About this home
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. Relax on the screened porch, take a dip in the sparkling in-ground pool featuring fresh replastering, a new pump, and an upgraded filtration system, or unwind in the hot tub with its new heater. The fenced backyard feels like a private resort, surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, with a charming winding pathway leading to a built-in fire pit, perfect for year-round enjoyment.
The two-car garage provides ample space for vehicles, while the adjacent flex room provides a versatile area that can be customized to fit your needs, whether as a fitness room, hobby space, additional storage, or a space tailored to your lifestyle.
Beyond its beauty, this home offers an updated roof and a solar system (2021) with summer electric bills typically under $150. Additional improvements include the replacement of much of the home's polybutylene plumbing and a new garage door.
The location is simply unbeatable. Enjoy being within four miles of Downtown Charleston, Melton Peter Demetre Park, the James Island Yacht Club, local restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores.
Rarely does a property combine this level of space, flexibility, and location. This is more than a home, it's a lifestyle opportunity that truly has it all.
