NICEST HOUSE IN I'ON UNDER $750,000ready to move in. This home has unparalled privacy, very rare and unusual in I'On, since it is surrounded by woods on three sides with the I'On Rookery directly across the street. There are homes on only one side of the street--so relax on the big wraparound porch and admire the expansive view of nature and woods with geese, ducks and wildlife flying down to the lake in the Rookery, rather than a house across the street! The home has an open floor plan on the ground floor, with a spacious main room, gas fireplace, kitchen and adjacent pantry and den. The upstairs has three bedrooms and two full baths. The master bedroom has a large master bath, dual vanity, oversized tile shower and large soaking tub, with a big walk in closet. The two other bedroomsare a good size and very private, with lovely views of the adjacent woods. Extra features include granite countertops, maple cabinetry, built in bookshelves, great sound system in main room, master bedroom, and master bath, hardwood floors throughout, stainless steel appliances, a fenced yard perfect for your pets, and much more! The home has a nice yard, also rare in I'On, and private parking area in back with a large shed. The I'On club pool, tennis courts, workout facilities, club house and new restaurant are "in the back yard"you get to use them but don't have to maintain them! Transferrable membership to I'On club included. Brand new O'Quinn School of Mt. Pleasant is a five minute walk, or 2 minute bike ride with your tot! The Mt. Pleasant Montessori charter school is 1/2 block away. Walk 1.5 blocks to O'Brion's pub or Carter's Kitchen for supper, or the Square Onion for lunch. The Creek Club, swimming on Hobcaw Creek, and the community deep water docks and boat ramp are also within walking distance. The I'On village community received the 2001 National Association of Builders award for "Best Smart Growth Community in the Nation" for its unique aesthetic and was designed as a Lowcountry "walking village." It is situated along Hobcaw Creek with walking trails around large lakes and tree-lined streets, fine eateries and offices you can walk to at the front of the neighborhood. It is roughly 1 mile away from conveniences like Whole Foods and Trader Joes. A short 10-15 minute drive to historic downtown Charleston or the beaches at Sullivan's Island make this location highly sought after and a wonderful place to call home!
