Nestled back off the road with an environmentally protected wooded lot on the left side for maximum privacy. A welcoming entrance and a dining area (currently being used as a study) connects to the well equipped kitchen. All appliances in the kitchen to convey including the washer/dryer and refrigerator. There is a countertop in the kitchen for barstools and granite countertops throughout. The adjacent family room has a wood burning fireplace and a door to the beautiful back yard that is filled with perennials and annuals. This home has an abundance of natural light which is obvious from the foyer to the family room, as well as upstairs in all of the bedrooms!The owners have added lots of upgrades! A wide staircase leads upstairs where the carpet was changed out for easy to clean, dust free, water proof vinyl flooring. There are 3 bedrooms on the 2nd floor including a very spacious master which leads to a recently screened in porch overlooking the beautiful front yard. The master has 2 walk-in closets and the attached master bath has a double vanity, a full tub, a separate shower enclosure, complete with a rain head shower! Almost every window looks out on to trees and nature. At the back, a charming Charlestonian fountain overlooks the pond enjoyed from the backyard seating area or through the beautiful, new, all clear storm door from the comfort of the living room. Wildlife is abundant, including daily visits by humming birds, butterflies and pileated woodpeckers! The front and back yards are fully covered by a recently installed irrigation system. The garage can accommodate 2 cars and serves as storage for bikes, tools and several racks. There is great spacing between houses which is something hard to find in the new constructions coming up in the area. This is an X flood zone.

*LIMITED TIME PRICE* THIS ONE HAS IT ALL! IDEAL LOCATION...PRIVACY...LARGE LOT.. 2100+ SQUARE FEET HOUSE IN TURN KEY CONDITION PLUS MANY UPGRADES AND SO MUCH MORE... Say HELLO to 1661 Jessy Elizabeth Rd, a GORGEOUS (3) bedroom, (2.5) bath house that was just built in 2015 so builder warranty(s) may convey & a LOCATION THAT TRULY OFFERS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. Situated on Johns Island and only a minutes drive to Historic Charleston or SEVERAL BEACHES, it offers the privacy of a RURAL LIFESTYLE but without sacrificing the desirable amenities you receive from living in the City or along the Coast! Almost like an extension of the St Johns Crossing, this 6 lot community with plans of expansion in the near future (should help values rise) it's the perfect opportunity to own what may be the beproperty in the neighborhood. I back this up by pointing the following out: it's the LARGEST LOT BY FAR out of the original (6) parcels. Its 0.48 of an Acre (lot line extends into the wetlands) and backs up to a POND (which usually has a "lot premium" when purchasing in a "New Construction" home). It not only has the wetlands buffer on one side of the home but the pond behind the home should prevent any type of future constructions behind the home. What does that mean....MORE PRIVACY! The best part is the pond doesn't take up any of the actual lot so there's plenty of room in the back yard for some of the outdoor activities you enjoy! The well manicured lawn provides the curb appeal and the freshly planted Orange, Lime and Avocado Trees are an added bonus while the LARGE DETACHED GARAGE and long paved driveway offer plenty of room for parking. Staying true to the Charleston style, you will surely love the TWO FULL COVERED PORCHES found on both the 1st and 2nd floor and make an ideal place to catch up on some R & R! Although you're probably ready to make an offer, let's NOW HEAD INSIDE, SHALL WE...? Upon entering, you will instantly notice the GORGEOUS HARDWOOD FLOORING THROUGHOUT AND A MASTERFULLY PLANNED LAYOUT. Standing in the foyer, to your right is a SEPARATE DINING ROOM with FRENCH DOORS that add a nice touch of elegance for a fine dining experience. Making your way to the rear of the 1st floor is where you will find a MASSIVE MODERN OPEN FLOOR-PLAN that hosts an Eat-in-Kitchen and Living Room. This desirable layout allows you to interact with guests while working whipping up the days feast in your DECKED OUT KITCHEN. It BOASTS MANY UPGRADES that include but may not be limited to: Granite Counters, Stainless Appliances, Recessed Lighting, Breakfast Bar, 42 inch Cabinetry and more....The 9 ft. smooth ceilings really help set the it off but the well placed fireplace puts it over the top....Oh, let's not forget about the half bath which is a MUST in today's two story floor-plans! Lastly, you have outside access to the back yard/patio that overlooks a small pond. Heading upstairs to the 2nd story, is where you will find all 3 bedrooms and 2 FULL BATHS. The guest bedrooms feature wall to wall carpet, ceiling fan and are ample size. They also share a full bath and while all so far has been great, the MASSIVE MASTER SUITE is the show stopper. I mean it has it all.....with wall to wall carpet, ceiling fan, walk-in closet and outside access to the 2nd story porch what else could you ask for......? Oh, how about a MASTER BATH WITH DUAL VANITIES AND GARDEN TUB w/SEPARATE STAND UP SHOWER! With the growth we are seeing in the 29455 zip code and by growth I mean about a 7% INCREASE IN THE MEDIAN PRICE YTD (compared to the same period in 2015) along with a LACK OF COMPETITION and our ATTRACTIVE PRICING, all suggest this one should not be available for long. Now is the time to strike as they have plans to expand the neighborhood and with that usually comes price increases. **NEWS FLASH: THIS HOME HAS NOW WEATHERED TWO MASSIVE STORMS EXTREMELY WELL AND CAME OUT IN MINT CONDITION! THAT IS SOMETHING TO BE SAID AND JUST ONE OF SO MANY REASONS WHY THIS NEEDS TO BE ON YOUR RADAR *** ***AGENTS MUST READ NOTES & WE HAVE UPLOADED A PLETHORA OF DOCUMENTATION FOR YOU TO USE AND ALSO CHECK OUT THE VIRTUAL FLOOR-PLAN....*** Buyer to confirm accuracy of all information available!
