If owning an affordable island beach home has always been your heart's desire then your dreams have finally come true! Located just minutes away from the sand & surf of Folly Beach, this James Island cottage has much to offer. Sure, it has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths but let's talk about what makes this home so special. Inside you'll find a large master suite which easily holds a king size bed, and a huge tiled walk-in shower in the master bathroom. The guest bedroom has it's own door to the back yard retreat and the third bedroom can easily be used for an office or flex space. On the rare chilly winter nights there is a cozy wood burning fireplace in the family room. A professional chef currently owns this home so if you're a ''foodie'' you will appreciate all his culinary touchesincluding a nicely furnished kitchen and an active smoke house. The HVAC is only 3 years old and all windows have been recently replaced. Outside, the screened porch is located on the side of the house to catch the breezes from the front and back yards. There is a new deck, which runs the whole length of the back of the home-great for outdoor grilling and entertaining. There is also a marshmallow roasting fire pit. The beautifully landscaped yard has many mature trees including Sago Palms, Palmettos and large Southern Oaks dripping with Spanish Moss. Don't worry about keeping the vegetation lush-there is lawn well with a newer pump for irrigation. Other amenities include a functional three bay compost bin, planted fruit trees, and a large storage shed to accommodate all your gardening /outdoor cooking tools. Good thing there is a privacy fence because there is even an outdoor shower! Come see for yourself why life is better on the island.
