One-of-a-Kind Lowcountry Escape

2037 Lake Shore Drive is a distinct, innovative Charleston SC home for sale, tucked away on a quiet, marsh front street. Flawless, streamlined renovations meet nostalgic, mid-century architecture in this one-of-a-kind property and no interior or exterior detail has been overlooked.

Built by architect Elliot Constantine and restored in 2007 by a nationally distinguished interior designer, this home was featured on the cover of Charleston Magazine in the Spring of 2009. This modern architecture is unique for Charleston’s traditional, southern design and seamlessly blends retro flair with the updates and finishes of today’s less formal lifestyle.

The floor plan offers an open concept, flowing smoothly from one room to the next. Walk through the front door - to your right will be a custom built fretwork wall and to your right will be a freestanding Calcutta marble fireplace – two features that create a true entryway without blocking the sleek, fluid design of the home as a whole. The formal living room boasts floor-to- ceiling glass offering unobstructed views of a marsh scene, complete with egrets and herons.

Open to the living room, the dining area extends into the kitchen on the rear of the home and spills out onto the back porch (which overlooks the pool and backyard - more on that below!). The gourmet kitchen is central to the rear of the home and opens into the den with an island breakfast bar to connect yet separate the space. And symmetrically designed to the living room, the den also provides floor to ceiling windows, along with a customized, built-in shelving unit and a separate office nook.

2 bedrooms, each with built-in shelving and closets have views of the backyard and share a full bath. The spacious master suite continues the homes symmetric design, featuring floor to ceiling glass on the front side of the home. It also offers a custom, wrap-around closet and a master bathroom that could compete with a swanky spa. The bath is in suite and boasts Waterworks Terrazzo tile, a massive glass walled shower and a skylight.

The backyard is a true oasis, hidden by a privacy fence, young palms and bamboo evergreens. The back porch is covered, enclosed with custom built glass panels and overlooks an ionized, salt water pool.
