**Not Your Typical Mount Pleasant House Near Sullivan's Island: 4 Spacious Bedrooms, Each with Their Own Bath, on a Botanical Garden Lot**A truly special Mount Pleasant home with an extraordinary garden, a walkable coastal location, and plenty of personality. Tucked into a quiet, one-way-in-one-way-out, no-HOA neighborhood approximately 2 miles from Sullivan's Island, this renovated two-story home offers 2,407 square feet, 4 spacious bedrooms, and 4.5 bathrooms, every bedroom with its own private bath. Built in 1989, it was gutted and renovated to the studs in 2018, with oak hardwoods throughout and light from every angle. Walk to grocery stores, coffee, restaurants, medical care, and the Pitt Street Bridge, and enjoy an unusually easy, private way of life at home.
The main level includes a first-floor bedroom suite and a kitchen anchored by a 48-inch BlueStar gas range, a commercial-quality BlueStar refrigerator built for residential use, a Miele oven with Moisture Plus steam-assist technology, a black walnut butcher block island, a stainless pot rack, a Barclay farmhouse sink with Rohl brass fixtures, quartz countertops, and a Talavera tile backsplash. The living room's wood-burning fireplace is framed in Talavera tile and plumbed for gas logs, with French doors to the front porch.
Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms each have en suite baths, including a primary suite with 10-foot ceilings, quartzite counters, a Victoria + Albert soaking tub, and brass fixtures. Secondary baths feature Kohler, Toto, Rohl, California Faucets, and Grohe in nickel and chrome.
The real magic is outside. The yard feels like a private retreat: mature trees planted over the years have grown into a natural, leafy screen, offering seclusion alongside the fenced perimeter. The entire property is fully enclosed, front, back, and side, making it ideal and worry-free for pets and little ones. A large screened porch with a doggie door overlooks this fully fenced, pesticide-free, naturalistic cottage garden, personally designed by the homeowner, a master gardener, and filled with mature and exotic plantings meant to be lived in, not simply looked at. Highlights include a historic wrought iron gate from downtown Charleston, muscadine vines, camellias, citrus, persimmon, mulberry, loquat, blueberries, and Eagleston hollies, fed by well-water irrigation on a digital, lockable timer. Something is always blooming, growing, or visiting. Native plantings draw abundant birds, butterflies, and pollinators, with 35 bird species recorded here during Cornell's Great Backyard Bird Count.
Recent improvements include two new Carrier HVAC systems with air scrubbers (Nov. 2025), a brand-new well pump, fresh paint, and a whole-house surge protector. Additional features include a detached garage with workshop and off-street parking. Zoned for highly regarded schools, and just a walk or bike to Sullivan's Island, grocery stores, healthcare, and coffee shops, with no HOA and low traffic.
