3154 Hugh Bennett Dr Johns Island, SC 29455

Rarely do you find this level of custom detail in a new construction neighborhood, but this one is truly special. Why wait months to build your dream home when this one already exists and is move-in ready? Welcome to 3154 Hugh Bennett Drive--a beautifully upgraded Dunwoody plan tucked on a half-acre corner lot across from a pond in the gated community of Sea Island Preserve. While new builds here still have months of construction ahead, this home is already complete, landscaped, and move-in ready with features the builder simply doesn't offer.From the moment you arrive, the difference is clear. A charming gas lantern guides you to the front door, and inside, wide-plank hardwoods and upgraded trimwork create a polished, inviting feel. The sellers invested heavily both duringconstruction and after closingadding cabinetry in the laundry room, an extended driveway and three-car garage with a four-foot expansion, additional insulation for lower power bills, upgraded lighting and ceiling fans, and other designer finishes. The kitchen is the centerpiece, featuring a massive island, generous pantry, soft-close cabinetry, gorgeous countertops, gas cooktop, farmhouse sink, beverage center with wine storage, and a vented stainless hood. Unlike new construction, everything buyers typically add later is already herecustom blinds, detailed tilework, fencing, mature landscaping, and designer lighting. Those are real-world expenses that can't be rolled into a builder mortgage, and they add up fast. This home delivers all of them without the extra out-of-pocket cost or the construction mess. The single-story layout offers easy living with three bedrooms, a dedicated office, and a sunroom filled with natural light overlooking a private, wooded backyard. The primary suite is oversized, featuring hardwood floors and a walk-in closet large enough to double as a dressing room. ADA-friendly accommodations such as a pocket door with enlarged opening, grab bars in the shower and lavatory, and a luxurious barrier-free shower with rainfall and handheld heads are features that blend seamlessly in both aesthetics and function. Step outside to a screened porch that feels like an outdoor living room, perfect for enjoying the Lowcountry weather free of bugs. The backyard is fenced, and together with the mature plantings and the lot's size and orientation, it provides rare privacy. Sea Island Preserve residents enjoy a gated community as well as resort-style amenities including a pool, pickleball courts, playground, and miles of walking trails surrounded by natural green space. This property blends the best of both worldsthe modern design and efficiency of new construction with the comfort, character, and completion that only time and thoughtful upgrades can create.
