SO CLOSE & YET SO FAR from the busyness of the city - This gorgeous deep water home on the Intracoastal Waterway in Awendaw is just 15 minutes N of Mt. Pleasant & 35 minutes N of Historic Charleston by car. Bring your boats, family, pets & outdoor toys. Unwind & relax in this elegant, livable home in a unique outdoor environment with fantastic views of Bull Island & the boats & barges that travel on the ICW. Situated on 2.42 acres of land with magnificent grand old oak trees & large, well-maintained lawn front & back, you are sure to fall in love! Come inside (elevator shaft in place if needed)and experience the incredible views from the Great Room, Kitchen, Sun-room, Master Bedroom, Guest Room and Deck. From the wide front porch, running along the front of the house, step insidethe foyer and look on into the Great Room with vaulted ceiling and beyond through three sets of double French doors to the massive views of the marsh, Intracoastal Waterway and toward the barrier islands and ocean. Of note in the foyer and Great Room are: Brazillian Cherry Floors; Frazier's Ironworks custom iron stair railing to the second floor; powder room off to the right; gas logs in the marble-framed fireplace; and built-in bookcases on either side of the fireplace. To the left of the foyer is a formal dining room with wainscoting, many built-in cabinets and shelves and one of three unique chandeliers found in this home. From the dining room step through a small hallway and into the grand, eat-in Kitchen with center granite covered island, wet bar and breakfast bar. There is a large eat-in area with buffet, which has many built-in cabinets and shelves as well. Over the table is the second unique and lovely chandelier. Sliding doors lead out onto the deck and another door leads out to the enclosed, heated and cooled Sun-room. New stainless appliances were installed two years ago - gas cook-top, electric wall oven, microwave, and dishwasher. Off of the backside of the kitchen is a Den or Home Office, as well as a separate Laundry Room. Washer and dryer do convey. The first floor Master Suite is off of the Great Room and has its own incredible views of the marsh, ICW and beyond to the ocean. It also has a slate fireplace filled with gas logs. The large master closet can more than accommodate two wardrobes. The dual sink granite vanity, with its gorgeous hammered tin mirror, makes quite an elegant statement in the bathroom. A separate shower, Jacuzzi tub and water closet round out the Master Suite. Upstairs there is an area suited for a small sofa or desk, (behind which is a wall of lined cabinets) and a catwalk overlooking the Great Room below. Again the views from here are incredibly soothing and relaxing. Upstairs there are two bedrooms with a connecting bath and separate shower/water closet. Also upstairs is a very large walk-in storage closet, part of which is the elevator shaft if ever needed and hall linen closet. Being on deep water and the ICW, a dock with covered pier head is a must! Water and electricity run to the edge of the dock from the house. Underneath the house is an enclosed garage and storage area that can accommodate 3 cars. Also underneath is a separate work room or tool room. Built by Daley and Sawyer Construction, you could not find a better custom home on the water near Charleston and Mount Pleasant. Location, location, location!
