A Modern Coastal Retreat on James Island
 
Tucked away at the serene end of Old Military Road with minimal through traffic, this elevated modern bungalow is as much a statement piece as it is a home. The striking design seamlessly blends modern coastal aesthetics with a sense of seclusion, offering the feel of a private retreat. Surrounded by elegant neighboring homes and mature trees, it strikes the perfect balance between natural beauty and a warm, connected community vibe. The result? A residence that feels both exclusive and welcoming.
 
 
Sophisticated Design & Open Concept Living
 
Step inside and prepare to be wowed. The modern open floor plan is enhanced by solid white oak hardwoods throughout—because only the best will do, right? 

The kitchen is nothing short of a showstopper, featuring a massive quartz island with bespoke tambour wood accents, Café appliances, and custom cabinetry. The expansive living room,
bathed in natural light, is ready for cozy movie nights or lively gatherings.
 
 
And when it’s time to embrace the outdoors, throw open the French doors to the back deck. Whether you’re sipping coffee at sunrise or grilling at sunset, the backdrop of a mature pine grove ensures peace and privacy.
 
 
Off the kitchen, a formal dining room awaits, catching all that gorgeous natural light—ideal for hosting holiday dinners or intimate family evenings. And for the ultimate entertaining touch, there’s a built-in bar area with a beverage fridge, making it easy to keep the good times flowing.
 
 
A Primary Suite Designed for Relaxation
 
The primary bedroom suite is a private sanctuary, boasting two closets and a spa-like en suite bathroom.
 
 
A wet room with a soaking tub and Spanish-tiled shower makes every day feel like a getaway.
 
 
Three additional bedrooms,
 
 
Two more bathrooms, and a spacious laundry room fill out the other wing of the home, offering plenty of room for everyone to relax and unwind.
 
 
Outdoor Living at Its Finest
 
The 400-sq-ft front porch invites you to dine al fresco, lounge with a good book, or simply soak in the views. The sprawling yard? Big enough for a pool, guesthouse, or a wide-open play space for kids and pups. And with no HOA and the Fort Lamar community boat ramp just around the corner, you can bring your boat and leave your worries behind.
 
 
Unbeatable Location
 
All this, just 15 minutes from downtown Charleston and 5 minutes from Folly Beach—location doesn’t get better than this. This slice of paradise on James Island is move-in ready and waiting for its first lucky owner. Schedule your showing today before it’s gone!
