MLS# 15013648 | 1075 Cottingham Drive Mount Pleasant SC | Cooper Estates subdivision

Looking for a spacious home in close-in Mt Pleasant? This flexible floor plan should please every family & the oversized detached garage for cars and boats is a great bonus. There is a boat ramp on Shem Creek available for use for a small optional annual fee. This home is move-in ready, but could still be improved like the $700,000+ homes nearby. There is a formal living room & dining room off the center hall stairwell & foyer with coat closet. The living room has two doors, so could also be used as a home office, or even a downstairs 5th bedroom (no closet now) since there is a full bath across the back hall. A former one-car attached garage has a walk-in closet and could also be a 5th or 6th bedroom. There is a huge family room on the rear, open to the center island kitchen. Click forThe family room off the rear has vaulted ceilings with two ceiling fans and a wall of built-in bookcases, storage cabinets and window seats. A deck (looks like low maintenance Trex with PVC handrails) wraps around two sides of this room. Since this is the only room in the home with carpet, it was not replaced since a new owner might prefer hardwood floors. There are lots of kitchen cabinets which have been freshly painted white. Stainless steel appliances include a dual drawer dishwasher, range and hood. The black refrigerator can stay. The extra large breakfast area should accommodate a long farm table. There is a brick fireplace in the breakfast room with more cabinets, some with glass doors, on either side. There are four bedrooms and two baths upstairs, including the current master bedroom. Some buyers might like to combine two rooms for a master suite with a larger bath and more closet space, since bedrooms could be added on the first floor. Another idea: the first floor rec room with the walk-in closet (currently used as a pantry) could also be turned into a ground level master bedroom. This room could also easily be turned back into a one car garage. (Floor under vinyl is wood, but assume garage slab is still there.) So many future options! Please note that a smaller (2555 SF) home at 541 Pelzer (at corner of Cottingham, just a few homes away) sold recently for over $700,000, so there will be a return on investment for any renovations.The home has newer double pane windows. Both HVAC systems have been under a service contract and were recently serviced (two outdoor units say manufactured in 2005). The downstairs is Trane and the upstairs is American Standard. The family room and rec room have separate through-the-wall HVAC units. The water heater is tank-less. The interior of the home has been freshly repainted, all electrical outlets and switches were replaced, and most light fixtures, fans and door knobs are brand new. There is a wheelchair ramp from the driveway to the rear family room, although the downstairs bathroom is not handicap-accessible. This lot does not appear to be in flood zone, although current owner thinks there is an inexpensive assumable flood insurance policy, if desired.There is a Satsuma orange tree, by back door of rec room, which usually has hundreds of delicious oranges each fall. You can see the tiny orange buds on the tree already!Check out the Cooper Estates Civic Club website at www.cooperestates.org. It is optional to join this club, but membership includes access to the boat ramp on Shem Creek and you can reserve the covered picnic shelter for parties and events. Read about annual oyster roasts, fishing tournaments, supper club, New Year's and Halloween parties and more! A fire pit and creek swing are mentioned. The initiation fee, levels of annual fees, discounts for seniors, etc. are online. Even if you are not a boater, it sure sounds like fun.
