This completely renovated home in The Crescent is a true showstopper with no detail overlooked. The spacious and well-designed property has impeccably curated finishes, a flowing floor plan, a guest house and private outdoor living spaces including a screened porch, large backyard and private pool--all while being minutes from downtown Charleston. Inside, the inviting floor plan has great natural light and expertly designed living spaces. The entry foyer transitions into a private sitting room and study, with floor to ceiling lacquered bookshelves. From here, the sunlit formal dining room leads to the contemporary kitchen which features custom cabinets, high-end stainless appliances and a dining space. A sun-drenched great room provides a great place to gather and has French doors opening to the screened porch, with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace. Adjoining this space is a den, complete with custom bookshelves and two sets of French doors opening to the backyard to create great indoor-outdoor flow. The newly added master wing is also located on the first floor, opposite of the living spaces. The large bedroom features a fireplace, sitting area and two walk-in closets while the elegantly appointed en suite bathroom has a tiled shower, soaking tub and custom vanity. There is also a butler's pantry with custom cabinets and a spacious laundry room on this floor. The second floor has three additional spacious bedroom suites, each with their own contemporary en suite full bath. An open living room and office are also found on this floor and lead to the third floor, which features a lofted living space along with a full bath. The backyard is a truly private retreat. A dark-bottom pool anchors the space with a spacious grassy area to the side. Mature shrubs and trees make the space incredibly private. The detached guest house (measuring 584 square feet) features three sets of French doors opening to the pool area, cloaking the space in natural light. A living room, full bath and bedroom complete the space. The home is located within The Crescent, one of Charleston's most desirable neighborhoods. You are just minutes from downtown Charleston and a public boat landing, Ripley Light Marina, Porter Gaud School, The West Ashley Greenway, and close to the area beaches.
Not only the best neighborhood, but one of the best locations within The Crescent. 12 Johnson handsomely sits on .40 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with a 2 car garage and a pool with cabana at the rear. One of the highest elevations in the neighborhood, so if flood insurance is a concern, none is required here due to X zone. Walk or bike to one of the best schools nearby and minutes to downtown or the beaches. Masonry exterior is also a plus. The main level offers a comfortable and spacious living room, separate dining room and family room overlooking the rear garden. The recently renovated ''kitchen suite'' offers the best finishes and appliances, with DACOR, SubZero, granite counters and cherry cabinets. The adjacent breakfast room is perfectly sized and overlooks the expansive garden at the rear. Half bath and access to the 2 car garage completes the first level. The second floor gives the new owner plenty of options, 3 guest bedrooms plus the master bedroom, all sunny and bright. 2 full baths on this floor along with access to the third level kids/office space. A half bath is on the third level making it easy to add an additional bath if more bedrooms are needed. The open rear garden is a backyard getaway. Beautifully landscaped, the pool area even has an indoor/outdoor cabana. Turnkey and ready, before school starts. Additional features include a security system, reverse osmosis water system, 2 zone HVAC, gas.
