Welcome to 454 Trapier Drive, a classic brick split-level home nestled in the highly sought-after Fort Johnson Estates on James Island. Offering approximately 3,350 square feet, this spacious residence features 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, with an abundance of closet space and storage throughout. The 5th bedroom was thoughtfully designed as a mother-in-law suite with separate outdoor ground level access. This could be a standalone, separately accessed living quarters, with space to make additional improvements. It could also be used as a standard bedroom as it is also contiguous to the downstairs living space.Situated on a beautiful almost half acre lot with tidal creek access, the property provides a rare combination of Ample Privacy (backing up to a tidal creek), natural beauty, and generous outdoor space. A durable metal roof and a brand-new well pump and irrigation system (2026) add to the home's long-term value and peace of mind. The bathrooms were newly renovated in 2026, the primary suite had new carpet installed in 2026, and the interior of the home was just painted! Beyond the driveway is a hidden fenced in pad equipped with a camper hookup. Perfect area for toy storage! Enjoy mornings or evenings relaxing on one of the 2 HUGE screened in porches! One is downstairs, and one is right off the primary suite! Take a stroll into the lush and very private backyard and meander down the beautifully hardscaped walkway and you will find yourself at a beautiful and serene tidal creek inlet -- next to a Koi Pond! Enjoy beautiful and natural Low Country views right from your back yard. Ideally located just minutes from Historic Downtown Charleston and Folly Beach, this home also offers convenient access to some of James Island's most beloved outdoor destinations, including Pinckney Park, Demetre Park, a short drive to the James Island County Park as well as a quick trip to the James Island Yacht Club. Are you coming home sandy from the beach or splashed with pluff mud from the creeks? No worries, wash right off in the peaceful and private bamboo stall outdoor shower. Residents of Fort Johnson Estates have the opportunity to join the Fort Johnson Estates Civic Club, which offers a neighborhood pool and a clubhouse, however it is not mandatory. Whether you're looking for room to grow, exceptional storage, tidal creek access, an unparalleled James Island neighborhood with a community vibe, or an unbeatable James Island location that will maintain its' allure, 454 Trapier Drive presents a wonderful opportunity to make this all your Charleston reality.
