What a charmer! This classic, english cottage style has just the right mix of Charleston charm. Located on a quiet culdesac, the draping oak that frames the house immediately makes you appreciate living in the lowcountry as it is meant to be enjoyed. This brick, two story home features a welcoming foyer with round windows, a staircase with runner and easy access to the open family room and the L shaped galley kitchen. The kitchen features a sunny breakfast area that overlooks the front yard via the bay window, stainless appliances and grayish granite countertops. Flowing through the galley you will enter the living room/dining room combination with a nice window that enjoys the non-crowded neighborhood view. The rear sunroom acts as a wonderful home office and is nicely separated by the glass door for peace and quiet when needed. Following through the sunroom will provides easy access to the nicely compartmentalized rear garden and access to the detached one car garage (plenty of hardscape to enjoy outdoor living back here). Back in the house and up the stairs you will find 2 nicely proportioned bedrooms and a nice master suite that overlooks the front yard. This is a wonderful home and with a semi-recent landscaping upgrade, the curb appeal alone will start speaking to you like "home" should. A must see for this price range.
