Set on an elevated corner lot along one of Sullivan's Island's most desirable streets, 2871 Ion Avenue offers a rare opportunity to own a truly remarkable coastal retreat. Spanning over 5,000 square feet, this home presents a level of scale no longer permitted under current town building restrictions, affording a unique opportunity to own a residence of this size on Sullivan's Island.Thoughtfully designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the home features expansive gathering spaces and a seamless flow throughout. The gourmet kitchen serves as the centerpiece, complete with two oversized islands that provide ample space for hosting.
