Inside, the open-concept layout is filled with natural light and thoughtful upgrades, creating a bright and modern space perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Step out onto your spacious balcony or unwind in the screened porch - both perfect spots to watch dolphins play, herons glide by, and marsh grasses sway in the breeze.

And, you will be just 20 minutes or so to downtown historic Charleston. The tranquil, ever changing marsh and river views will never get old! Whether you're seeking a peaceful primary residence or chic vacation home, this waterfront gem delivers the best of Lowcountry living wrapped in comfort and style.
