Discover the Best of James Island Living!Perfectly positioned in the heart of James Island, this beautifully renovated all-brick home delivers on every front for buyers seeking convenience, community, and charm. With a popular grocery store and multiple restaurants within walking distance, everyday essentials are effortlessly close.

When the weekend calls, you're less than 10 minutes from the energy of downtown Charleston and only 15 from the laid-back shores of Folly Beach. Set on a generous third-acre lot with established trees and mature landscaping, the home enjoys a truly special backdrop: over five acres of city-owned wooded green space directly behind the property, part of the James Island Recreation Center and Sports Complex. Ball fields, two playgrounds, a dog park, an indoorgym and gymnastics facility, and a public swimming pool are all just a few doors down -- making this one of the most connected addresses for outdoor and recreational living on James Island.

The home itself has been transformed through two rounds of serious, thoughtful investment. A comprehensive 2019 renovation by the previous owner introduced a new roof and fascia, all-new windows, a 40-gallon water heater, and a freshly paved driveway. The current owners then went further still, delivering a stunning new kitchen with granite sink and high-end appliances, a fully remodeled main bath with an oversized walk-in shower, updated fixtures, and recessed lighting -- plus a refreshed half bath, all-new switches and receptacles, and a brand-new HVAC system with completely replaced ductwork.

The outdoor space received equal attention: a large wood deck, new patio, and brand-new six-foot privacy fence create a private retreat perfect for entertaining, while new structural piers and a complete crawl space vapor barrier provide lasting peace of mind. Families will appreciate being zoned for highly regarded Harborview Elementary and just minutes from James Island Charter High School, with a private daycare conveniently located at the neighborhood entrance. The result is a genuinely move-in-ready home with a unique, flowing floorplan that must be experienced in person.

If you're searching for that unmistakable James Island lifestyle -- the convenience, the community, the coast -- this is the one.
