REDUCED! CHARMING LAKE HOUSE w/acreage, 10 mi to Charleston

Price reduction!

Setting simply cannot be duplicated at any price!  These grand trees plus water frontage & the ambience are priceless!  And the added bonus of equal road frontage for easy subdividing gives instant extra value.  Plus there is plenty of room back on the lake to expand the cottage, build a garage with an apartment for more living space or vacation rental income, or room to build an entire 2nd house.....all with a water view!!!  You won't find that anywhere else.....and at this price.  (vacant lots right across the road have sold for $200,000 +, with no house, no water view, no nice trees, covered with scrubby growth that must be cleared off, swampy land that won't perk for septic tank......)  Take advantage of this new low price before one of several interested buyers waiting for their own places to sell is finally ready to buy my Mulberry Cottage.  It will not be reduced again.

MULBERRY COTTAGE is a very peaceful, private lakefront retreat and is ideal for a 2nd home or for empty nesters.  The cottage is nicely situated on over two amazing acres (more acreage available).  The fenced backyard is HUGE!!!  The mature trees, including majestic moss-draped oaks are simply priceless, as is the wonderful view!  Being located along the migratory Atlantic Flyway makes Mulberry Cottage a birder's paradise.  If you love nature and wildlife, you will love Mulberry Cottage!  There is an 11' deep rocking-chair porch that runs along the entire back of the cottage from which to view nature at its best or listen to the night sounds.  The morning mist rising off the private stocked 10-acre lake is a sight to see, as are the gorgeous sunsets.  Another deep porch runs across the front of the cottage.  Fishing is great, either from the small dock or your own canoe, kayak, or small boat.  The lake meanders like a river before opening up just beyond the cottage and also has a hidden inlet, creating a great place to paddle.  Within the shaded fenced yard, which is fantastic for dogs, there is a garden shed. 

Inside you will find an easy-living open floorplan, with an eat-in kitchen as well as a long bar.  Plenty of glass along the back provides a great view of the trees and the water.  Transom windows flank the true wood-burning fireplace and provide more natural light.  There are ceiling fans in every room and the floors are old pine.  Each of the two bedrooms has a walk-in closet and a full bath w/tile floors, tub/shower combo, cultured marble vanity tops, & comfort height toilets.  Both bedrooms have wonderful large windows, with the south bedroom overlooking the lake.  Kitchen has a new dishwasher, refrigerator w/ice maker, & an electric range.  There are pull-down stairs to the attic, which is floored for extra storage.

Convenient central location, with plenty to see and do within 30 minutes in every direction.  The property is only 10 miles to Charleston city limits, 13 miles to Roper St. Francis Hospital, 10 minutes to Stono Ferry golf, 3 miles to CawCaw County Park, and best of all, you'll find almost everything you could need just 1 mile from the cottage....shopping, dining, pharmacy, post office, bank, car wash, gas, even a Charleston County satellite service center to pay taxes, etc. without dealing with the downtown traffic.  There's a great private school within 4 miles and the new public school is just 2 miles down the road.  This truly is Charleston County's best-kept secret, a wonderful hidden pocket in the lovely rural West Ashley countryside.  This is the best road in Ravenel.  It is a wonderful, quiet area surrounded by nice developments w/estate lots & attractive, well-kept homes.  Neighbors are great!  Many are retired.

Other features include:  brick exterior *** the cleanest/driest crawlspace you'll ever find***plenty of room for horses out front***pecan, apple, loquat, pear trees & blueberries*** plenty of room for expansion (or another house)***cable T.V. & cable internet available***city water***all electric***low utilities ***no HOA means no fees & no bickering!!!
