1026 Fort Sumter Dr, Charleston, SC 29412

Located in the harbor view community of Lawton Bluff, this spacious two-story James Island home sits on a tidal creek with expansive marsh and water views. The gorgeous backyard has many mature oak trees which provide a shaded oasis from the hot Charleston summers and there is a 16 x10 floating dock to access the creek. Charleston Harbor is just a short boat ride away, making this home perfect for those who love all that Charleston's waterways have to offer. Large outdoor living spaces, including a wide Charleston porch and a smaller screened in porch (both with ceiling fans), overlook the creek and are great for entertaining . A bright sun room with tile flooring, two ceiling fans, two walls of floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors open to the back porch and overlook the creek. The interior of the home has three spacious bedrooms, including a master bedroom with en suite bathroom. There is also another full bathroom upstairs and one and a half bathrooms on the first level. Hardwood floors run throughout the majority of the home and there is dental crown molding in the downstairs rooms. The downstairs office features pickled wood paneled walls, bright windows overlooking the front yard and a brick fireplace with gas logs. The office, sun room, and downstairs full bath could easily be combined and used as a first floor ensuite master bedroom or an efficiency apartment. There is also a formal dining room with French doors to the screened porch and a formal living room with an elaborate mantle and French doors to the porch. Enjoy tidal creek life in your back yard. Lake Francis is steps from your front door. Five minute drive to downtown Charleston with fifteen minute drive to Folly Beach.
