This sprawling approximately 3,400-square-foot ranch-style home is situated on nearly one acre in the coveted Eastwood community. Adding exceptional future flexibility, a separate 0.33-acre homesite has already been subdivided and approved by the Town of James Island, creating a rare opportunity to enjoy the property as a private compound, develop the additional lot, or potentially sell it separately.

Multiple living areas flow throughout the home, highlighted by an impressive four-season room with vaulted ceilings aabundant natural light.
