Overview

Description

This quintessential Johns Island home has some of the best sunsets on Johns Island, while also being convenient to everywhere. It has a massive 2 car garage/shop, large enough for your bay boat or to run your business from,limehouse boatramp is less than .5 mile away. The garage has been stubbed for plumbing. Recent renovations; the kitchen and primary bath were updated in '25. Metal roof takes away the worry of how fast the lowcountry weather can wear out shingles. Tucked against the marsh, watch the wildlife right outside your door. The construction going on to reduce traffic is the only thing keeping this home on the market, dont let this one get away. Not many opportunities to own a home on Johns Island with a water view for under $1mm that doesn't take an hour to get anywhere else.
