Built in 2017, this is an open four bedroom, two and half bath design with owner's suite on the first floor. Possibilities abound for additional square footage and an added bedroom/bath with the ability to finish the already roughed-in (electric/plumbing) third floor suite with walk-in closet. Step off the sidewalk to a classic southern sitting porch overlooking a rare buffer side yard between you and your neighbors. Light wood floors greet you on your entrance...notice upgraded light fixtures throughout the home. A home office with French doors and great light greets you to the right of the entry hallway.Conveniently just across the front hall is the entry to the spacious owner's suite, with light wood floors and a luxurious bath featuring shower with hexagon tile floor. Other finishes include subway tile walls & upgraded glass door, garden tub, walk-in closet and double sink vanities with white/gray Shadow Storm marble below a shiplap wall. Completing the bathroom is an onyx tile floor in a chevron pattern. Close by across the hall is a sizable laundry at the foot of the stairs with additional shelving storage. While the ceilings are 9 feet tall on the first floor, the house opens to a fabulous gabled ceiling (14.5 feet at the peak) above the broad and open living/dining/kitchen area. Sparkling quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, upgraded faucets and island with undermount stainless steel sink. The roomy and bright living area provides plenty of seating with a shiplap accent wall surrounding the natural gas fireplace. Just steps from the island is the dining area for morning coffee overlooking the side yard or dinner with friends and family. Outside is a private screened-in porch for relaxing Sundays or entertaining guests. Just out the door is access to the rear yard, large driveway, extended garage, and alley access. The side yard is a perfect spot for nights spent around the fire with friends or family. Heading upstairs the light wood flooring continues through the hallway to the open loft spacea great multi-use space for exercise, media room, den, or officeand the sun filled French door entrance to the wide upper porch. Three carpeted, light-filled bedrooms (ranging from 16' x 14' to 13'6" x 12') all feature walk-in closets. The largest bedroom has a chevron wooden accent wall. Centrally shared full bath features double sink and white/gray Shadow Storm marble countertop. Styling the decor are the round porcelain mosaic tile floor and subway tile in the shower/bath.

The home is also a block from the award-winning Academic Magnet High School and Charleston County School of the Arts (These are both application-based countywide magnet schools). The extended (24' deep x 20' wide) two-car garage is a neighborhood rarity...big enough for the current owner's 18.6' boat with a 24' package length, golf cart, bikes, tools, and lawn equipment.
