The charming cottage was completely renovated down to the studs by the current owner, blending modern systems and finishes with timeless Lowcountry character. Inside, you'll find stunning maple hardwood floors throughout, an open-concept floorplan, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and abundant natural light......Major upgrades include all new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, Anderson high-impact windows, spray foam insulation, and a generator transfer switch for added peace of mind. A standing seam metal roof and crushed oyster shell driveway complete the home's coastal aesthetic. One of the home's standout features is the expansive screened porch overlooking the water -- the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying sunset views over Penny's Creek.
