Wonderful updated house in one of Charleston's most charming older neighborhoods, Riverland Terrace, two blocks from the boat landing and play park at the end of Plymouth Avenue on the Intracoastal Waterway (Wappoo Creek). This is a beautiful neighborhood for running and walking. Walk to the boat landing in three minutes, sit in the shade and enjoy breathtaking views. This three bedroom, two bath home is on a large lot with large stately old oak trees in front (along with an irrigation system), and there is a nice wooden privacy fence around the landscaped backyard. There is a good-sized deck in the back that runs the length of the house, perfect for entertaining and cookouts. There is plenty of parking for a boat and multiple vehicles.House features dual master bedrooms, kitchen with lots of cabinetry, Silestone (quartz) countertops, travertine floors, cast iron sink and prep sink, with stainless steel appliances and cooktop stove. The first master features a claw foot tub, sink and vanity; the second features Jacuzzi tub, two pedestal sinks across from each other, and travertine floors. There is a sort of hidden loft bedroom at the top of the stairs that is extremely cozy. There is a detached carriage house (converted double-garage) with patio that opens into the back yard, and next to it is an open lean-to shed, perfect for lawn mower and tools. Toilets, sinks, tubs, hot water heater and electrical updates to kitchen and baths are only seven years old. The floors were refinished two years ago. The house also has a security system though it is not active right now. And high school students go to OUTSTANDING James Island Charter High School (see below for more info. on JICHS). This house makes you feel like you are at the beach! And you aren't far from it, just 15 minutes to Folly, and 15 minutes to downtown Charleston. The Municipal Golf Course is less than a mile away as are lots of restaurants, bars and entertainment such as the Charleston Crab House, Terrace Theater and Pour House. James Island County Park with Splash Zone, climbing tower and dog park are approximately two miles away. You will LOVE this location and home with its cozy loft bedroom, privacy, deck and carriage house in back, ample parking and charming pleasant neighborhood for running and walking. Even the road is not a traditional two-way road. It is a real parkway with trees and lush green grass in the median separating the two lanes.MORE ON JAMES ISLAND CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL, from their website: ""James Island Charter High School is the only school in Charleston County authorized to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and provides students throughout CCSD an opportunity to participate in an internationally recognized academic program.
