Property Description
Tucked beneath the two sweeping grand oaks draped in Spanish moss, this picturesque brick cottage offers a rare blend of authenticity and modern comfort. Set on over a third of an acre on a quiet corner lot off Maybank Highway, this private oasis invites you to embrace a slower pace and a more intentional lifestyle. Inside, just under 1,000 square feet, the flexible two-bedroom, one-bath layout lives large, with natural light and organic textures creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Original hardwood floors, vintage doors, and charming hardware preserve the home's authenticity, while thoughtful updates like a custom kitchen island and quartzite counters ensure everyday comfort. Out back, unlimited options wait for you. Complete with flat screen, bar seating, and adjacent fire pit, the covered patio sets the stage for relaxed entertaining. An outdoor shower with hot and cold water cleverly doubles as a potting station, and the fully fenced yard offers ample space for a garden, beehives, or chicken coop. Your privacy is insured by massive gardenia bushes that line the back fence. A 100 ft² shed has an attached roof for storing your lawn equipment and additional 7x10 weatherproofed exterior storage provides ample room for sports gear. With no HOA, no flood insurance, and generous parking for your boat or RV, this property offers rare freedom and flexibility. Walter Dr is a wonderful opportunity to live in a country adjacent neighborhood, biking distance to popular restaurants and just 20 minutes from the heart of Historic Downtown Charleston.
