The second floor maintains this sense of grandeur with nine-foot ceilings, architectural arch details, and cozy landing nooks. The master retreat serves as a true sanctuary, complete with plantation shutters, custom built-in bookcases, and an art niche that leads into a sprawling en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. For the hobbyist, the detached garage is a standout feature, offering a fully finished and painted interior with built-in shelving and two large work tables. The experience continues outdoors in a private, shady backyard that has been meticulously curated as a bird-friendly paradise. A lush mix of native and tropical plantings surrounds a stunning lighted bluestone patio and fire pit area, creating the ultimate setting for evening gatherings. Practicality meets beauty with a small raised garden for the hobbyist, a French drain system, and LeafFilter guards for easy maintenance. Best of all, this retreat is perfectly positioned for the ultimate Charleston lifestyle: you are less than ten miles from both the Charleston International Airport and the historic downtown peninsula, and just a thirty-minute drive from the award-winning sands of Beachwalker Park on Kiawah Island. This is more than a home; it is a meticulously maintained sanctuary in one of Charleston's most vibrant communities.
