Set on nearly half an acre beneath a canopy of protected Grand Live Oaks, this 1961 mid-century estate in The Crescent offers a rare combination of established Lowcountry character and genuine renovation opportunity. Five bedrooms and three full and one half baths are arranged across two stories and roughly 3700 square feet, with an in-ground pool, an attached two-car garage, and a private, lake-adjacent lot that has been in the same family since the home was built.Original mid-century bones -- cedar exterior, slate and hardwood flooring, a wood-burning family room fireplace, and classic room-by-room formality (separate living and dining, sunroom, breakfast room, foyer) -- are ready for a buyer's vision, whether that's a sensitive renovation that honors the era or new construction that makes the most of this exceptional lot. Public water and sewer, central HVAC, and a whole-home natural gas generator are already in place. The Crescent is one of West Ashley's most established addresses, wrapped around Wappoo Cut and two neighborhood lakes, with the West Ashley Greenway, South Windermere shops and restaurants, and the Ashley River bridge into downtown Charleston all just minutes away. Charleston International Airport and area beaches are both an easy drive. Being sold as-is. This is a foundation-up opportunity in one of West Ashley's most desirable, tree-canopied settings -- bring your vision.
