The property is off Little Britton Rd, a true pristine Lowcounty road. At the entrance to the property is an automatic gate and then there is a half mile of driveway thru woodlands. The road opens up to the homestead surrounded by dozens of huge live oaks laden with Spanish moss. Upon entering the home off the foyer is a traditional floor plan. On the right is the living room with fireplace and off to the left is a large dining room. All along the rear, the kitchen, family rm,sun rm and master suite all have river views and lots of light. There are custom cherry cabinets in the kitchen and custom cheery bookcases in the sun rm. The house has abundant storage throughout.

The right wing in a master suite with a sitting rm, dressing rm, his & hers closets and a bathrm fitting to the property and the left wing is an attached 2 car garage and frog. The frog had a bathrm with plumbing but no fixtures as the used it as a dark rm. The reverse osmosis system has two large holding tanks, a 900 and 600 gal. There is a whole house generator powered by a 400 gal. propane tank. The 4 new central heat and air systems were installed in 2006 along with the water heater.
