177 Tall Pines Rd, Ladson, SC 29456

Do not look at the interior of this house (which is charming and just right for you). Seriously. Do not bother with checking out the inside at all. Yes, it is freshly painted throughout, but nevermind that. There is something else entirely that will make you buy this one today. If you were to come at this thing the regular way, you couldn't help but notice the shady, peaceful front yard with cheery little flowerbeds inviting you up to the front porch. You might even notice grass thriving under the trees or the fact that the house is just two doors down from the Tall Pines pool. If you did insist on going through the front door first, your eye would be drawn to the great room with its soaring ceilings, updated paint and sturdy hearth. You'd see the fireplace insert and start thinking about the coming winter and how warm and snug you'd feel with a little blaze going. But, that's getting ahead of yourself. Don't go in through the front door. There is a better path. Yet your imagination is already inside? In the family room, looking into the eat-in kitchen, where you notice the revitalized flooring and the accent wall that sets off the recent kitchen remodel. Black appliance package, sleek and smooth and perfect for the space. And you wonder whether the refrigerator is negotiable? (It is!) You forget for a moment that you haven't even entered the home, and that you are simply imagining the master suite at the back of the house (maximum privacy and quiet) with its updated bathroom. You are noting the charming secondary bedrooms that are brighter and more spacious than you'd expect. You could even be thinking of the full funky office/gameroom in the FROG. You are excited about all this, and you haven't even opened the front door yet. But seriously, don't go in that way. Take a few steps to the right, past the rose bushes and lillies at the end of the house and through the charming garden gate. This is the path to take if you want to fall in love with this house. Take the river-rock gravel path through the tiny flowering garden towards the sound of the fountain beyond. You might not even notice the clever little shed added to the house on your left, because your eye will be drawn to the enormous, lush, private, endless-possibilities back yard. The lot is over a third of an acre. It backs to an easement and woods beyond. Room for pets. Room for kids. Room for a garden. This is a lot worth buying a house for. But don't linger looking at it too long because you want to discover the main attraction. The seller knew a good thing when he saw that lot, and to take maximum advantage, he added a soaring cathedral of a screen room, a 17X20 open all the way to the rafters, cathedral of a porch. You have to see this space to get a sense of how unique it is and how much quality went into it and how much you will love living in it.
