1625 McClain Street

Tucked away in a quiet West Ashley neighborhood, nestled among live oak trees adorned in Spanish moss, there sits a beautiful property that speaks to the soul in a language of peacefulness and tranquility. Palmetto trees flank the entry leading up to the front door of 1625 McClain Street. As you climb the stairs to the front door, you may feel a sense of protection from mother nature all around you. Take a deep breath. You are home. Once inside, the first floor features a classic foyer with a powder room on your right to give your guests a convenient place to freshen up. The open living room & its large windows with views of the Stono River & John's Island beyond is a perfect place to gather friends and family on cozy fall evenings. The hearth space is inviting & awaits winter fires. Adjacent to the living room is the newly redesigned and remodeled chef's kitchen. A custom built crescent shaped banquet is complimented by the vaulted ceiling accented in red oak giving this room scores of depth. Countertop appliances are conveniently stored within the custom solid wood cabinetry up top and down below. The Viking range, Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer, double stainless steel sink, separate beverage cooler, and Brazilian polished quartzite countertops place this kitchen in a class by itself. The large picture window looking out onto the marsh and beyond may just inspire you to wash the dishes after every meal. It is that beautiful here.Oak flooring throughout the home has been tastefully redone in a light matte finish, echoing spartina grass in the winter and the fine sand found on our nearby beaches. Dual primary bedrooms are found on the first and second floor and have both been remodeled to accommodate a number of options for use. Bunk rooms for kids and their sleepovers, office space for those of you working from home, or convert one of these rooms to a separate mother-in-law suite for your loved ones. The flex space upstairs makes for an excellent den or a state of the art media room for the teenagers and may possibly keep them out of your hair. If that doesn't work there is always your outdoor space, a nature preserve in and of itself at the end of this quaint West Ashley neighborhood street.Close to the home at the foot of the back porch steps is a low maintenance salt water pool with a large deck to accommodate barbecues and birthday parties. As you explore the over half acre of waterfront property surrounding the house you will notice your own private boat launch. Whether you're a kayaker, paddle boarder, or an avid fisherman with a flats boat hoping to chase down some tailing red drum, this feature just steps from your in-ground pool is coastal living at its finest.Raised and irrigated garden beds await the homesteader in you. With a managed bee hive just beyond the garden, you will have more honey than you know what to do with. The symbiosis between the pollinators and whatever you decide to plant in your garden beds are yet another aspect of this incredible home that will keep you calm and connected to rhythms of nature all around.The fenced area near the garden beds provides a convenient run for the family dog.
