Terrific home on a large lot in a wonderful James Island Neighborhood. When you pull up to the home, you'll notice it has 3 recently-manicured live oaks and one recently-manicured magnolia tree. The long brick home has a lovely front porch with charming gas lanterns on either side of the front door. When you enter the home, you'll find yourself in the light living room with beautiful wood floors. Behind the living room is the dining room, which is the heart of this home. From the dining room you can make a left into the kitchen, go straight ahead into the charming sun room with sky lights and ceramic tile that looks like a wood floor, or make a right into the laundry room.Continuing past the living room and down a few stairs is a charming and warm den with beautiful floors and a fireplace with a brick hearth. Beyond the den is a large and peaceful screened porch. From the living room, you'll find the three bedrooms and two baths to the left. Since they've owned the home in the last 2 years: the home was converted to gas for the fireplace and a gas range, a new septic drainage field was installed, new air conditioner was installed, the driveway was enlarged and re-paved, a heated & cooled sunroom was added, new outdoor lighting was installed, new flooring and beadboard in the den was installed, new ventilation system was installed in the attic and the crawlspace, new skylights were added, and a farmhouse sink was installed.Charleston touches have been added throughout. The gas lanterns on the front porch, the Charleston bricks lining the driveway and the ones used in the grand-piano-shaped back patio, and the fireplace mantel reclaimed from an old Charleston school house all add charm and a sense of place.All appliances are SS Frigidaire and will convey. The washer & dryer will also convey. The back yard is fenced with a double gate for easy boat access, and from the front porch, you have a partial water view. You can sit on the porch and look across the street and see long distance views of the Harbor View bridge and boats going by.Located in the heart of James Island, this home gives convenient access to the new Ellis Creek Fish Camp, and other restaurants that offer Thai food, Italian, Southern food, Seafood, Mexican, and even a grilled cheese shop.
