1462 Thompson Ave, Sullivans Island, SC 29482

This deepwater property is in the most desirable location for boating access in all of Charleston County! Located on The Cove of Sullivan's Island, the views of the Intracoastal Waterway are breathtaking, and the proximity to Charleston Harbor is as close as you can get! The specific location of this property on The Cove is truly fantastic in that the water is more like a lake than a creek. It is very calm, and the whole creek is a no wake zone which makes it very kid-friendly for swimming, fishing, kayaking, and any other water activity you can think of. Furthermore, the sunset views over the harbor from the pier head are truly a sight to see. The wildlife is also abundant with manatees who will swim up to the dock for a drink of fresh water from the hose, and dolphins who may give you a splash of water with their tail as they cruise by. Not only is this the most incredible location as far as the property goes, but this is really a "borrow a cup of sugar" neighborhood which is full of kids and families. On any given evening you will see people in the streets visiting with each other or waving as they drive by on their golf carts. While I was over at the house on Sunday afternoon, a neighbor and his kids were passing by the dock in their boat. The neighbor called the owners of the house and asked the owners to step out onto their screened porch to see the fish he had caught, and he held up a huge Spot-Tailed Bass that he had just caught at the northern end of The Cove. Where else are you going to find that kind of "Norman Rockwell" sense of neighborhood? The dock is fully equipped with a 4-piling boat lift, large pier head with roof and a large floating dock. The adjacent road right-of-way of this property not only allows for extra privacy between the neighboring houses, but it also allows for added privacy and space between the neighboring docks. Not only is the location of this property fantastic, the construction is years before it's time. Built in 1990, the foundation is stronger and more secure than is required today. The solid conctrete piers are driven 65 feet into the ground all the way down to hard rock for the ultimate in strength and support. The piers are also through-bolted with multiple brackets, and the addition of numerous steel flitch plates and steel beams make this house extremely durable in any type of storm. The house is traditional with wood panelling and pickled bead-board ceilings throughout the main living area which includes the family room with huge woodburning fireplace, the spacious kitchen, the master suite, all of which are wide open to the incredible views. There is also a full width screened porch overlooking the water which is where you would spend most of your time. Upstairs there are 3 more bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and bonus room. There is also an upper deck that has even more panoramic views than downstairs. Don't miss this opportunity of a lifetime as the property has not been for sale for 30 years.
