Property Description

Nestled peacefully along the marsh in the heart of West Ashley, this charming two-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage offers a rare blend of serenity, character & potential. It also offers a MAJOR BONUS with the inclusion of the adjacent vacant lot! This extra parcel--complete with its own tax map number--opens the door to expansion. Whether you're looking for investment, to create a multi-generational homestead, build a guest house, or just treasure the added privacy, the possibilities are generous.The house itself is cozy. Large windows frame the green surroundings. The layout is sensible & unfussy. The primary bedroom is a comfortable retreat, while the second bedroom offers flexibility as a guest room, home office, or creative studio.The property greets you with a landscape that feels more like a secret garden than a backyard. Lovingly cultivated over the years, the grounds are nothing short of magical. Fruit trees dot the landscape- navel and Satsuma oranges, two varieties of grapefruit, figs, & crab apples. Mature elderberries nestle among countless native & exotic plants. A network of winding paths leads you through this lush oasis, connecting shaded corners & sunny nooks, raised garden beds, & vibrant bursts of color. The outdoor spaces encourage the kind of indoor-outdoor lifestyle that Lowcountry residents treasure. Multiple decks & screen porches provide the perfect place for a morning coffee or evening conversation. With a little pruning, you'll be able to watch as the sun sets over the marsh. A durable metal roof (2017) & new Trane HVAC (2024), provide peace of mind for years to come. The rest? That's up to your vision- updating finishes, adding modern touches, or simply making use of what's already here. So come explore the winding paths, the citrus-laden trees, & the whispers of the marshland. With a little care & creativity, this property can become a lush sanctuary for years to come. After all, how often do you find a home where you can pluck a fresh orange from your own tree, sip tea on a porch overlooking the marsh, while dreaming up endless possibilities for the bonus lot next door, all from the comfort of your very own garden cottage?
