Appraisal in hand for $2,020,000! Perfectly positioned on a true tidal creek with boat ramp just moments from deep water access, this exceptional waterfront property combines an extraordinary, no-expense-spared studs-to-subfloor renovation with the very best of Lowcountry living! Just minutes from Charleston Harbor, Morris Island, and Fort Sumter, the property offers a private boat ramp, 7,000-pound boat lift with remote control and auto-stop functionality, private dock with floating dock, and seawall (2017), creating effortless access to some of Charleston's most iconic waterways. Completely transformed inside and out, virtually every component of the residence has been replaced, redesigned, or upgraded. Taken down to the studs and subfloor, the home lives like brand-new constructionwhile preserving the character of its established waterfront setting. Natural light pours through all-new windows, illuminating thoughtfully designed interiors featuring designer lighting, custom finishes, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. A stunning floating staircase serves as an architectural focal point, while a newly constructed fireplace with chimney insert adds warmth and sophistication. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is both beautiful and functional, showcasing quartz countertops, premium appliances, a 36-inch GE Café range, walk-in pantry, office nook, and an impressive scullery complete with its own sink, refrigerator, and microwave drawer. Designed for both everyday living and gracious entertaining, the home offers dual primary suites, custom closet systems in all bedrooms, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The reengineered rear deck with covered roof, integrated lighting, ceiling fan, and louvered lower level captures cooling waterfront breezes while creating exceptional spaces for relaxation and entertaining. A welcoming new front porch further enhances the home's curb appeal and charm. Beyond the cosmetic transformation, significant infrastructure improvements provide peace of mind for years to come, including all-new electrical systems, PEX plumbing supply lines, PVC sewer lines, insulation, drywall, doors, new roof, interior paint, and a tankless water heater. A whole-home generator with dedicated stand ensures comfort and security regardless of conditions. Outside, newly installed sod, irrigation, and professional landscaping complete the property's resort-like setting. This is a rare opportunity to own a thoroughly reimagined waterfront residence where every detail has been carefully curated and every major system thoughtfully upgraded. Offering a large .43 acre lot, No HOA, luxurious modern living, and one of Charleston's most coveted waterfront lifestyles, this is truly a turnkey coastal retreat unlike anything else on the market.
Lighthouse Point, located between the Stono River and Charleston Harbor, is a waterfront and residential James Island neighborhood with marsh-edge views and a boat-ready, low-slung streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Harbor View Road and Fort Johnson Road corridor, where marinas, bait-and-tackle counters, and dockside comings-and-goings set the daily rhythm. Architecture leans coastal—raised homes, deep porches, and wide driveways built for salt air and gear. The shoreline geography shapes life here, with tidal creeks and working docks framing morning walks and sunset drives. Nearby cultural anchors like the South Carolina Aquarium and the Charleston Maritime Center keep the water theme front and center.
