Previous Description:
5 bedroom, 3 full/2 half bath home with private dock on gorgeous tidal salt lake on a quiet dead end street. Home was expertly laid out to maximize views of the lake and the incredible nature that surrounds it. Enter the home from the full, rocking chair front porch into the foyer. Your eyes are immediately drawn through the family room windows in the back to the picturesque outside. To the right is the dining room and to the left is a separate living room. Straight back is the open concept family room and kitchen. Full light French doors from the kitchen to the screened porch bring the outside in -- feel the breeze and hear the birds chirping. The family room, kitchen and screened porch all flow together as one so no one misses out when gathering together.Windows all across back of house allow you, 24/7, to see nature in action with just a glance... watching birds fly like acrobats over the lake; watching family and friends play and frolic in the lake and hearing their peals of laughter; the clouds on a sunny day wafting across the blue sky, and on a stormy day, dark clouds blowing about in the distant lightening streaked sky. And, sunsets beyond anyone's imagination! Get ready for intimate dinners on the screened porch by candlelight, or for creating special memories with family and friends like 4th of July celebrations around the lake; sitting on the dock at night watching the fish swim around the fish light...always a show; sitting quietly under the expansive night sky glittering with the stars above, usually with a line or two thrown in to catch fish! This home has many beautiful features inside to match the extraordinary ambience outside. Hardwood floors appear throughout the first level (except the baths, which have tile flooring). You'll find custom cabinets, lighting, and plumbing fixtures throughout. The spacious master suite on the main level features a vaulted ceiling and a large bay window with stunning lake views. There is a private FROG accessible from the mud room, which features a prep sink, space for a second refrigerator, and a half bath. Upstairs you'll find a bedroom with en suite bath and 2 additional bedrooms that share a full bath. This home has undergone extensive renovations over the last several years. The entire back of the house was rebuilt to maximize the views. In 2013, a Rinnai tankless water heater was installed. In 2016, a Forticell mold and mildew treament (with 30-year guarantee) was done and spray foam insulation was installed under the first floor. In 2018, the first floor HVAC unit and ductwork were replaced; hardwood floors were refinished; and the dishwasher was replaced. In 2020, the exterior was repainted; the roof was replaced with 30-year architectural shingles; new heat pump and air handler were installed on the 2nd floor; the driveway was replaced; and a new tile shower and bathroom floor were installed in the main level master. In 2021, much of the interior was repainted; the garage doors were replaced; and a new microwave and some new windows were installed. The location is on a quiet dead end street but very convenient to James Island shopping and dining, six miles to downtown Charleston and 7 miles to Folly Beach. This is a special home in a special community. A must see!
