About This Home
As of September 2025Welcome to 5254 E Dolphin Street - a beautifully renovated home in Oak Terrace Preserve, perfectly balancing modern upgrades with warm, inviting spaces. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to create a home that's as functional as it is stylish.Step inside to a bright, welcoming living room, where a floating electric fireplace with a custom mantle serves as the centerpiece. Flanked by built-in storage, it offers cozy ambiance and practical space for books, media, or decor.The custom-designed dining room is equally impressive, featuring built-in bookcases and bench seating that combine charm, character, and comfort -- perfect for family dinners or hosting friends.At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen boasts new countertops, custom cabinetry,a beautiful custom range hood, eye-catching backsplash, and brand-new appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen you'll enjoy additional storage from the custom designed shelving and cabinets.
The primary suite, located on the main level, offers built-in dresser and bed (which can convey), custom storage in the walk-in closet, and a striking updated ensuite with a tiled walk-in shower. A laundry area and powder room complete the main level.
Upstairs, you'll find a spacious guest room with a walk-in closet, stage, and generous flex space. An additional bedroom and full bath complete the second level. Fresh, cohesive design flows throughout the home with all-new flooring upstairs and down.
Step outside to a large screened porch that's ready to host your friends and family. The storage building, carport, and pavered backyard offer plenty of room for gatherings, and the home enjoys a prime location next to one of the community's HOA-maintained pocket parks.
Major system updates offer peace of mind: new gutters, HVAC replaced in 2020, tankless water heater added in 2022, all new light fixtures, and upgraded switches and receptacles throughout.
From the thoughtfully designed interiors to the vibrant neighborhood, this isn't just a house it's the backdrop for your next chapter.
Oak Terrace Preserve is a sustainable community where all homes are green certified. Neighborhood green spaces and pocket parks set the stage for a vibrant calendar of events, including monthly food trucks, outdoor movie nights, an annual oyster roast/Lowcountry boil, BBQ cook-off, and festive holiday celebrations.
