Welcome home to 138 Ashley River Drive!
This is an amazing opportunity for true lowcountry
living with the privacy and nature this acreage provides. This adorable cottage sits on just over an
acre with the opportunity to use more land behind the property. Surrounded by mature landscaping, you will
have a private sanctuary to enjoy while being conveniently located to all the
amenities you need in Summerville. The
neighborhood has a boat ramp (located right next to this home) to the Ashley
River with a very large area for riverside picnics, parties and gatherings for
you to enjoy while having unobstructed views of the river and surrounding
marsh. Some of the best features of the
home are the porches and yard. Fully
wrapping around the home, the large porches are a great place to sit, enjoy the
breeze and enjoy the abundant nature. What better neighbor to have then
Middleton Plantation? The fenced yard
has been designed for a mix of gardening and pets so you have the ability to
plant your award-winning garden while keeping the pets separated. The owners filled in the swimming pool to
create an area for a vegetable garden that has provided years of great
vegetables for them to enjoy.
The updated kitchen with a breakfast area is a great place
for family and friends to gather while the chef of the house prepares their
favorite meal with the double wall oven with convection oven. The solid cherry cabinets provide PLENTY of
storage and counter space and also has a built in bar providing another area to
sit for a meal. Located off the kitchen
is the living room, with a large stone fireplace that leads out to one of the
MANY porches where you can enjoy nature and relax at the end of the day. The master suite is located on the main floor
and has its own private screened porch overlooking the back yard, a great place
to enjoy a peaceful morning cup of coffee.
The split floor plan upstairs provides a great layout for the 2
guestrooms, both having walk-in closets with a small sitting area between the
rooms. The detached garage has a finished
room upstairs that can be easily converted to an apartment, or kept as is for a
man cave or game room. Downstairs there
is also a bathroom and shower. The
owners have loved and cared for this home for years creating many great
memories, this is a great opportunity for you to do the same!
Why the seller loves living here:
One
thing we love about Summerville is that it still has the feel and character of
a small town but is only minutes from world class restaurants and shopping.
Our
neighborhood is great for evening walks, sitting on your front porch, oyster
roasts and Lowcountry boils with friends, family and neighbors.
We
love to eat at many of the wonderful local restaurants, but for a special
occasion we like to dine at Middleton Place – a five minute drive from our
front door.
Publix,
Harris Teeter, Earth Fare are just to name a few of the grocery stores
available.
When
we bought this property, we were drawn to how peaceful it is. After working all day and dealing with the
stresses of work, etc., you feel it all
leave as soon as you turn on Ashley River Drive.
Love
that we can put our boat in the Ashley River and never leave the
neighborhood. You can have a party or
picnic right by the river. Nature is
abundant. Always something to see. Eagles fly right over the house and owls hoot
at night.
We
love birdwatching and this area is world class for birding. We also love gardening and have a wonderful
organic garden.
Since
we installed a new heat pump last year, our average electric bill is
$186/month.
SCEG/Suburban
Propane/Republic Trash/Buck’s Well and Drilling. Have never had to call anyone about the
septic tank.
