Supplements: McClellanville offers the best of both worlds: small town tranquility within easy reach of city amenities. It also sits midway between Charleston and Myrtle Beach, making it an effortless jumping-off point for day trips and travel along the South Carolina coast. Just minutes from the Francis Marion National Forest, it's a haven for anglers, birders, and nature lovers alike where small-town charm meets the best of the coastal outdoors. Step inside this better-than-new, custom-built home and you'll immediately feel its thoughtful craftsmanship and intentional design. Enter through a welcoming front porch and double glass doors into a light-filled foyer that leads to an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area that's perfect for gatherings large and small. The dining room at the front of the home features vaulted ceilings and currently serves as a beautiful home office. A chef's kitchen boasts custom cabinetry to the ceiling, stainless appliances, a gas range, quartzite countertops, and an extra-large pantry for all your entertaining essentials. The living room centers around a gas fireplace with custom tile surround and built-in shelving, framed by double sliding glass doors that invite the wooded views and natural light indoors. The expansive primary suite on the main floor (16x14) offers dual closets and a spa-inspired en-suite bath with dual vanities, generous storage, and a luxurious walk-in tiled shower. Enjoy year-round Lowcountry living on the screened-in back porch, spacious enough for al fresco dining or game day lounging. Upstairs, find three additional bedrooms with two full baths and a large gathering room with a wet bar, perfect for family or guests to unwind. One of the bedrooms features a private en-suite bath. A dedicated bunk room includes built-in beds, shelves, and charging stations for added convenience. Step outside to the balcony overlooking the backyard, where clear nights reveal starry skies and last year even a rare glimpse of the Northern Lights. This elevated home offers ample parking and storage below. An elevator shaft is already in place, offering the option to install a future elevator or enjoy the space as convenient walk-in storage. Every deck is finished with Trex decking for longevity and low maintenance. Set on an expansive one-acre lot, the property features palm trees, roses, and mature wooded privacy. A fire pit, extended concrete patio, and sprawling lawn make it the ideal setting for pets, play, and evening gatherings. A new well and septic system keep utilities low, while a storage shed adds convenience. McClellanville's peaceful rhythm surrounds you here with deer grazing at dawn, bunnies in the yard, and songbirds greeting each day. In town, enjoy fresh seafood dinners at T.W. Graham & Co., explore historic Pinckney Street, or spend a Wednesday evening sipping wine by the river at Hopsewee. Launch your boat or kayak just five minutes away, explore creeks lined with spartina grass, and return home to watch the sunset paint the sky in Lowcountry hues. With the ability to go from your driveway to the boat launch in under five minutes, spontaneous days on the water become part of everyday life. Cruise the Intracoastal Waterway and arrive in Georgetown in about an hour, tie up at one of the free public docks, grab lunch along the waterfront, and explore the town's charming shops. Located within the highly sought-after Wando school district, this home offers a unique opportunity to enjoy space and tranquility without sacrificing access to top-rated schools. This McClellanville retreat isn't just a place to live, it's a place to breathe, connect, and savor the best of the lowcountry.
