About This Home
As of October 2016Welcome to your private, magical oasis located in the desirable Clearview neighborhood on James Island. Nestled on .51 acre with your back yard on the approximately 11-acre freshwater Lake Edmonds, this charming home is sure to take your breath away. When you pull into the driveway, you are greeted by numerous mature oak trees that create a canopy over the property, as well as beautiful Hydrangea bushes, Magnolias, Sago palms and blooming Azaleas. The owner has meticulously maintained this property - even the shutters were hand crafted especially for this home! The driveway has ample parking for multiple cars and there is a separate space for boat parking. Clearview has no HOA.When you enter this Craftsman style home through the kitchen, you are greeted by the uniquelyfinished brick floor. The kitchen boasts a tile back splash, beautiful, gleaming wood countertops, hand built, open cabinets, and a new dishwasher. The kitchen also has an island for additional counter space and convenience as well as a pot rack over the double ovens that were replaced in 2011. Next, as you move into the living room that is open to the kitchen, you can enjoy the picturesque view of the backyard and incredible water views through the updated windows that line the back of the home. The living room also features a wood burning fireplace for you to enjoy on those cold winter nights.
From the living room, you step up into the den thru beautiful pocket doors, complete with hardwood floors, crown molding and plenty of natural light from the windows. The hardwood floors continue into the dining room which also boasts plenty of natural light and a view of the beautiful front yard.
Off of the dining room, you will move through a hallway back into the kitchen. On the right there is an exposed brick faux fireplace that creates a nook perfect for a desk or bar area. On each side of the nook is extra storage with a custom built-in spice rack to the left and pantry on the right. The powder room sits on the left and has gleaming wood countertops as well as an ornamental, decorative sink.
As you proceed up the hardwood stairs to the second floor, you will notice the huge closet that runs the length of the underneath of the stairs for plenty of extra storage. At the top of the stairs, the first bedroom sits to the right and has two closets and features a charming window nook and an updated celling fan. The second bedroom sits on the back of the house and has a large closet and a magnificent water view. As you continue down the hall you will find the separate laundry room with tons of cabinet space and a view of the water.
Next, move into the spacious master bedroom with large, over-sized windows complete with a beautiful view of the water as well as a large walk-in closet. The master bathroom has dual vanities, a separate linen closet and a shower. All of the bedrooms have updated ceiling fans. You will fall in love with this space.
If you've dreamed of a private, serene backyard then you have found what you are looking for. Enjoy all of the nature, wildlife and established trees and shrubs from either the screened porch with painted floors off of the living room or from the stained deck complete with an ornamental privacy guard. You can access the water by meandering along the winding path lined with Azaleas that ends at the dock while you enjoy the other foliage in the backyard including Dogwoods, Camellia, a flowering plum, Ligustrum and saw palmettos. The water has an abundance of wildlife including sea birds such as ibis, anhinga, pelicans, storks, owls and sea hawks. The lake water is filled with fish including large-mouth bass, brim and catfish. As a lakeside homeowner, you are allowed to grab your fishing poles, paddle boards, kyaks, and any other unpowered toys and enjoy! You will be relieved to know the owners report that the home and garage stayed high and dry during the "1000 year flood" of 2015.
The detached over-sized one car garage provides storage for all of your outside tools and also has attic storage above. The garage also has doors on 2 sides making for easy access from storage to the lake or driveway.
The pride in ownership is evident, and this home has updates including the water heater that was replaced in 2011, updated lighting throughout, a new roof that was replaced one year ago that is rated as a SC safe Home Hurricane roof and has a lifetime warranty for mold growth, and Leafguard gutters. The fridge also conveys.
