This sprawling approximately 3,400-square-foot ranch-style home is situated on nearly one acre in the coveted Eastwood community. Adding exceptional future flexibility, a separate 0.33-acre homesite has already been subdivided and approved by the Town of James Island, creating a rare opportunity to enjoy the property as a private compound, develop the additional lot, or potentially sell it separately.The home offers the convenience of single-level living just minutes from downtown Charleston. Inside, the spacious and versatile floor plan is well suited for both everyday living and entertaining. Multiple living areas flow throughout the home, highlighted by an impressive four-season room with vaulted ceilings aabundant natural light. A secondary family room with a wood-burning fireplace provides a comfortable gathering space, while additional flexible rooms can accommodate a home office, media room, playroom, or additional sleeping space. The oversized primary suite encompasses nearly 500 square feet and is privately positioned away from the secondary bedrooms. It features multiple closets, a spacious en suite bathroom, and direct access to the backyard. Two additional bedrooms and full bathrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests. Recent practical improvements include a newer roof, HVAC system, water heater, whole-house natural gas generator, and an in-line surge protection system.

The separately approved 0.33-acre homesite further enhances the property's long-term value and development potential. Comparable vacant lots in the surrounding James Island market have recently been offered in the approximately $250,000 to $350,000 range, underscoring the significance of the additional parcel. Additional advantages include no HOA restrictions and a desirable X flood zone designation.
