About This Home

As of May 2025

This beautiful, three bedroom two bath is situated on the marsh and nestled among 3 grand oaks at the head of Johns Island. This home was originally a schoolhouse that was converted into a beautiful oasis. The primary bedroom, boasts a custom bath as well as a screen porch for enjoying nature right out of your bedroom. The large back deck is great for barbecuing and enjoying the Lowcountry sunsets. Just across the road is the Limehouse boat launch and the oversized garage is the perfect place to store your boats, and cars while still having a workshop. Don't let this one get away from you, it is truly a Lowcountry gem
