Located in Candlewood, a mature subdivision with tree lined streets in Mount Pleasant, is 1508 Wakendaw Drive. This 1,2600 square foot one-story brick ranch house sits on a high crawl space and features three bedrooms and two full baths. 1508 Wakendaw was built in 1979, when Candlewood was first subdivided as a new residential neighborhood. A common and ever-popular feature for ranch houses of this era is a perfect floor plan - the open layout between the kitchen and living room area is ideal for families and visiting, but the bathrooms and bedrooms are located off of a quiet hallway on the other half of the house. The front facade has a cross gable over the living area, a popular design feature of ranch homes of the late Mid Century Modern era to. The large living room has lovneotraditional features including exposed timber beams along the ceiling and a wood burning fireplace with a large and cozy brick hearth. The spacious eat-in kitchen has new stainless appliances, beautiful custom cabinetry in warm maple wood, a tiled backsplash, and granite countertops. There are oak floors in the living areas, while the bedrooms have new wall to wall carpet and large closets. The master bedroom features a tiled full bath with tub/shower and new sink and vanity. The second bathroom has floor to ceiling travertine tile and a walk-in shower with glass doors. The house even boasts a large separate laundry room with storage and workspace. This home has been lovingly maintained and was recently renovated with new kitchen and bathroom finishes, updated trim throughout, and new low maintenance, energy efficient double-glazed windows. Sliding glass back doors off of the living room lead to a large balustraded outdoor deck perfect for dinner with friends, and which overlooks a large, lush fenced in backyard. The house has solar panels, making it green and keeping energy costs low. 1508 Wakendaw's tree lined lot is next to a quiet cul-de-sac. Candlewood is convenient to everything- it is near Mark Clark Expressway and US 17 for shopping and commuting to Charleston, is just a short trip from Isle of Palms Beach, and is near top-performing Charleston County schools. This peaceful neighborhood is perfect for a family and is near Hobcaw Creek and Lake Wakendaw for residents who enjoy fishing and coastal life.
