Description

Enjoy waterfront island living at its finest in this unique home located on a secluded street, with plenty of spreading Southern Live Oaks and backyard access to a protected deepwater dock with convenient access to the Intracoastal Waterway! Even better, it remains within walking/bicycling distance from the beach, shopping centers and local restaurants, while being a short drive to a major thoroughfare, so commuting to work, or into the city of Charleston is a breeze!With its distinctive design by Royal Barry Wills Associates, this architectural gem is full of character. The front entry opens into a windowed hallway separating the two living areas: to the right, two bedrooms and a bath, for children/guests, and to the left, a much larger area encompassing theliving room with cathedral ceiling, a large exposed-brick fireplace, exposed beams, and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the marsh; a dining room with its own barbecue grill (built into the back of the fireplace brick); an adjoining kitchen; a balconied loft; and the master bedroom with private bath. All bedrooms have cathedral ceilings and exposed beams. The entry hallway has a large, copper, watertight sunken space suitable for gardening or a goldfish pond. A protected slate patio for outdoor entertaining/relaxation is accessible from both the living room and hallway via sliding glass doors. A large laundry room is off the backdoor entryway. The extended back yard is spacious with a 190 foot dock leading to documented deep water. It overlooks quiet Hamlin Creek which is an offshoot from the ICW and where osprey breed and bottlenose dolphin are common visitors.
