Exterior Design and Secure Foundation
The exterior features a classic gabled roofline finished with architectural shingles, contrasting Azure Blue siding, Silver Gray gables, and crisp white trim. A spacious covered front porch extends the home’s footprint for authentic Lowcountry outdoor living, accessible from the interior via dual sets of full-view French doors. The elevated enclosed piling foundation provides abundant, secure storage underneath the home, perfectly sized for tractors, landscaping equipment, and coastal gear.
Open Living and Dining Area
The 995-square-foot main level is built around an open living and dining area designed to maximize flow. The interior features a timeless, durable palette with luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring running throughout the space, Agreeable Gray walls, recessed lighting, and brushed-nickel hardware. The generous 9-foot ceilings create an expansive, airy feel that seamlessly integrates with the outdoor porch, making the space ideal for entertaining.
The Custom Kitchen
Functionality meets high-end finishes in the highly capable kitchen. The space is anchored by 42-inch Ice White Shaker wall cabinets equipped with soft-close hardware and under-cabinet lighting. Colonial White granite countertops provide ample workspace, complemented by a sleek undermount stainless-steel sink and a full suite of modern stainless-steel appliances.
Bedrooms and Accessible Bathroom
True accessibility is directly incorporated into the home’s easy-to-navigate floor plan. The main level hosts two comfortable bedrooms alongside a dedicated utility space and convenient built-in storage. The full bathroom is designed with long-term accessibility in mind, featuring a flush, zero-entry roll-in shower for safe and seamless daily use.
