Additional features include covered parking and a storage shed, adding everyday convenience and functionality. With no HOA and ample room for outdoor living or future improvements, the property offers flexibility rarely found at this level. Located in an established James Island community with convenient access to Folly Beach and downtown Charleston, this home blends classic construction with a complete modern transformation, offering efficient, easy living in a thoughtfully designed footprint.
