This stunning home feels brand new and boasts exceptional finishes and upgrades that set it apart!

An abundance of large windows creates an airy and inviting atmosphere. The high ceilings and coastal inspired palette make you feel right at home. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring an oversized island adorned with shiplap and stainless appliances including a gas stove and hood vent. A large pantry offersample storage, while recessed lighting highlights quartzite countertops, creating a perfect workspace for culinary creations. The cozy breakfast area is ideal for casual meals, while the larger dining room provides a more formal setting for hosting guests, all part of a thoughtfully designed layout that prioritizes functionality. The oversized den serves as an ideal gathering place for family and friends, with an adjacent half bath that is convenient for guests. Step outside to the generous covered patio, where you can savor al fresco dining and take full advantage of Charleston's mild climate. The fenced backyard offers plenty of grass to play with minimal upkeep so that you can enjoy Beachwalker Park at Kiawah Island, surfing at Folly Beach, or the historic sites of Downtown Charleston - all within a 15 to 25 minute drive! Upstairs, discover a spacious primary suite complete with its own private porch - perfect for unwinding after a busy day. The suite features an enviable walk in closet and an exceptional primary bath equipped with a tiled standing shower, separate soaking tub, private water closet, and a generously sized dual vanity that provides ample storage. Upstairs, you will find two additional bedrooms, both featuring spacious closets, which share a full bath. The laundry room is equipped with built-in cabinetry, and the loft serves as a fantastic flexible space that can be used as a playroom, home office, or secondary den. This is a wonderful opportunity to live in a highly sought after location within Whitney Lake! The lifestyle here is perfect for those who enjoy scenic water views while walking or biking, as well as a park-like atmosphere and access to a community dock. Commuters will appreciate the close proximity to bridge access connecting both James Island (Maybank Hwy) and West Ashley (Main Rd). Don't miss out on this home, as it won't last long!
