Property Description
DIRECT WATERFRONT VIEWS of FORT SUMTER, the CHARLESTON HARBOR and the DOWNTOWN skyline. This is one of only a handful of West Ashley homes with this view. Watch fireworks over the harbor and ships gliding in, or launch a kayak or paddle board with the tides. The home is set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Albemarle Point, an EXCLUSIVE enclave of just 10 homes with no through traffic. It's a short walk to PORTER-GAUD SCHOOL, a bike ride to Earth Fare and yoga, and one light and 5 minutes to downtown.This RARE SINGLE-STORY residence offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and 3,369 SF of warm, character-rich living, including TWO PRIMARY SUITES. Refinished hardwood floors, extensive millwork and two gas fireplaces with custom mantels set the tone. The CUSTOM KITCHEN features all-wood cabinetry and a built-in banquette. One primary bath is lined in marble, with vintage fixtures, a SPACIOUS SEPARATE SHOWER and a private water closet. The second primary suite has its own custom marble STEAM SHOWER. A "secret" room waits behind a bookcase. Outdoors, a CUSTOM SALTWATER POOL with automatic cover and heater/chiller sits on a 1,000 SF TRAVERTINE DECK, with an outdoor shower close by. The .58-acre grounds are framed by grand oaks, magnolias, palms, roses and hydrangeas, with dappled sunlight and lasting privacy. A granite driveway and a custom wood workshop warmed by a Franklin stove complete the property. The home's story is like no other in Charleston. It began as a WWII barracks building, FLOATED DOWN THE RIVER ON A BARGE and was the FIRST HOME ON THE POINT. Built from old-growth pine, it was fully renovated beginning in 2015. Upgrades over the years include a 150 MPH-rated STANDING SEAM METAL ROOF, new HVAC with commercial ducting, all-new electrical (200 amp) and PEX plumbing, and HURRICANE-RATED windows and doors across the back. It's a true Lowcountry original."
