This gorgeous, Grand Mansion on the water is a RARE one-of-a-kind home. Located in the very desirable Indigo Island neighborhood, its charm and beautiful views of the water will instantly have you falling in love! It was once featured in Charleston Home + Design magazine and a television miniseries. The best aspects of this elegant home are the views, the peace and quiet, and the opportunity to walk out of the back door and in a few steps be on your boat enjoying the water. With attention to detail at every step, this home will WOW you! You will love the main and lower level porches, upper level balconies, and sunrooms that all have wide open views of the water. This highly customized home has an excellent open layout with water views from almost every room. In fact, the moment youopen the front door, you can see the gorgeous views of the water. Watching the full moon rise over the water will take your breath away, but is nothing compared to the beautiful sunrise every morning as you enjoy breakfast on your secluded back porch watching bald eagles, pelicans, osprey, blue heron and endless wildlife. Each day you can see boats going by, out for pleasure riding or fishing, kayakers paddling by, jet-skis, even a sailboat zigzagging across the water. On the Fourth of July and New Years Eve, the fireworks display across the water and on all sides is unbelievable! Every inch of this amazing home is packed with so much beauty and countless intricate details that you will feel truly blessed to live here. The home is less than 5 minutes away from I-26, restaurants, a theater, banks, shopping, Roper diagnostics and Emergency Care etc. It is located just less than 9 miles from the Charleston International Airport, 25 miles away from Folly Beach and 23 miles away from Isle of Palms, and just minutes from Historic Downtown Charleston.
