Property Description
A rare Lowcountry offering with the kind of waterfront access, acreage, and flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find, just minutes from Downtown Charleston. Set on 0.84 acres along Penny's Creek, 1269 River Road combines true deepwater living with a beautifully renovated cottage and the opportunity to create something much larger in the future. The private dock, complete with floater and 6,000-pound boat lift, offers approximately 6 feet of water at low tide, providing direct access to Charleston's waterways and making it easy to get out on the boat and enjoy everything the Lowcountry has to offer. The existing cottage was completely renovated down to the studs by the current owner, thoughtfully combining modern updates with timeless coastal character. Inside, maple hardwood..floors, an open-concept layout, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and abundant natural light create a warm and inviting interior. Extensive improvements include new electrical and plumbing, HVAC, Anderson high-impact windows, spray foam insulation, a generator transfer switch, and more. A standing-seam metal roof and crushed oyster shell driveway add to the home's quintessential Lowcountry appeal. Perhaps the most compelling feature is the expansive screened porch overlooking Penny's Creek. Whether hosting friends, enjoying a quiet morning coffee, or watching the sun set over the water, this is a home designed around the Charleston waterfront lifestyle. And for those looking to build something more substantial, fully engineered plans convey for a future main residence of just under 3,000 square feet, with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, an office, and approximately 870 square feet of porches. Whether you envision a private waterfront retreat, a full-time residence, or the foundation for a future Lowcountry estate, 1269 River Road offers a unique combination of deepwater access, privacy, proximity to Downtown Charleston, and long-term potential. All at a price point rarely available for a property of this caliber.
