Beneath a canopy of centuries-old live oaks, this custom 2,722 sq ft Lowcountry home in Hanahan, SC blends indoor and outdoor living on a private, storybook 1.13-acre lot close to historic Charleston, I-26, shopping, restaurants, parks, and health care. The home offers four bedrooms plus a bonus room and a first-floor primary suite, all connected to the outdoors through large windows that bring nature into daily life. A creek flows through the expansive yard toward the Goose Creek Reservoir, creating a bird sanctuary that complements the water view. The sunroom offers a place to sit and enjoy this landscape masterpiece, as well as direct access to the pool and oversized deck.The heart of the home is the sunroom, where two skylights fill the room with natural light and picture windows capture the trees, water views, and natural bird habitat. This is where you will probably do most of your indoor living. There's room for a home office, homeschool classroom, lounging, home gym, crafts, and more. The sunroom connects to the spacious family room, which opens to the dining room and foyer. The family room has a little bit of a cozy cabin feel, because of its vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, hardwood floors, and brick fireplace. The kitchen connects to the sunroom as well. Standout features here are the solid-surface countertops, a new tile backsplash, an instant hot-water tap, a new refrigerator, breakfast bar, and the pantry. The first-floor primary suite includes a private bathroom that showcases a claw-foot tub alongside two separate vanities, a tile and glass shower, and both a linen closet and walk-in closet. A half bath and laundry room complete the main level. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a finished room over the garage. Every bedroom offers natural views of the oaks and surrounding nature. Outdoor living here is exceptional, with an oversized deck that wraps around the pool and provides multiple spaces for grilling, dining, relaxing, and entertaining. The expansive yard includes two storage sheds and a variety of mature plantings, including azaleas, palms, ferns, flowering shrubs, and a lemon tree. Bald eagles, owls, hawks, herons, ibis, limpkins, and songbirds frequent the property due to its natural habitat and proximity to the Reservoir. Additional features include a side-entry two-car garage, a Generac generator, irrigation on well water, and public water and sewer.
