Canterbury Woods The Retreat Charleston SC Homes For Sale | James Schiller

Some houses are just a space. This home is a lifestyle.Set on a quiet tidal creek in The Retreat at Canterbury Woods, this single-story home offers a backyard that is pure Lowcountry--your own private dock, shifting marsh views, and a tidal waterway that runs about 250 yards to Church Creek. At low tide, you can kayak out with just a few inches of water. At higher tides--typically 4-5 feet deep--the creek is ideal for jon boats, kayaks, paddleboards, and other shallow-draft craft. (The seller has even seen larger boats--up to about 21 feet--make the run during the high-tide window.) It's a tidal system, but it's absolutely water you can use and enjoy.And even if you're not a paddler or a putterer, the daily nature show out back is worth the price of admission. Eagles, hawks, heron, egrets, raccoonsyou'll have some of the best neighbors in Charleston. Add in the never-ending dance of light, tide, and marshgrass, and it feels like the outdoors is doing the decorating for you. Inside, the home is bright and easy to live in. A vaulted great room with skylights and a brick fireplace opens toward the sunroom and marsh. The sunroom runs along the back of the house with windows on three sides, so the water and trees are always in view. The kitchen, dining, and breakfast areas sit together off to one sideupdated cabinetry and solid-surface counters, ready for everyday use without feeling fussy. The primary bedroom looks out toward the pool and creek with its own access to the patio, and the secondary bedrooms are tucked on the opposite side for a bit of separation. If you've been waiting for a place that offers comfort, privacy, and a true Lowcountry outdoor lifenot just a view, but a dock, a pool, and usable tidal waterthis one delivers.
