Stunning, lovingly & meticulously maintained custom built home nestled pond-side in the charming neighborhood of Pinckney Place, right in the heart of Mt. Pleasant. This spacious cottage was built for the current owners, who thought out every detail, making this a very special place to call home. If you love to entertain, this is a home that will truly delight you...the flow of the interior spaces and exterior porches and garden rooms lend themselves beautifully to gatherings of almost any size. Set just off the neighborhood fountain park, the rocking chair front porch welcomes you to this gracious home. Step into the foyer and you will notice high-quality details right from the start...true site-finished solid wood flooring, 2-piece crown molding, tall baseboards,casings around all doors & windows, custom built-ins & mantle surrounding the gas fireplace, and more. This beautiful home offers the perfect blend of being open and inviting, while also having a bit of definition to its rooms that you don't find in many homes. The relaxing and calming family room has cased openings leading to the foyer and into the kitchen, giving it a more intimate feel. There is also a lovely sunroom just off of the dining area which offers a spot to curl up and read a book or watch tv (it is even possible to turn this into a potential guest space by adding french doors or a barn-style door). The kitchen and dining area are open to each other, allowing great flow for entertaining and sharing special meals. Granite countertops, a tiled backsplash, semi-custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances provide quality finishes in the well-planned kitchen. The center island in the kitchen provides additional storage as well as seating for 4 for casual meals or for friends and family to relax and chat while dinner is being prepared. A built in cabinet between the kitchen and dining area provides a place to display special artwork or serving pieces, and an enclosed cabinet below offers additional storage for dishes or other items. You'll love having the ever-changing view from your kitchen window while looking out over the pond...it is the perfect spot for enjoying wildlife, nature and the glorious sunsets. Another great spot to view the pond and sunsets is through the window of one of the dual upstairs owners' suites. Having both bedroom suites upstairs allows for privacy for the family, while the main level of the home accommodates guests graciously. The owners' suite at the front of the home offers a luxuriously appointed bath including granite-topped vanity with dual sinks, soaking tub, glass-enclosed tiled shower and additional shelving for towels and bath supplies. Both suites have walk-in closets, with the closet in the suite at the rear of the home large enough to also serve as a creative or office space, along with having shelving for clothing. The ensuite bath provides an extra linen closet for additional storage. The downstairs half bath has beaded board wainscoting, and a tucked-away niche for supplies. A pocket door allows you to close off the large laundry/office nook area off of the kitchen when entertaining, if desired. As you step out through the back door, your breath will catch as you view the beautiful Charleston-style courtyard. Such a sweet spot to sit and enjoy the sound of the fountain in the pond, or entertain friends around the grill. There is also a detached garage with an attached carport, accessed via the rear alley, which can serve as both additional parking and overflow entertaining area, depending upon your needs. There is enough lawn for your furry friends to have a spot to enjoy, without tying you down every weekend with yard maintenance. Since you're so close to the beaches and downtown Charleston when you live in this home, weekends and evenings are better spent with other pursuits! Close to I-526 leading to the Charleston International Airport, hopping on a plane to travel for work or pleasure is a breeze. Restaurants, shops, recreation and healthcare are all within walking or biking distance, and this home is less than a half mile to the brand new Lucy Beckham High School. A serene sense of peace welcomes you into this home, and allows you to have the perfect home base from which to launch your adventures. This home is truly a rare gem, and it awaits its next owner who will surely love it as much as its current owners have! .
