About this home

Tucked within the established and highly sought-after Lawton Bluff neighborhood on James Island, this well-maintained brick ranch offers a refined blend of timeless design and effortless Lowcountry living, all set on a generous, beautifully mature 0.39-acre homesite. As you enter the neighborhood, you are welcomed by picturesque, moss-draped oak trees lining quiet streets, with glimpses of the marsh and Charleston Harbor creating a serene coastal backdrop that defines the Lawton Bluff lifestyle. Located just off Harbor View Road, this exceptional community offers the rare convenience of reaching downtown Charleston in approximately five minutes from nearly anywhere in the neighborhood, an amenity that truly sets it apart.
Inside the home, gleaming hardwood floors and an inviting sense of openness set the tone. The thoughtfully designed kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a spacious layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A cozy sitting area with a fireplace adjoins the kitchen, offering a warm and versatile space that can function as a secondary dining area or intimate gathering room.
The home's layout continues to impress with both a formal dining room and a comfortable family room, providing flexibility for hosting and relaxed living alike. The primary suite offers a private retreat with an en suite bath, while two additional bedrooms are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, ideal for family or guests. Both bathrooms have been updated with stylish tile flooring and a modern vanity in the primary bathroom, adding a fresh, elevated touch.
Beyond the interiors, the expansive, fully fenced-in backyard invites outdoor enjoyment, whether hosting weekend barbecues or simply relaxing under the Lowcountry sky. A large attached two-car garage adds convenience and ample storage.
The roof was replaced just last year, and there is no HOA! With its unbeatable location, charming coastal setting, and enduring value, Lawton Bluff remains one of James Island's most desirable neighborhoods, a truly exceptional place to call home....
