The 5 Bedroom/2.5 Bath home has a wrap-around porch so there is always a view with a breeze. The large 1/3 acre lot sits at the end of a private driveway and boasts two beautiful grand Live Oaks. The cottage style home has plaster walls, 12' ceilings, cedar siding, tin roof, and lots of charm! Enjoy your morning coffee and evening cocktail off the spacious back porch with views of Fort Sumter, the Charleston peninsula, and Crab Bank. Approved OCRM/DHEC Dock Permit in hand.
