Beautiful executive home overlooks Essex Pond reminiscent of Colonial Lake downtown is turn-key ready. Surrounded by protected wetlands and highly sought after Essex at Carolina Bay is well-located: only 7 miles to CHS International Airport & BOEING; 12 miles to MUSC; and according to Google maps, about 30 minutes to any of four area beaches (Isle of Palms County Beach Park, Folly Beach, Sullivans Island and Kiawah Beachwalker Park). Shopping, dining, golf, parks, medical care are all quite convenient. The resort-like ESSEX amenity center is just a hop, skip and a jump down the sidewalk. You could even kayak out to the Charleston Harbor from the natural kayak launch found there along with a zero-entry pool, covered pavilion with oversized fireplace, oyster pit, and children's play park amid palmetto and oak trees. This desirable all hardiplank-clad neighborhood is lined with sidewalks, trees and nature trails. The home itself is just 3 years old and features an Owners Suite downstairs for a total of 4 BDs and 3-1/2BAs. The upscale kitchen includes expected upgrades of hardwood floors, upgraded cabinets, granite, and stainless steel. An electric range is included, but a gas line is in place for a gas or dual fuel range. Dining room leads to the adjacent kitchen which opens to a large great room and out to the screened back porch. 1913 Mentella Cove is a modern version of the iconic Charleston single house complete with the signature front door, flickering Charleston gas lantern at the front door, and double piazzas for cool breezes from Essex Pond and nearby marshes. The elevated home adds the ease of entry from the garage over 2-1/2 times the size of the 20' x 25' detached garages in the neighborhood. Extra room for storage, parking, a gardening nook, workout space, man cave, storage for your kayaks and more, or...? Upstairs find 3 nicely sized bedrooms, two full bathrooms, including a Jack & Jill, and a generous 27'4'' x 15'5'' flex space with access to lovely views from the upstairs piazza. Plantation shutters throughout, newly fenced in backyard, substantial landscaping and protected wetlands behind this home add to the great appeal. Come see for yourself. You will be pleased you did.
