Enter the home through the freshly painted front porch and into the entryway with a Pecky cypress cathedral ceiling. New interior and exterior lighting fixtures, ceiling fans and paint have been updated throughout. Off the entryway, glass French doors open to the home office with shiplap paneling and built-in desk, shelves and cabinets.The eat-in kitchen has granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances and a pantry. A passthrough to the living room allows for more natural light and bar seating. The living room is accentuated by a high tongue-and-groove ceiling with exposed cypress beams and beautiful tidal creek views. Just off the living room is a back porch with a covered sitting/dining space and grilling area. The porch overlooks the creek and backyard with large live oaks and kids' playset, an outdoor shower, and private dock. The main bedroom offers a vaulted ceiling, striking views of the creek and sliding glass doors that open to the back porch. There are two walk-in closets and a large wood-paneled bathroom with dual sinks, tile flooring and large glass shower. Two guest bedrooms share a bathroom with a shower/tub combination.Additional highlights include a spacious laundry room and two-car garage that has a FROG with private entry to a large bonus room, full bathroom and new HVAC system (separate from the main house). The home is energy efficient with solar panels, a new Daikin FIT HVAC electric/gas unit, updated duct work and new vapor barrier. Fort Lamar is a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood that's just a few minutes from Folly Beach and a short drive to downtown Charleston. Built around the remains of an old Civil War fort, the neighborhood offers a beautiful setting of grand live oak trees and marsh views.
