Less than a block away from Colonial Lake and a few blocks from The Battery, the location, cannot be beat if you are looking for downtown living. Situated on a sprawling lot, the backyard oasis has a 30-foot in-ground heated swimming pool and spa that can be enjoyed all year round. Step inside this 5-bedroom, 6-bath, 3-story home. The foyer greets you with soaring ceilings and original hardwood floors. On the first floor, you will find a formal living room connected to the dining room and an updated kitchen that hosts a more casual dining experience. Off the kitchen, you can access the backyard or continue to the attached Carriage House, which can serve as a bedroom or office with a full bath. On the second floor, the primary bedroom is a true retreat with an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in dressing room, and access to the expansive balcony. The bathroom features a large glass-enclosed shower and dual vanities, providing plenty of space. Off the primary bedroom is the laundry room with a double washer and dryer and another bedroom with its own full bathroom. As you head to the third floor, two bedrooms, each with their own bathrooms, are joined together by a common space that makes for a great media room
or playroom. The expansive backyard is a true oasis, with lush greenery, Palmetto trees, and beautiful landscaping that provides plenty of room for outdoor activities. The ample outdoor dining and grilling area, along with the 30-foot heated pool and hot tub, make for an incredibly relaxing space that can be enjoyed all year round. There is an exceptionally long driveway that provides an ample amount of off-street parking.
