As of March 2016Beautiful home in the coolest little neighborhood on the Isle of Palms! Renovated home, gorgeous trees, SCREENED-IN PORCH AND SCREENED-IN IN-GROUND POOL! Take a short walk or golf cart to the beach, or just stay at home and enjoy the pool! There is a golf cart path that leads to a covered golf cart shed with charging station! This is a great family home and great family neighborhood, but this home has also had a very successful recent history as a vacation rental--details available on request! The home is lovely, with beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen has ceramic tile floors, tile countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Updated bathrooms with upscale fixtures. The screened porch and screened pool are just amazing! And beautiful, mature landscaping and trees. MORE!!Refrigerator, medium-sized extra fridge, and stackable washer/dryer combo to convey with acceptable offer! And, by the way, flood insurance is required, but we had zero flooding and zero water issues during the historic fall 2015 floods!!! All information, including taxes, square footage, schools, acreage, and flood zone info, has been collected carefully and should be accurate but is SOLELY subject to independent verification by buyer / buyer's agent.
