Tidal creek living with a beautiful marsh view! Enjoy fishing & crabbing off of your dock at this lovely James Island location. With almost 1/2 acre, the outside living is spectacular here. No HOA, bring your boat or RV. Inside, the attached garage has been converted, this room can be used as a 4th bedroom or what ever suits you. You will love the sunroom with lots of windows to enjoy the water view. The kitchen has been updated with newer appliances and granite counters. The original master bedroom has it's own bath, there are 2 other bedrooms on that side of the house. You will appreciate the retro look along with the updates. There is a 1 car detached garage in the backyard and also a large storage shed, that's being included As Is. Come see this marshfront home!
Such a beautiful lot. Tidal Creek with a dock. Home is very well cared. Hardwood floors, fireplace in living room and a beautiful sun room all across the back of the home. Built in shelves and cabinets in the dining room. Outside you have an additional detached garage and workshop. Beautiful landscaping. Right in the heart of James Island. 10 minutes to the beach or downtown. Fish, boat and kayak right from your own dock. True Lowcountry living.
