Located in Fort Lamar on James Island, this lake front elevated home with an elevator is unbelievable! You are greeted by palm trees that hug the driveway, beautiful landscaping and a wrap around front porch with TWO hanging swings. Inside you'll find an open concept floor plan with a cathedral ceiling, fireplace and granite kitchen with a center island, gas range and ground to ceiling windows that look out to the water. The sun room is drenched with natural light and a very relaxing space. The master suite has a serene en-suite bath with a fireplace above the jetted tub as well as access to the deck. A covered patio looks out to the dock where you can fish and launch your kayak! This is a stunning home and extremely rare location that is not to be missed!
BOM, BANK APPROVED SHORT SALE FOR $300,000 - BUYER FINANCING FELL THROUGH! Enter this home and prepare to be amazed with a beautiful backdrop of lake views. This elevated construction in Fort Lamar is situated on a saltwater lake stocked for fishing. The dock is in place! This home gets better with every step. From the full front porch, you come in to a wide open floor plan with gleaming hardwood floors. To the left the living area with a fireplace...cozy! To the right, an area for dining that could afford to seat a large family, or loads of friends. The kitchen has a full glass window overlooking the lake, stainless built-in microwave and oven and an granite island with bar seating and cabinet space underneath! All of this is hard to recognize, because from everywhere you can stand in any of these areas...you have a lake view! Step out onto a porch that allows you to absorb all of the outdoors. Glassed in living space starting on the lake and wrapping around to meet the full front porch. From the living area, on the right french doors that take you to the master suite, windows providing lake views again. The master bedroom has a private deck and the bath has a gas fireplace, huge whirlpool bathtub overlooking the water views as well! Down the hall,the 2nd and 3rd spacious bedrooms. Take the stairs down to what feels like another address. Two bay garage, with each bay allowing 2 cars each. Find an enclosed area that was used for a personal office...it too has a window looking over the lake. There are sections for workshop, greenhouse (a place for the plants in the winter), a closet for all of your Costco purchases (bulk buying!). The backyard has a seating place under the trees, a patio and the best is the short walk on a short dock that allows some adirondack time looking at the water. In the last year the seller has replaced the roof, HVAC and the gutters. If you make arrangements for your personal tour, these words do not touch the amazing qualities that this home has to offer.
