Updated and beautifully maintained, this is the five bedroom Stiles Point Plantation home you have been waiting for. Originally built in 2003, 742 Whispering Marsh Drive has had numerous 2019-2020 updates including a brand new roof, a beautiful interior paint job, hardwood floors throughout, new kitchen countertops and backsplash, and fully encapsulated crawl space. The welcoming front porch and landscaped front yard offer enviable curb appeal, and the back screened porch, back deck, and spacious fenced yard round out the desirable exterior features of this .28-acre property. Inside the home, you'll find a thoughtful floor plan that is made for modern living, thanks to a mix of both open and delineated spaces. The home features five bedrooms -- a true rarity on James Island, and especially this price point! One bedroom and one full bath are on the main floor, and the remaining four bedrooms are upstairs (a master with an en suite bath, as well as three bedrooms that share a hall bath). For those not in need of five bedrooms, the fifth bedroom at the end of the upstairs hall would also make a fantastic home office, playroom, craft room, media room, or other flex space. With a roomy 2-car garage and driveway/parking pad, there is plenty of space for vehicles, a golf cart, bikes, and beach/outdoor toy storagewhich will come in handy given that this home is only 8.5 miles to Folly Beach! Just minutes from Downtown Charleston, it's easy to see why this convenient James Island location is one of the most sought-after in the area.
