Property Description
Tucked away on the back side of Islandwood neighborhood on Wilmington Island, this one-of-a-kind home offers the kind of privacy and space that's getting harder and harder to find. Sitting on a large (.4 acre), corner lot, this solidly built home is full of character, flexibility, and thoughtful upgrades-and there's no carpet anywhere, making it both stylish and easy to maintain. Currently configured as a 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home, it can easily be converted to 3-bedrooms, 2 full-baths and with over 1700 square feet of living space- the options are endless. Inside, you'll find a spacious living room anchored by a grand fireplace, perfect for cozy nights or gathering with friends and family. The custom kitchen features high-end mission style bamboo cabinetry with rich natural grain, leaded glass doors, black stone countertops and a timeless design. Newer stainless appliances, including a sleek gas cooktop, bring modern performance, while layout offers a functional space. One of the true highlights is the extra-large sunroom-an ideal spot for morning coffee, relaxing afternoons, or hosting year-round. Step outside and you'll appreciate a spacious deck, ample parking and a custom-built shed complete with electricity, perfect for a workshop, hobby space, or extra storage. Located in the highly coveted May Howard School District and super close to St. Andrew's School, this home checks all the boxes for location, privacy, and potential. With its unique setting, solid construction, and endless possibilities, this is one you truly have to see to believe.
