Beautiful executive home overlooking Essex Pond (which reminds you of Colonial Lake in downtown Charleston) is turn-key ready. Surrounded by protected wetlands, highly sought after Essex at Carolina Bay is well-located: only 7 miles to CHS International Airport & BOEING; 12 miles to MUSC; and according to Google maps, just about 30 minutes the any of the 4 area beaches of Isle of Palms County Beach Park, Folly Beach, Sullivans Island and Kiawah Beachwalker Park. Shopping, dining, golf, parks, medical care are all quite convenient. The resort-like ESSEX amenity center is just a hop, skip and a jump down the sidewalk. You could even kayak out to the Charleston Harbor from the natural kayak launch found there along with a zero-entry pool, covered pavilion with oversized fireplace, oyster pit, and children's play park amid palmetto and oak trees. This desirable all hardiplank-clad neighborhood is lined with sidewalks, trees and nature trails. The home itself is just 3 years old and features an Owners Suite downstairs with a total of 4 BDs and 3-1/2BAs. The upscale kitchen includes all the expected upgrades of upgraded cabinetry, granite, and stainless steel. While an electric range is included, it also has a gas line allowing for a gas or dual fuel range. A formal dining room is adjacent while the kitchen opens completely to a large great room and then out to a back screened porch. 1913 Mentella Cove is a modern version of the iconic Charleston single house complete with the signature front door and flickering Charleston gas lantern at the double front piazzas facing cool breezes off the water. That it’s an elevated home adds the ease of entry from the garage, as well as, nearly triple the room of the 20’ x 25’ detached garages in the neighborhood. Who couldn’t use the extra room for storage, parking, a gardening nook, workout space, man cave... or storage for your kayaks? Upstairs find 3 nicely sized bedrooms, two full bathrooms (one a Jack & Jill), and an oversized multi-functional family room upstairs with access to the upstairs porch and wonderful views. Installation of plantation shutters throughout, Charleston Green fenced in backyard, substantial landscaping and protected wetlands behind this home optimize it’s great appeal! Don’t tarry... Come see for yourself. You will be pleased you did.
