Tucked away on a quiet road with no HOA, 1599 Terns Nest Road offers a front-row seat to the Lowcountry's most stunning natural theater. This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom manufactured home is elevated, sitting high above a massive storage garage and workshop space (the size of a 4 car garage)--perfect for storage, projects, or a massive hobbyist area. The true magic of this property lies just beyond the back door. Whether you're sipping morning coffee on the screened-in back porch or walking out onto your private dock, the scenery is unmatched: Sweep the horizon to see both the historic Morris Island Lighthouse and the Sullivan's Island Lighthouse. Enjoy the Lowcountry landscape with mature, moss-draped Grand Oaks that perfectly frame the expansive marsh vistas. Coastal living doesn't get much better as you enjoy direct access to the water for kayaking, fishing, or simply watching the tides change. This move-in ready, 1,680-square-foot layout provides a spacious, functional canvas. It's a dream for those looking to build equity in a prime location. The elevated design maximizes views and provides peace of mind. The elevator provides access for those who may not typically have easy access to an elevated home. A 30 amp, 125 volt RV outlet is already installed by the driveway, making it easy to power your motorhome for whatever adventure awaits. Located in one of James Island's most sought-after pockets, you are minutes from Folly Beach and downtown Charleston, yet worlds away in your own marshfront sanctuary. Bring your vision and your kayak--this is your chance to create a personalized masterpiece on the water.
