Tucked beneath a canopy of centuries-old live oaks draped in silver moss, this timeless Charleston home, with its own private island, feels as if it's been part of the landscape forever. The gentle hush of the tides, the rustle of marsh grasses, and the soft chorus of cicadas set the rhythm of life here, unhurried, graceful, and deeply rooted in the beauty of the Lowcountry.Tucked beneath a canopy of centuries-old live oaks draped in silver moss, this timeless Charleston retreat feels as if it's been part of the landscape forever. The gentle hush of the tides, the rustle of marsh grasses, and the soft chorus of cicadas set the rhythm of life here, unhurried, graceful, and deeply rooted in the beauty of the Lowcountry. From the wide front porch, rocking chairs inviteyou to linger over morning coffee and enjoy the sun begin to peak through the oak trees as a new day begins. In the evening, retreat to your covered back porch to watch the gorgeous sunset as the light glimmers across the water, turning the creeks into ribbons of gold. A salty breeze whispers through the trees, carrying the faint call of a heron in flight. Inside, this gracious five-bedroom residence blends Charleston charm with coastal ease, offering heart pine floors, soaring ceilings, and rooms that open to the outdoors at every turn. Thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained, every inch of this home reflects timeless craftsmanship and high-level finishes, creating a sanctuary of comfort, elegance, and natural beauty, all within a property that does not require flood insurance. Step inside and feel immediately at ease. The light-filled living areas open gracefully to sweeping water views, with generous rooms for gathering and quiet corners for reflection. The main level features a formal dining room, a casual living room, a well-appointed kitchen, and a spacious formal living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings by the fire. A sunlit office, which can also serve as a fifth bedroom, adjoins a peaceful sunroom, while a beautiful covered porch along the back invites year-round enjoyment of the coastal breeze. Upstairs, the third floor offers the primary suite and a second bedroom and ensuite. The primary bedroom is a true sanctuary, complete with a wood-burning fireplace in the sitting area, a luxurious ensuite bath, generous closets, and a private Juliette balcony overlooking the sparkling water, a perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or watch the sunset paint the sky in shades of gold and rose. The first level provides two additional bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath, along with a private den, a tranquil atrium, and a screened porch ideal for relaxing in the shade and savoring the serenity of the setting. This level also includes a spacious garage, adding both convenience and storage. Outdoor living is elevated throughout the property, with multiple porches designed for year-round enjoyment. The lush, landscaped yard unfolds like a private garden, framed by ancient oaks and native plantings, offering both beauty and seclusion. As twilight settles, lanterns flicker, the water mirrors the stars, and the island across the way hums with the quiet magic of nature at rest. Across the water, a beloved private island awaits, a sanctuary for afternoon picnics, sunset walks, oyster roasts or quiet reflection under the shelter of oaks and palmettos. It is your secret place, a wild and wonderful extension of the home. This is more than a home. It is a place where memories linger, where time slows, and where every sunrise brings a renewed sense of gratitude for life along the water's edge. This is quintessential Charleston, where history, beauty, and serenity meet beneath the moss-draped oaks of the Lowcountry, and where elegance meets ease in a life well-lived by the water.
