Nestled on a sprawling 0.40-acre lot in the highly desirable White Point community on James Island, this exceptional property offers the perfect blend of privacy, versatility, and modern upgrades, all with no HOA and less than four miles from Downtown Charleston.From the moment you arrive, a spacious front yard and charming front porch create an inviting first impression. Step inside and be captivated by soaring vaulted ceilings, fresh interior paint, updated luxury vinyl plank flooring, and stunning sightlines that lead directly to the backyard retreat. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the open-concept layout flows seamlessly from the entry into the spacious living room, where natural light and picturesque views create an inviting atmosphere.The beautifully renovated kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring new cabinetry, updated appliances, a large center island with seating, a striking backsplash, and abundant natural light. The adjacent dining area and easy access to the screened porch make hosting a joy. There is also a conveniently located laundry room just off the kitchen. A short staircase leads to the private owner's retreat, a luxurious haven highlighted by a remodeled spa-inspired bathroom featuring dual vanities, a stunning new walk-in shower, and a freestanding soaking tub. The unique spiral staircase leading to a private loft create the perfect setting for a home office, reading nook, or creative space. Back on the main level, three additional bedrooms share a well-appointed full bathroom with dual sinks, offering plenty of space for family and guests. One of the home's most exciting features is the fully equipped in-law suite (ADU), complete with its own full kitchen, living room, bedroom, full bath, and private screened porch overlooking the pool. With both interior and exterior access and a recently installed dedicated HVAC system, this versatile space is ideal for multi-generational living, extended guests, a private home office, or potential rental opportunities.* The outdoor living experience is truly extraordinary.
