Minutes from Folly Beach and downtown, this charming, classic, well-built 3-bed/2-bath brick ranch lies in the ideal location for true James Island living. Its idyllic, shaded backyard, with mature oaks, palms, and jasmine, features a private dock perfect for launching a kayak or a paddleboard on a saltwater pond where you'll find redfish in the water and resident herons gliding over it. Interested in Lowcountry serenity? Spend evenings on the dock taking in the birds or the sunsets or enjoy a peaceful walk past creeks that overlook Morris Island Lighthouse and Charleston Harbor, all in this secluded, desirable, HOA-free JI neighborhood.Enter the home, and you'll note ceramic tile throughout and an open floor plan, with a large great room that leads to a renovated eat-in kitchen with arefinished breakfast bar, updated white wood cabinets, matching stainless appliances, and a neutral granite countertop with plenty of workspace. Conveniently adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find a large laundry room and pantry. Down the hall, move to the updated full bathroom with a new subway-tiled shower, rich wood surround, new toilet and vanity, and recessed storage. The first two bedrooms offer separate closets and plenty of space; the main bedroom, replete with an en suite bathroom that features a tub and tiled shower combo and built-in storage, has two closets, one large enough to serve as office or workout space. The updated, double-hung windows throughout all feature plantation shutters that offer both shade and energy savings in the summer (as does the updated, remotely controlled programmable thermostat); fresh, neutral paint completes the move-in ready interior.As lovely as you'll find things indoors, it's the home's outdoor space that charms and dazzles. Off the kitchen through updated Pella wood double doors lies a large, Spanish-cedar-lined screened porch, ideal for evening dinners where you can birdwatch or admire the water view and sunsets--or open the house up for indoor-outdoor entertaining. In addition to the dock and generous backyard space, you'll find a beautiful brick-paver courtyard and patio and a detached garage for plenty of storage. The pavers (which total some 1,000 sq. ft.) continue out to the side yard through a custom, seven-foot-tall Spanish cedar gate to a parking pad--ideal for backing in a boat. The ample front yard features mature myrtles, azaleas, and jasmine and updated landscaping that includes boxwood shrubs and irises.The home features several updates, including the following: fully replaced duct work (2014); new HVAC system with humidity control (2018); new hot water heater and pex piping throughout (2019); and new gutters (2020).
