This Charleston-style home is a stunner with over $50,000 in thoughtful upgrades, all set against the backdrop of breathtaking sunsets over a serene 25-acre lake. Life here is about slowing down and savoring the beauty, whether it is biking along… Read More the water's edge, casting a line from the shore, or launching a kayak for an early morning paddle. From the moment you step onto the welcoming front porch, complete with a custom swing, a tranquil fountain, and fresh landscaping designed to highlight the lake views, you will feel at home. Inside, new coastal curtains and blinds (including motorized in the primary suite) complement fresh paint throughout, while upgraded rattan light fixtures and ceiling fans add a stylish coastal touch to every room. The chef's kitchen shines with quartz countertops, a spacious island, stainless steel appliances, a new dishwasher, and a walk-in pantry.

Soon, a brand-new deck and pavilion will expand the community amenities even further. Just a short golf cart ride to Charleston's best restaurants and breweries, and a quick drive to Folly Beach, Kiawah Island, and Seabrook Island, this home offers the perfect Lowcountry lifestyle. This is more than a home. It is a turnkey retreat where every detail has been thoughtfully updated for comfort, style, and connection to the beauty of the lakefront setting! Read Less
