape lighting complete a yard that feels designed rather than decorated. The owners even went to the trouble of burying the power lines to create a true natural oasis feel. South Windermere Shopping Center is around the corner - Earth Fare, Normandy Farm Artisan Bakery, Bakers Bar, Three Little Birds, and many other great local businesses -- making this one of the most accessible pockets in West Ashley. The West Ashley Greenway, a 10.5-mile flat trail that begins at South Windermere, sits a short walk away and is already woven into daily life here -- and its role is about to grow. The proposed Ashley River Crossing, a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge currently under construction and scheduled to open in mid-2027, will connect the West Ashley Greenway directly to Brittlebank Park, the Medical District, and the rest of downtown Charleston. When complete, residents of South Windermere will be able to walk or ride from this trailhead to the heart of downtown without ever crossing a vehicular bridge - a meaningful upgrade in connectivity. 112 Chadwick Drive is a rare offering: a turnkey marshfront home, comprehensively renovated by a respected architect-and-builder team, in one of Charleston's most convenient and amenity-rich neighborhoods, on the cusp of becoming meaningfully more connected to the peninsula.
