Description

This charming Johns Island home is nestled on 1.6 acres of mature waterfront Lowcountry landscape and is just waiting for you to come embrace the opportunity to make it truly yours! The marsh is nature's highway, and it will also be your backyard. Staged by ancient grand Live Oaks, and also populated by numerous other native flora and fauna, your sunset views are truly paradise. Imagine a rope swing from an old Live Oak over the marsh and Adirondack chairs overlooking the tributaries of the Stono River. Walk down the causeway on your property and wade into the creek with your paddleboards or kayaks while the kids chase fiddler crabs and hunt for snails. It is the perfect setting for your Lowcountry dream home.Inside, this home boasts a well thought out floor plan with amplestorage, large rooms, and heart pine ceilings. There are 3 bedrooms plus a very large frog that presents many opportunities as a flex space, as well as a 2 car garage, separate dining, eat in kitchen, laundry, and a large great room. Please note not all rooms are pictured due to storage use. Refer to the floor plan added into this listing for size. While it needs a little TLC, and some may choose to update, the home is a very functional and cozy residence complete with a fireplace and a covered porch for soaking up those sunsets over the Stono River. Here is your chance to achieve the privacy and the views you have always wanted at an affordable price! You won't want to miss the whitetail deer travel out of the marsh, along the cedars, and under the oaks while the egrets and herons wade in the marsh searching for shrimp. The property is also lined with juniper trees, wax myrtles, cassina plants, wisteria, a bank of ferns, a papyrus plant, a variety of oaks, a holly tree, dogwood trees, gardenias, and gorgeous camellias in bloom. A large and old Bradford Pear flanks the home and there are also two magnolia trees, crepe myrtles, and boxwood and Japanese holly shrubs along the front porch. In true Lowcountry style, there are azaleas and pine trees all through the yard with yellow jasmine entwined in the bushes. This true native and mature landscaping makes this property private, beautiful, and unique. Schedule your showing today, as you must see this gem in person to embrace the beauty of this property!
