Description

This adorable two bedroom bungalow, ideally located in the highly desirable neighborhood of Riverland Terrace, overflows with character, charm and sophistication. On arriving, the established landscaping will delight you immediately - eye-catching mature shrubbery, blossoming plants and a colorful Japanese Coral Maple invite you onto the welcoming front porch. The moment you enter, you'll feel welcomed by the mix of old character and updated convenience. Full walls of plantation-shuttered windows let in bright and abundant natural light throughout the house. The open floor plan allows you to see gleaming hardwood floors, and beautiful period crown - and picture molding from the living room through the dining room into the updated kitchen. A cozy wood-burning fireplace with built incabinetry beside it makes this room a wonderful place to relax and entertain. Behind the living room is a hidden gem of an office, with three walls of windows and a custom built-in desk at one end; the other corner provides a perfect nook to curl up with a book or other quiet activity. The formal dining room has a breakfast bar sitting area that leads into a fully renovated kitchen featuring granite counters, SS appliances and tons of counter space for cooking! Just off the kitchen is a dedicated pantry with an etched glass door and generous laundry area with built-in cabinetry and plentiful surface space for sorting and folding. Beyond the laundry room is a large, screened porch, a perfect outdoor living space to put your feet up while you enjoy the beautifully landscaped, fenced-in backyard with its magnificent grand oak, hanging swing and an amazing storage shed. The owners retreat features a large walk-in closet, and en-suite full bath with a tiled walk-in shower. The second bedroom is located adjacent to the second full bath, which is nicely updated and has a single vanity and tub/shower combo. Riverland Terrace offers something for everyone. This home is just half a block from Medway Park with its basketball court, baseball field, dog park and large community garden. Plymouth Park on the Stono River, with its playground, more sports fields, and a boat ramp/dock area, is located within walking distance. The neighborhood also boasts waterfront seating at Plymouth Park and at the end of Riverland Drive that offer beautiful views, perfect for reading, picnicking or general relaxation, and the City of Charleston has plans to develop another passive park only blocks from the house at Fort Pemberton, an historic earthen Civil War-era fortification along the Stono River. The newly renovated municipal golf course, numerous restaurants and a movie theater are within a very short walking distance.
