Custom Coastal Retreat with Charming Marsh Views & Prime Location
Welcome to this excellently-maintained, move-in ready James Island home that offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and coastal charm. This residence boasts an open-concept layout with thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor living areas, an abundance of natural light, many customizations and upgrades, and marsh views. Located just a short bike ride to Folly Beach or a 15-minute drive to beautiful downtown Charleston, this property is ideal for those looking to experience the best of what the Lowcountry has to offer. The floor plan strikes a perfect balance between open area and defined space with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Elevated above an oversized garage, the first floor entryway (continued)... has been upgraded with a custom-designed, built-in, drop zone cabinetry. The large great room is complemented by a gas log fireplace and gives way to the den/playroom/office, dining area with shiplap accent wall, and kitchen. The kitchen features a gas range, double oven, and plenty of counter space for preparing meals. Clean-up is a breeze with a top-of-the-line Bosch dishwasher updated in 2024. Steps off the kitchen you'll experience the east facing primary suite and sunroom, both bursting with natural light. The primary suite, with views of the marsh and beautiful palmetto trees, will bring everyday serenity to its occupants. The sunroom, added in 2023, invites the outdoors in with floor-to-ceiling windows. When the natural light needs to be tamed, custom motorized shades deploy at the touch of a button. The heart of this home prioritizes both functionality and style. Upstairs, you'll find a den area currently used as a reading and music nook, two generously sized bedrooms, and ample storage space. The bedrooms rooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Hardwood flooring was installed on the landing to create an elegant transition between the bedrooms and the common areas. Stepping outdoors, you'll be located just steps from the marsh and tidal creek. You can easily launch your kayak for a peaceful paddle and watch dolphins play in the waters at high tide. The quiet surroundings provide the perfect setting to enjoy nature, whether you're fishing or simply soaking in the view. The outdoor living spaces are a true highlight of this home. Enjoy mornings on the elevated and oversized front porch, a perfect spot to catch the sea breeze off the nearby Atlantic Ocean. The back and side yards are designed for entertainment, with a custom-built outdoor kitchen and paver patio installed in 2020. A lush jasmine garden offers a fragrant backdrop with stunning spring blooms, and the space is ideal for a fire on cool winter nights, grilling, dining, and entertaining. In addition to its spacious layout and serene location, this home offers modern upgrades that provide comfort, convenience, and security for years to come. The HVAC system, complete with Nest Thermostats, was replaced in 2023. The attic, upstairs closets, and garage offer abundant storage with room for all your tools, equipment, or even your boat. This home is equipped with custom aluminum storm shutters throughout, making it hurricane-ready and providing added protection during busy storm seasons. The home is free from HOA restrictions. The current owners cherish the layout of the home, which maximizes open living while still providing quiet, private spaces. They love the convenience of being so close to Folly Beach and the ease of biking there without the hassle of weekend beach traffic. The tranquil mornings on the front porch, the evenings spent entertaining on the patio, and the serenity of the marsh views are just a few of the things that make this house feel like home. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to call this charming, coastal retreat your own. Schedule a viewing today!
