Property Description

Nestled in downtown's Longborough, this marshfront home embodies Lowcountry living with covered porches, views of the water from most rooms and an expertly-designed interior. The elevated home has three floors of living space with an elevator. A covered, wrap-around front porch welcomes you into the home, which features a open, light-filled floor plan. The kitchen and living room were remodeled in 2012 with nice details including heart pine floors, pecky cypress accents, a fireplace, built-in bookshelves, custom cabinets, high-end stainless appliances, a center island and a spacious dining area. Large windows look out over the water and there is a covered porch with a built-in grilling area. There is also a formal living room with multiple sets of French doors to the porch, a second fireplace and built-in bookshelves. The master bedroom suite is located on the second floor of the home. A cypress ceiling adds warmth, while large windows and a private covered porch allow for great natural light with views of the water. The en suite bath features dual vanities, a steam shower, a contemporary soaking tub and a walk-in closet. There are two additional bedrooms on this floor that share a Jack and Jill bath with a subway tile tub/shower. On the third floor, there are two extra bedrooms and a full bath. One of the rooms is currently being used as a media room, with a wall of built-in bookshelves and views of the water. Since the home is elevated, there is also space on the first floor which has been configured into an office, storage room and dining space. The property is one of the largest lots in neighborhood with lush landscaping, a large brick courtyard and a grassy yard that borders the marsh and offers stunning views of the water. The owners have completed extensive updates to the home including a new roof, new windows, a natural gas generator, spray foam insulation in the attic and more. It is located next to the Longborough Green Space, while Hampton Park and local restaurants are right around the corner.
