Beneath a canopy of centuries-old live oaks, this custom 5-bedroom, 2,722 sq ft home in Hanahan, SC, sits on a private, 1.13-acre lot in a quintessential Lowcountry setting, with ties to one of South Carolina's oldest landmarks. Next door stands the historic Otranto Plantation house, believed to be the state's oldest structure, built around 1679. Once part of the Middleton family's original land grant, the area was a working indigo plantation--and fragments of blue-dyed pottery can still be found in the creek that winds behind the property. Few homes near Charleston offer acreage like this, with graceful rolling hills, grand oaks, and a meandering creek flowing toward the Goose Creek Reservoir, creating a natural bird sanctuary.The crown jewel of the home is the sunroom, featuring exposed brick, two skylights that fill the room with natural light, and walls of windows that connect you with live oaks draped in Spanish moss, water views, and a natural bird habitat. The 12' x 21" space could be your home office, homeschool classroom, lounge area, play room, home gym, craft room, or whatever else fits your lifestyle. 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 framed by two large windows with scenic views. The farmhouse-inspired kitchen connects to the sunroom as well. Standout features here are the custom cabinets, solid-surface countertops, new tile backsplash, instant hot-water tap, new refrigerator, breakfast bar, and pantry. The first-floor primary suite features more scenic views, plus 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. You'll find all new carpet on the stairs and throughout the second level, as well as four additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, two more closets, attic storage, and a walkway that overlooks the family room and foyer. Every bedroom offers stunning views of the oaks, Reservoir, 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, a garden, 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, lawn irrigation on well water, and public water and sewer. This home has been lovingly and meticulously maintained by the same owner for nearly three decades, and it shows. Otranto has NO HOA; however, there is a voluntary civic club that hosts neighborhood events. There are also three neighborhood parks that include tennis courts, a play park, and a waterfront park that has a kayak launch, fishing platforms, and covered pavilion.
