Property Description

Located at 1715 Houghton Drive is a beautifully maintained, single-story mid-century cottage in the Laurel Park subdivision that perfectly blends classic character with modern updates. Situated on a massive, HOA-free 0.38-acre lot, the move-in ready residence features over 1,250 square feet of inviting living space with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a versatile office space that easily serves as a third bedroom or creative studio.Recent major capital improvements provide ultimate peace of mind, highlighted by a brand-new roof installed in 2023 and a new HVAC system added in 2024.

The exterior is an entertainer's dream, centered around a gigantic backyard that is perfect for pets, play, and summer gatherings. Outdoor living is elevated by a large, covered deck, and a wood deck ideal for dining al fresco, and a relaxing back porch designed for enjoying the Lowcountry breeze completely bug-free. The expansive property grounds also feature tool shed for extra storage or gardening projects.

Location is everything on James Island, and this property is perfectly positioned directly between the historic charm of downtown Charleston and the surf at Folly Beach. Daily conveniences are just around the corner, with Earth Fare grocery nearby, while outdoor adventures await at the James Island County Park--famed for its miles of trails, climbing wall, dog park, and splash zone. Boating enthusiasts will love being just one mile (approximately 5 minutes) from the Riverland Terrace Boat Landing, which grants direct water access to the Wappoo Cut and Stono River. Right next to the landing, Plymouth Park offers a playground and scenic waterfront benches to watch the sunset.

The surrounding neighborhood features vibrant, casual dining with waterfront seafood and marsh views, alongside nearby gathering spots for relaxed nights out. Families will benefit from excellent educational opportunities, as the property is zoned for highly desirable local schools including Murray Lasaine Elementary, Camp Road Middle, and James Island Charter High School. Ultimately, this rare property offers the perfect slice of James Island history, land, and lifestyle.

The owner will consider a VA loan assumption as well as other financing options.

Angie was absolutely amazing throughout our home-buying journey. From day one, she took the time to explain every step of the process and made sure both Jeffrey and I understood what was happening and what our options were. As first-time buyers, that guidance meant so much to us. Her communication was excellent and she was always available to answer questions, kept us informed, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. Angie was also a fantastic negotiator. She successfully negotiated seller-paid closing costs and helped ensure that the repairs we requested were addressed, saving us both money and stress. What stood out most was how confident she made us feel throughout the entire process. She never pressured us and always took the time to help us make informed decisions that were right for our family. We truly felt like she was advocating for us every step of the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor and are so grateful for everything Angie did to help us get into our new home. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and caring real estate professional!
