The True Nature of Craftsmanship and Elegance. As one of the “best-kept hideaways” in Mount Pleasant, Grassy Creek is the perfect balance of preserved natural surroundings and outstanding home craftsmanship. From its inspiring curb appeal and expansive gas-lit “surround-around” porches --- to the spacious marsh-view vistas in every huge window-scape, this is a home that has innumerable advantages. As the aroma of steamed oysters emanate from your grill on the huge overlook of your wrap-around porch, you’ll enjoy how private things are. When the guests begin to arrive, they will ascend the stairs thru the wide-open entrance to a dining room reminiscent of the private rooms of a fine restaurant. The creation of your gourmet “main event” will take place in an amazing kitchen, complete with Dacor and Bosch appliances, a wine cooler, beautiful counter tops and so much more. Off the kitchen, there is another area for dining with huge windows opening to views on three sides of the marsh, oaks and flowers below. It’s simply time to unwind before supper to the music of the installed sound system. Retreat to your office/media room to the right.

A room for tools, another for a workout area complete with shower and bathroom+storage including another hobby area that will take your creativity to a new level. Of course there is central A/C throughout – even in the downstairs workout areas. Plus the home is complimented with ceiling fans throughout which provide wonderful circulation in the airy 10’ high ceilings. Crown molding and other craftsmanship nuances are everywhere. Cherry cabinets in the kitchen, Brazilian hardwood floors, lentil molding and other details enhance the spectacular views beyond your massive windows. Security is part of the system that works with your “smart wiring” infrastructure. Other details such as special coating on the garage floors, tile in the bathrooms, outdoor gas lights, Plantation shutters, tree lighting, media/escape room off the master bedroom, built-in book shelves, fully-equipped kitchen, expansive storage, and so much more create a quality level noticed by all. Retreat to Your Own Nature Preserve! If that’s not enough, this address is right next door to the Grassy Creek Retreat. That means just steps away you have access to a huge pavilion with a covered party area large enough for a huge brick fireplace reminiscent of an English castle. Relax in a rocker under this protected area, rain or shine and enjoy the aroma of flowers, the salt marsh and the melody of crickets as they beckon you to the dock. A few more feet are paths past centuries-old moss-laden oaks to a dock with a floating attachment that allo
