1411 Westway DriveCharleston, SC 29412Price: $649,000

Tucked into a quiet James Island neighborhood just minutes from downtown Charleston, 1411 Westway Drive is one of those rare finds that checks every box. Peaceful street. Massive backyard. Completely updated inside and out. And a location that puts you everywhere you need to be in under 20 minutes.The outdoor living space is the crown jewel. A striking American elm anchors the backyard, while an expansive deck, custom fire pit, and locally artisan-crafted furniture create a setting that feels more like a private retreat than a suburban backyard. The fence and deck are both under a year and a half old, built with longevity and privacy in mind.Inside, the home was thoughtfully reimagined rather than simply refreshed. Walls came down to open the kitchen and main living area into a cohesivmodern layout. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a laundry room were added. The kitchen was taken down to the studs and rebuilt with gray cabinetry, black hardware, stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, and a custom shiplap island that anchors the space beautifully. The mechanical side of the home is just as solid. New floors, wiring, ductwork, plumbing, water lines, air handler, and water heater, all replaced within the last year and a half. This is a home you move into without a checklist. Nestled near the historic Stono River, with King Street, Park Circle, MUSC, College of Charleston, and The Citadel all within 20 minutes and I-526 just 4 minutes away, the lifestyle here is hard to beat.
