 Beautiful Log home located on a tidal creek with an amazing view of the sunset. Home is located on 1.46 acres. Large fenced in front yard with just enough trees for shade. While still on the property, you have an undeveloped area of woods that support native wildlife. Directly behind residence, you will find your own private dock that is connected to a tidal creek that is fed from the St. Pierre Creek, which flows to the Edisto River and out to the Atlantic Ocean. Home was built in 2006 as a stand-alone unit with 1640 sq. ft. In 2011, a two car garage and breezeway that connects the two units was added. The garage was finished with a Mother-In-Law suite (FROG). MIL suite is heated and cooled by a separate unit from main house, bringing total living space to 2040 sq ft. All windows have been upgraded by Anderson to Hurricane resistant windows. Custom made wood blinds by Levolor are used thought the residence. This entire residence is equipped with a reverse osmosis system. Located on the back of the residence you will find a two level deck, the upper level is ideal for entertaining and watching the sunset. The lower level has a hot tub to relax in, for when the sunset is just not enough. The main residence consist of 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. On the lower
level as you walk in, you can see the careful planning that went into this home, as you are first greeted by the open Living Room that flows directly into the Kitchen and Dining area. In addition the Master Bedroom, Master Bath, Laundry Room and a Half Bath are located on this floor. The second floor loft is spacious and roomy and contains the second Bedroom and Bathroom. You will also find a seating area that gives an awe inspiring view of outside. As you leave the Main residence and enter the Breezeway you will notice that the same detail to excellence was carried over to the new additions of the residence. Seating was incorporated into the breezeway to turn it into a functioning part of the residence. From the breezeway you enter the mother-in-law suite (FROG) which is an open floor plan. You will also find a full Bathroom with stand up shower located in this MIL suite. Located just below the MIL suite you will find a 2 car garage with plenty of storage space. Even the garage doors are hurricane resistant. Again great time and planning went into creating of this dream home. Living in Middleton Plantation also comes with benefits, you have access to a community dock and boat ramp. Both are located on the St. Pierre Creek within the neighborhood.

What the SELLER SAYS:

The thing I love about the West Ashley area of Charleston is that there's so much to do and you're a short drive from everything that Charleston has to offer. Our neighborhood Carolina Cove is really friendly, quiet and safe. You always see people walking their dogs and greeting each other. We look out for one another. There have been a few times when I've needed the help of my neighbors so I'm thankful for them. Also, our HOA president Nancy is wonderful. I've known her for 9 years. She'll talk to you while she's out walking her dog and will listen to any concerns you may have.

We love to eat at the restaurants in the Avondale area which is like the "downtown" of West Ashley. Avondale has a variety of different restaurants and bars within walking distance of each other. In fact, my husband and I met each other at Pearlz Little Oyster BarTriangle Char & Bar has wonderful Sunday brunches, we love the duck sliders at Voodoo and the pizza at Mellow MushroomAl Di La is an Italian restaurant that we like to go to for date night.

When I bought the property 9 years ago I was drawn to its location. I work Downtown so it was important for me to buy a home with an easy commute to work. We live about 2 minutes from I-526 so we have easy access to I-26. It's only 15-minute drive to the airport. We like to shop and get gas at Costco which is only 3 minutes away. Citadel Mall which has Target, Belk and Dillard's is only a 4-minute drive. If you want to steer away from the major retailers, the shops at Avondale are just 8 minutes away. Another shopping and restaurant area with more "local" stores in West Ashley is South Windermere Shopping Center which is a 10-minute drive.

The Charleston area is wonderful because there's always something to do. I'm a sixth-generation Charlestonian and have lived in Charleston my whole life. I enjoy being a tourist in my own town. The biggest problem is deciding WHAT do to because there's such a variety. We really enjoy getting out and trying new restaurants especially during Restaurant Week. Dining and shopping on King Street on 2nd Sunday is always fun. Bopping in and out of the art galleries during the occasional Art Walk makes for an enjoyable Friday night. Photographing all of the local plantations and historical sites never get old. During the summer we like to meet up with our friends on Folly Beach. There are always different events going on at certain times of the year. Spoleto Festival, Southeastern Wildlife ExpoFood and Wine Festival, The Bridge Runand Family Circle Cup are just a few of them.




A few things that I can mention are that when I bought the property I was drawn to the large open floor plan and how much square footage and bedrooms (3) that I was getting for the price, especially compared to Downtown or Mt. Pleasant. When my friends came over for the first they were shocked at how big it is inside. I love the layout of the bedrooms. My sister lived with me for several years and we had plenty of room and privacy. We even had an extra bedroom for frequent out-of-town guests.


Of course we all like different things, but we enjoy biking, kayaking and photography. Access to the West Ashley Greenway, which is a scenic hiking and biking trail, is only 1 minute away by bike! My husband and I will often jump on our bikes and ride for miles on the Greenway where we'll often run into egrets feeding in the march. We also like to go kayaking in the Kiawah River to see the dolphins and beautiful birds. Day trips to photograph other parts of the Lowcountry is something we enjoy too. Our HOA fee includes water and sewer. Our power bills with SCE&G have been pretty reasonable; however, we always see a spike (like everyone else) in February and August which are our coldest and hottest months. We have our cable and internet with Comcast and have not experienced many problems with them.

What the Seller Says:

Things we love about Charleston are the phenomenal selection of unique and delicious restaurants, the history, the limitless selection of things to do (for all ages), the beaches, and the people here.

Our neighborhood is friendly and quiet, enjoyable for all ages with a park and tennis courts, fantastic for location - minutes from downtown, 26, 526, as well as the wonderful Charlestowne Landing!

We love to eat at Firey Ron's Home Team BBQ! We can ride our bikes there!! They have live music throughout the week. We also love Mex 1The Taco SpotMrs. RosesGroucho’s Deli and all of the wonderful shops and restaurants of the Avondale area (Triangle, Mellow Mushroom, etc)- all of which are seconds from the house.
When we bought the property we were drawn to many different conveniences including Publix being less than a mile from our house, Target and Costco being a quick 5 minute drive, and 26 as well as 526 being right around the corner -- making exploring Charleston easy and convenient.

The West Ashley area of Charleston is wonderful because you are able to enjoy the city without being in the middle of the city. The historical charm is still very present in this area - Charlestowne Landing, the original settlement site of Charleston, is right across the street!

A few other things that I can mention are the schools in the area are fantastic. Orange Grove Elementary School is a top elementary school in Charleston. With a supportive and experienced team of teachers, children as well as parents, will have a wonderful experience!

Of course we all like different things, we enjoy playing tennis (which a park located in our neighborhood), exploring the history of Charleston, as well as the beaches (Sullivan's Island, Isle of Palms, and Folly Beach) are all a quick 15 minute drive. We LOVE to try the various different restaurants not only in West Ashley, but all around Charleston. Finally, we love to enjoy hosting cookouts, oyster roasts, and anything that would allow us to be outside in the comfort of our home - which the West Ashley part of town has allowed us to do with much larger lot sizes.
