Renovated, waterfront front home in desirable Bay View Acres. Bay View is the first neighborhood one encounters when entering Mount Pleasant via Coleman Boulevard. This home's superior location lends itself to quick access to and from Charleston by road and tidal access to Shem Creek and Charleston Harbor by water. Masterfully renovated and tastefully updated, this four bedroom, three full bath home is move-in ready. Light and bright, the downstairs has bamboo hardwood floors in the living room, dining room, eat in kitchen and guest bedroom / downstairs master. The gorgeous, functional kitchen features granite countertops, porcelain tile flooring, upscale cabinetry with ample soft-close drawers, storage and a fully integrated dishwasher. The adjoining family room is outfitted with ambient lighting and pre-wired for surround sound and flat screen TV. Top of the line Hunter Douglas top-down/bottom-up, energy star Duette window treatments throughout. Upstairs master suite has a view of the creek, walk in closet and a fully renovated bathroom complete with a Kohler deep soaking tub and a custom granite vanity. The two upstairs bedrooms share a jack and jill bathroom with a very unique, original square cast iron children's tub. One bedroom has a walk-in closet and the other has a full dressing room, fireplace and large balcony/deck overlooking the creek. The 10x12 dressing room can be used a a media room, office, or nursery. Original solid oak floors are throughout the upstairs. The almost half acre lot features mature landscaping including live oaks, palmettos, azaleas, and best of all - privacy (no home can be built across the street). The views of Shem Creek and Charleston Harbor from the backyard and the dock are AMAZING. Only three miles to downtown Charleston; five miles to the beach, and less than one mile to Shem Creek. Bay View Acres features a private boat ramp, parks, tennis court and a causeway which provides walking access to the new Shem Creek Waterfront Park (and its many seafood restaurants). A short walk away is the Ravenel Bridge's popular walking / biking path as well as the many amenities offered by Patriot's Point, such as: the award winning Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina, an eighteen hole golf course, nature trails, maritime museum, restaurant, etc.) Per Seller - a structural header is already in place to maximize the view along the back wall of the house - first story. A detailed list of all improvements made during the recent remodel is available upon request.
