Tucked away in a quiet West Ashley neighborhood, nestled among live oak trees adorned in Spanish moss, there sits a beautiful property that speaks to the soul in a language of peacefulness and tranquility. Palmetto trees flank the entry leading up to the front door of 1625 McClain Street. As you climb the stairs to the front door, you may feel a sense of protection from mother nature all around you. Take a deep breath. You are home. Once inside, the first floor features a classic foyer with a powder room on your right to give your guests a convenient place to freshen up. The open living room & its large windows with views of the Stono River & John's Island beyond is a perfect place to gather friends and family on cozy fall evenings. The hearth space is inviting & awaits winter fires. Adjacent to the living room is the newly redesigned and remodeled chef's kitchen. A custom built crescent shaped banquet is complimented by the vaulted ceiling accented in red oak giving this room scores of depth. Countertop appliances are conveniently stored within the custom solid wood cabinetry up top and down below. The Viking range, Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer, double stainless steel sink, separate beverage cooler, and Brazilian polished quartzite countertops place this kitchen in a class by itself. The large picture window looking out onto the marsh and beyond may just inspire you to wash the dishes after every meal. It is that beautiful here. Oak flooring throughout the home has been tastefully redone in a light matte finish, echoing spartina grass in the winter and the fine sand found on our nearby beaches. Dual primary bedrooms are found on the first and second floor and have both been remodeled to accommodate a number of options for use. Bunk rooms for kids and their sleepovers, office space for those of you working from home, or convert one of these rooms to a separate mother-in-law suite for your loved ones. The flex space upstairs makes for an excellent den or a state of the art media room for the teenagers and may possibly keep them out of your hair. If that doesn't work there is always your outdoor space, a nature preserve in and of itself at the end of this quaint West Ashley neighborhood street. Close to the home at the foot of the back porch steps is a low maintenance salt water pool with a large deck to accommodate barbecues and birthday parties. As you explore the over half acre of waterfront property surrounding the house you will notice your own private boat launch. Whether you're a kayaker, paddle boarder, or an avid fisherman with a flats boat hoping to chase down some tailing red drum, this feature just steps from your in-ground pool is coastal living at its finest. Raised and irrigated garden beds await the homesteader in you. With a managed bee hive just beyond the garden, you will have more honey than you know what to do with. The symbiosis between the pollinators and whatever you decide to plant in your garden beds are yet another aspect of this incredible home that will keep you calm and connected to rhythms of nature all around. The fenced area near the garden beds provides a convenient run for the family dog. Just open the door to the garage, and let your pup run down from the first floor to stretch his legs or water the grass! Birding, crabbing, and shrimping are all possible for you and your family here at 1625 McClain. If you're not a nature lover yet, living on this land will open your eyes to the magic all around, just outside your door. The current owner has made many upgrades to the property to ensure safety during any heavy weather events. A full solar array complimented by 3 Tesla Powerwalls can run the home for days in the event of a power loss. A 220v EV charger has been conveniently installed in the 4 bay garage underneath the home to keep you moving without ever having to visit a gas station. A dehumidifier has also been installed in the garage to keep the storage climate dry in the lowcountry humidity. An elevator makes the loading and unloading of groceries and other items easy and fun. Networked thermostats allow for control of the dual zone HVAC system while away from home. A tankless water heater provides endless hot water for you and your family and laundry hookups on each floor mean you never have to tote the dirty clothes hampers again! The hardwired sound system has speakers placed throughout the home and will have the whole gang singing in the showers. A security system with outdoor cameras is in place and ready to go, even though this massive property is somewhat hidden at the end of the street, quiet and secure. Book your visit to 1625 McClain today. You won't want to leave.
About Me
What makes me different and more worthy than any other agent? Great Question…
1.) I have been in the real estate industry since 1998
2.) At 29 years old I founded a wholesale mortgage firm here in Charleston and as such being the President/CEO I was responsible for overseeing 13 team members, two branches, ALL the marketing functions, business development, training of real estate agents in financing, training of my loan officers, and making sure over $85 Million in loans got closed. Of which most were purchases. So I have REAL business knowledge and real estate is business vs an agent without that savvy business skills.
3.) I graduated from University of S.C. where my major was media arts. What’s that mean? What you are reading right now is media. Everything you see and hear is media. Everything on a computer is digital media, websites, video, photographs, and audio. I studied video production, photography/lighting courses, audio recording, and more. Even post cards, billboards, news paper are ALL media, print media. (Although it’s an antiquated media). With that knowledge your home will have the most beautiful representation to the prospective buyers, instead of most of what you see out there (poorly lit, poorly framed, bad photos and video that put off buyers).
4.) 95% OF ALL REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BEGIN WITH THE INTERNET… PERIOD, IT IS FACT. I am a digital internet marketing expert. I consult other businesses on how to harness the internet’s power through web design, SEO (search engine optimization), content marketing, image marketing, user experience design, online ad management and more.
When listing a home for sale there isn't an exact science to it, but what is required is knowing all the facts, and that's where I come in. What's a home valuation really anyway?
Estimating the value of real property is important to a variety reasons, but for most people, determining the asking or purchase price of a property is the most useful application of real estate valuation. This article will provide an introduction to the basic concepts and methods of real estate valuation, particularly as it pertains to real estate sales.
That's all well and good, however what most home owners in Charleston SC and the U.S. really want to know is what's my property worth now if I were to try to sell it? The most common method  that 90% of listing agent use is:Â
The Sales Comparison Approach.
Value -
A main consideration in appraising is to determine a property’s value: the present worth of future benefitsarising from the ownership of real property. Unlike many consumer goods such as oil, lumber, food, etc. that are quickly used, the benefits of real property are generally realized over a long period of time. Therefore, an estimate of a property’s value must take into consideration economic and social factors, as well as governmental controls or regulations and environmental conditions that may influence the four elements of value:
- Demand – the desire or need for ownership supported by the financial means to satisfy the desire;
- Utility – the ability to satisfy future owners’ desires and needs;
- Scarcity – the finite supply of competing properties
- Transfer-ability – the ease with which ownership rights are transferred.
– What have the homes that are MOST comparable to yours (subject property) sold for recently per sq ft., and  what is currently for sale (taking into account scarcity from above)?
– What are the prices being asked by your competing listings in and around your neighborhood.
Other Factors inside the two primary ones above include: (age of home, physical features, location, conditions of the sale, economic conditions)
