Welcome to South Island Drive, a Charleston-inspired neighborhood of custom homes with low-country charm, colors and unique architectural appeal. This inviting 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, two-story with a double-car garage, open flow floor plan, a large front porch and garden spaces to incorporate desirable contiguous indoor-outdoor living. The lot has immediate curb appeal, a pretty yard and porch to enjoy the inviting surroundings. Keeping with the lovely environment, the home carries the natural landscape throughout, with a large, fenced back yard and patio, with easy access to the Carolina room. This Carolina room has lovely wood finishes and stained-glass accents throughout. Enter the home through a gracious foyer, heading to the living areas, upstairs or kitchen. The kitchen is truly the heart of the house with rows of cabinets, a large pantry, great counter space and central sink overlooking the back yard. This home unites spacious prep, cooking and entertaining in this multi-purpose space which is also highlighted by popular décor of white cabinets and Brazilian Cherry hardwood throughout. It is even more stunning with a multi-colored stone fireplace that provides warmth and comfort to the main floor. There are two double doors from the formal dining room into the Carolina room, so convenient for family and guests. Major stainless kitchen appliances (only a year old!) convey, as well as the front-loading washer/dryer in the utility area leading to the garage. There is a half-bath, perfect for guests, and down the hallway is the spacious master en-suite, complete with jetted tub and walk-in shower. The en suite has complete privacy in its own wing of the house. But, the fun home seems to go on and on, even walk-in attic...and those 4 big bedrooms call for family entertainment, a buddies golf weekend, or just unending opportunities for every day enjoyment of the many amenities right in Tidewater. This house was built with steel, not wood, construction making it very safer during hurricane seasons. Steel construction offers other numerous advantages, including strength, durability, fire and termite resistance. The roof is new, installed in 2025, and the HVAC and hot water heater were both replaced less than 5 years ago. This is a great opportunity! Long-term rentals only are allowed on the Plantation side; so, at this compelling price, low HOAs & taxes and rich amenities, this amazing, rare dream home is also an excellent investment as well as being desirable for a treasured vacation home. Tidewater boasts many other rich, upscale amenities, including owners' beach cabana on the Cherry Grove Beach named the 11th best in the nation, pools & spas, clay- & hard-surface tennis courts, pickle ball, bocce, horseshoes, amenities center, fitness center, driving range and putting green, 24 -hour gated manned security and clubhouse with bar & restaurants. There is even a complimentary gated storage yard for boats, campers, recreational vehicles and the like. Tidewater lifestyle.Tidewater itself is on a tree-lined road to oceanfront Anne Tilghman Boyce Coastal Reserve, a nature conservancy, including Waties Island, with access for managed recreational use. Tidewater, a historic plantation, is on an elevated peninsula of live oaks and southern pines between the Intracoatal Waterway and the Cherry Grove Inlet to the Atlantic Ocean. The plantation also preserves the unique look of its own origins. It is close to the beach, shopping, entertainment, medical services, outstanding schools and parks and access to major highways. The jewel in the crown of the development is that private owners' beach cabana on the wide, white sands of the Cherry Grove Beach, just a few minutes drive. This charming home enjoys a pristine, indigenous peaceful environment of wildlife and natural scenery, in addition to the excellent reputation of the Tidewater Golf Course, the Pebble Beach of the East.
