This is a once in a lifetime home!! Be prepared for the unexpected... Gorgeous one story home that will knock your socks off! Rarely do homes of this quality and with these views come on the market on James Island. You will be impressed the moment you arrive at 1060 Fort Sumter Drive; Meander up the drive and into the front door and walk into a sunlight filled open floor plan offering floor to ceiling views from the entire back of the home with over 25 windows and several sliding glass doors boasting views of Charleston Harbor, downtown Charleston, the marsh, a tidal creek, Grand Oaks and wildlife galore. The layout consists of 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths plus an office that could be made into a 4th bedroom, a gourmet kitchen with breakfast bar and backyard views, formal dining room, living room, family room, and large sunroom with an indoor endless pool. The kitchen was completely redone in 2008 and is a true chef's delight with granite, breakfast bar, wine cooler, cherry cabinets, special lighting, tons of counter space/storage and Bosch appliances. The master retreat offers a sitting room, huge walk-in closet and updated bath complete with dual sinks, cypress cabinets and jetted/Jacuzzi tub. The secondary bedrooms are all a good size and have great closets/storage. Other upgrades/extras in this home include crown molding, vaulted ceilings, pine floors, custom paint colors, plantation shutters, large laundry room with sink, open fireplace, alarm system, 2 car garage with separate workshop and sink, updated bathrooms, approx. 22 new Anderson A series windows, exterior recently painted and newer HVAC. Outdoor living is at it's best here with a deluxe sunken hot tub overlooking the views, large deck with plenty of room to grill, relax and entertain, custom patio and spacious backyard perfect for a fire pit, slipping your kayak or canoe into the creek and bird watching - Herons, Egrets, Osprey, Ibis, multiple types of ducks, a bird lovers paradise! Approx. 30-40% of this home was added in 2000 and is truly amazing. The neighborhood is conveniently located with no lights between you and downtown and only one stop light between you and Folly Beach. This home is very convenient to the grocery, restaurants (they are so close you could walk or ride your bike), MUSC, the Law School, College of Charleston, schools, approx. 20 minutes to Boeing, the airport and major highways. You better hurry as I can't say enough about this beautiful and unique home!!!
