Located in historic Secessionville along the banks of the Clark Sound only 20 minutes from downtown Charleston, this stunning James Island estate leaves no detail untouched and epitomizes Lowcountry living. With an abundance of privacy and unobstructed water views. The incredible view from all rooms and the magnificent pool deck overlook the water, the marsh and allows a glimpse of the Charleston Harbor and Sullivan's Island lighthouse, this property is truly one of a kind. In 2008, the property was significantly extended and was designed for outdoor living with multiple outdoor entertaining areas including two large screened porches, a rooftop terrace, and an expansive deck with a pool overlooking the marsh, sound and mature oaks. Additionally, an external building was built to be used as a studio with workshop or guest house. The following year extensive landscaping was designed to include the addition of beautiful trees, shrubbery and a vegetable garden. The redesign also included hardscape of walkways, patios and a privacy front gate. LED lighting was intricately placed throughout the grounds to showcase the additions. You'll want to spend all of your time on the rear deck which overlooks the water and marsh. In 2012, the house was renovated to include the addition of two sunrooms, a breakfast nook, and updated kitchen and bathrooms and energy saving measures were realized with geo thermal heat pumps and foam insulation . The home is basked in natural light--with floor to ceiling windows looking out over the pool and water. The floor plan is incredibly open with the living room, eat-in kitchen and sunroom flowing together to create an ideal set-up for everyday living or entertaining. Tall ceilings, built-in bookcases, a fireplace, granite counters, stainless appliances further enhance the space. The expansive master suite is located upstairs and features a sitting room along with a large bedroom with walls of windows looking out over the water. A secondary master is located on the opposite wing of the house with a private porch and elegantly appointed en suite bath. Three additional guest bedrooms are located on the first floor and in the guest house, including a guest suite with a full bath and access to a covered deck. The guest house is used as a light-filled studio space and has a full bath with a sauna and two screened porches. A shared dock extends into the Clark Sound with easy access to the Charleston Harbor. This dock is shared with 4 other homeowners and the low HOA costs are shared among the homeowners. The property is on James Island, so you are located 5 minutes to Folly Beach and only 20 minutes to beautiful downtown Charleston. ​
