Look no further for your own serene John's Island retreat, tidal creek views are framed by grand ancient oaks and mature landscaping. Equipped with both a dock and a floating dock, it's easy access to Charleston by water via the Stono River (except at low tide). It's a private oasis that must be seen in person to fully grasp the natural beauty. As wonderful as the photos are, they do not do the property full justice. This cozy three bedroom, two bath cottage comes completely furnished and makes a great investment property as a furnished rental. Views from the dining room take your breath away and the open family room has more than one seating nook. Off the kitchen, the one car garage has a walk up loft. There is work space and laundry in the garage as well.What makes this home a true gem is its proximity to everything. The West Ashley Greenway is steps away, the Limehouse Boat Landing is less than a mile away and shopping is too. Listing agent believes all information on the MLS to be correct, however, buyers should verify all information important to them. If square footage is important MEASURE!!! All information, including but not limited to HOA info, acreage, taxes, square footage, flood zone info, and schools, is solely subject to independent verification by buyer/buyer's agent.

The brick ranch has textured (popcorn) ceilings and recent renovations include yard work and bathrooms. Both bathrooms have new subway tile showers with thick dark grout lines. The two bedrooms and main living areas have wood floor with some...
patches, the original kitchen has a newer tile floor. The cooking appliances and cabinetry are original (charming) but the single wall oven is small by current standards. There is a newer dishwasher and room for a stacked washer/dryer in the kitchen too. From the kitchen there are steps down to a finished single garage and the FROG is accessed by steep steps from the garage space. The yard has a park-like feel with an expansive grassy area, a patio with fire pit and access to a tidal creek with docks. From the front porch you can see Main road and listen to the train, the property is very convenient to Highway 17 and the Limehouse bridge over the intra-coastal waterway, the boat launch (Stono River/Limehouse) approximately a mile away.
