Welcome home to the view and location that
are both at the heart of what makes the Lowcountry so special! This 4 BR, 3 ½ BA home is one of the rare
marsh front homes in the sought-after historic district of Mt. Pleasant. You
can now be in your own custom-designed home that is enhanced to
Charleston historic designs while you relax
and enjoy the amazing marsh breezes.
You
are welcomed through the door by the great room with a coffered ceiling that
unfolds into a stunning view of Sullivan’s Island and Charleston harbor,
boasting gleaming hardwood floors and pristine tile surrounding the gas log
fireplace for cooler nights. In the mood
for a warm summer breeze? Open up the sliding
screen door to the porch and with a custom ceiling fan, you can cook dinner in
your state of the art kitchen looking out at the Sullivan’s Island lighthouse.
It is a chef style kitchen with Bosch appliances and a large island with a
granite top, hardwood flooring and a very spacious breakfast area. The counter
space, cabinetry and pantry give plenty of storage and spread-out space. The pantry is set up to easily be converted
into a dumb waiter from the garage to avoid the stairs with the large grocery
list!

Why the seller LOVES living here:
Things I love about Mt. Pleasant are that it one of the largest cities in SC with many conveniences such as a vast array of modern shopping, theaters, dining, and medical establishments all centrally located. Furthermore, my home stands out in that it is located in the charming historical district of Mt. Pleasant (with amazing homes dating back to the 1700's), is one of only a few rare marsh-front properties in the district, is within biking distance of the beach and within minutes of the highly desirable historical downtown Charleston. Charleston is noted as being CondeNaste's "America's Favorite City" and for good reason ... it was one of the original settlements in the US with a variety of European architectural influences, offers world-renowned dining and culture, and is all within a few minutes’ drive from my home.
Although Mt.Pleasant has expanded dramatically over the years, this home is located in its most prestigious original section which is near the beaches, Charleston harbor, and downtown Charleston. Not only is the area not as congested as the newer sections of Mt. Pleasant (making commuting to/from work exponentially less hectic), it maintains the grace, dignity, and historical feel that made the entire area famous. The neighborhood itself is distinguished in that it is served by SC's 5-star rated public schools, including the nearby Mt. Pleasant Academy, Moultrie Middle School, and Wando High School. It is a wonderful place to live, work, and play. Ride your bike to the Pickett Park to observe beautiful Charleston harbor, the islands, and have a picnic or fish from the public piers. Take a stroll down historical Pitt Street, taking in the upscale and old feel of the area, stopping by the Pitt Street Pharmacy for an old fashioned soda or sandwich with your children, the Old Village Post House restaurant for an after-work cocktail or dinner, and watch the sun set over the beautiful Ravenel Bridge and harbor. Live in a neighborhood that is very friendly, safe, and inviting. And live in a house that is a refuge within modern suburbia.... when you come home to 805 Post Oak Drive, you will feel a sense of serenity with a private pond in front of your house and view of the Charleston Harbor, Historic Ft. Sumter, Sullivan's Island Lighthouse flashing in your windows, and the sounds and smells of the sea atmosphere. Enjoy incredible view of high tides which completely cover the marsh and give you the feel of having the ocean in your midst; enjoy watching cruise ships constantly travel to/from the Port of Charleston. You absolutely can't go wrong with choosing this house as your residence both from a quality of life perspective and sound investment.
Mt. Pleasant itself has many enjoyable restaurants within only a few miles of 805 Post Oak Drive and the short drive to downtown Charleston. Some of my favorites include Papa Zuzu's Mediterranean deli, Southern Seasons upscale restaurant and gourmet takeout, the Old Village Post House restaurant, R.B's seafood, and Scratch Taco Boutique. And all the aforementioned are within just a 3 mile radius! If you care to venture to Mt. Pleasant Towne Centre, not only will you find wonderful places to shop and an awesome theatre, but you will be surrounded by many eclectic dining choices as you stroll throughout. If you wish to travel downtown, only a few minutes away, you will immensely enjoy eating at Fulton Five Italian Restaurant, Hyman's Seafood, Poogan's Porch, and Slightly North of Broad. There are so many restaurants of distinction downtown, you will absolutely find several to suit your taste, as Charleston is becoming recognized as an upscale culinary city.
Concerning conveniences, there are many grocery stories, pharmacies, schools, restaurants, and medical establishments right around the corner. If you become ill, nearby Pitt St. pharmacy is one of the few remaining pharmacies which will deliver medicine to your door. There is a General Practitioner right around the corner if you are not feeling well and a CVS in the same parking lot. Publix, Harris Teeter, and Bi-Lo are within biking/ golf cart distance. If you are searching for a quality of life which offers the best in modern conveniences, you cannot go wrong with this property.
This house is distinguished in that (1) it is one of the most desirable addresses within Mount Pleasant, having a peaceful tidal marsh in the rear and pond in front, (2) was custom designed for the lot maximizing views of Charleston harbor, Ft. Sumter, Sullivan's Island, the majestic lighthouse flashing in your windows, and Isle of Palms. It has a rear deck and porches great for entertaining or just watching the cargo and cruise ships pass by the harbor. Take the 3 minute drive to Sullivan's Island beach each evening or weekend with your family (or ride your bike using the public bike trail), drive across the beautiful modern Ravenel Bridge while taking in views of Charleston harbor en route to fine dining, the historic Battery area, Spoleto Festival USA, parks, and many cultural centers.
We love to stroll down Center Street on the weekends to take a walk out to the historical Pitt Street Bridge, enjoying views of Charleston harbor and the surrounding islands. The historical atmosphere is unparalleled within the United States, as nearby Old Village Mt. Pleasant and downtown Charleston were among the original US settlements from Europe. However, the home itself has such a great ambiance with its many windows, astonishing views, rear sun deck and porches, it is tempting just to remain at home and savor it all or entertain guests.
We enjoy hiking and biking in the area. The Old Village is a great place to walk or bike while taking in the historical atmosphere, Charleston harbor, and meeting friendly neighbors. The Seewee area in nearby Awendaw is also a great place to hike, meditate in the midst of rare Native American ring mounds by the sea, or take the cruise boat for an afternoon hike in the Cape Romain wildlife refuge. A stroll down nearby Patriot's Point marina or Sullivan's Island completes a long day, listening to the calming sounds of the sea and enjoying the view of the Atlantic Ocean, seagulls, dolphins, lighthouses, and wildlife.
