About This Home

As of July 2018

Open-water views and a dock leading to four feet of water at low tide are highlights of this custom-built cedar-shake home on Secessionville Point. Surrounded by protected historic land, majestic oaks and navigable waters, this half-acre retreat is located within historic Riversville, a 7-lot, 14-acre antebellum village established on Secessionville Creek in 1851 - a desirable community that enjoys the serenity of remote-island living. Architectural details include hardwood floors, high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, reclaimed Turkish woodwork and doors, porcelain knobs, an elevator, and more. Enjoy scenic water views from all rooms in this ''secret'' Lowcountry getaway, just 20 minutes from downtown. There's ample storage between the attic, garage and Bahamian outbuilding.
