Opposite is the beautifully appointed separate dining room. The updated kitchen welcomes plenty of natural light and is open to the family room. It offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an island with seating. Off of the family room, which has a gas fireplace and built-in bookshelves, is a large deck overlooking the expansive backyard.The primary suite is also accessed off the family room and offers multiple closets and a large bathroom. Also on the first floor is a laundry room, a study/den/office, and a half-bath with designer touches. Two bedrooms are located on the second floor, along with an updated full bath and an east facing deck.

The desirable location of the lot is just a short stroll to the beach at Station 22.5, or to all the restaurants and shopping Sullivan's Island has to offer. The current home offers five bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and 3,470 sqft.
