Nestled beneath grand oaks and framed by nearly 3.9 acres of native Lowcountry landscape, this private Stono Pointe retreat feels worlds away while remaining just minutes from Charleston. A winding approach reveals a home designed to embrace its surroundings at every turn - expansive porches, glowing sunset skies, marsh breezes, and quiet moments gathered around the fire pit beneath the trees.Designed to embrace the marsh and Stono River views, the home unfolds through generous indoor and outdoor gathering spaces that invite a slower pace and an effortless connection to the outdoors. Elevated for both views and peace of mind, the residence offers effortless access via elevator from the oversized 3-car garage.The recently enhanced outdoor living spaces are the true centerpiece of the property.
