As part of the Central Park Basin project, a new park and retention pond is being built at the end of Howle Avenue, to be completed in 2026. Howle Avenue Park will provide space for the community to enjoy as well as a basin to help with some of the water retention on the street, including this house.

Easy to show and full of potential in one of James Island's most sought-after neighborhoods.
