745 Francis Marion Dr.

There are times when you walk into a house and everything just feels right. You know, feels like home. 745 Francis Marion Drive in historic Georgetown, South Carolina, is one of those homes where you'll immediately feel the serene peacefulness and comfort. A low country beauty here with hardi cedar siding, metal roof and bahama shutters. Enjoy water views and an open living concept, hardwood floors and solid wood doors throughout, great room with cozy fireplace for chilly evenings, large kitchen with breakfast bar, large pantry/storage (enough space for a small office), and a light and bright sun room just right for those quiet mornings. There are two bedrooms with a shared bath downstairs and the large owner's retreat is upstairs with dormer windows, lots of storage, and an organized walk in closet and bathroom. The true star of the show, besides the river of course, is the amazing yard. If you enjoy nature and gardening, this will be your happy place. Many native plants and fruit trees here - figs, blueberries, muscadine grapes, ,crepe myrtles, wheeping willow, oaks, lots of flower beds, herb garden, koi pond - so much room for you to make this your own creation. There is an outdoor detached "she shed" - "man cave" - workshop - three separate spaces under one roof providing room for lawn equipment, tools, and maybe an arts and crafts area. Now let's talk about the waterfront side...The home is situated on a high and dry .70 acre lot directly on Black River. The back yard is fenced with a wonderful grilling and dining patio, such a great entertaining space! But better still, imagine walking out onto your covered back porch, napping on the oversized swing, having dinner outdoors, taking in the views, the quiet, the busy hummingbirds and all the abundant wildlife - what a blessing to have a front row seat! Follow the walkway and down the stairs to enjoy 100' of frontage on the beautiful Black River. Stationary dock for sunning and fish cleaning, plus a floating dock - tie up the inner tubes and float a while and when you're ready, hop in the boat and enjoy cruising, skiing, fishing! Francis Marion is also an easy drive or boat ride to historic downtown Georgetown waterfront Harbor Walk where you will find amazing views, community theater, wonderful dining, fresh local seafood, antique and boutique shopping, and friendly folks. It really does not get much better than this. Enjoy Low Country Living at it's best! *Buyer is responsible for verifying square footage.
