Let peace wash over you as you make your way to 7848 Pelican Bay Dr within Bulls Bay Overlook, a tranquil upscale gated community with its own private neighborhood dock, pavilion facility, and boat ramp along a peacefully natural section of the Intracoastal Waterway. Take an enjoyable 15 minute uncongested drive slightly north of Mt Pleasant schools, shopping, dining, and hospital to this well-crafted elevated home sitting on an estate-sized 1.7 acres complete with an impressive long, circular driveway. Thoughtfully planned architecture includes an inverted floor plan, purposefully enabling outstanding views of the Intracoastal Waterway and Bulls Bay from the second floor large exterior deck space that spans the entire length of the interior's open floor plan main living, dining/kitchen..and entertainment areas. The sliding glass doors on either end of the deck not only invite the Lowcountry's coastal salty air to waft inside, but also allow an uninhibited flow for interior/exterior entertaining- truly embracing the incredible natural surroundings of this location. Not only are there spectacular water views, serene sunrises can also be a daily renewal ritual for early risers. A wood burning fireplace and convenient powder room complete the second floor main living space. The first floor of this inverted floor plan offers three generous primary-sized bedrooms, each having its own large double-vanity ensuite bathroom and deep walk-in closet, privately situated off of the graciously sized entryway foyer. Two of the three bedrooms provide a sliding glass door out to their own private balcony, offering glimpses of the water and open view of the expansive front yard. The laundry space and multiple closet storage spaces can also be found at this main entry level. On the ground level is a side-loading, enormous two bay garage with four 10' x 10' garage doors, which allow for various sized trailered boats and/or smaller campers to be driven straight through- So, boaters and camping enthusiast, no need to worry about tediously backing in or out for each excursion. There is a large storage room off to the side in the garage level that may be an ideal space to turn into an enclosed future workshop. As a bonus treasure within the ground level garage space is a scrub/mud bathroom space- equipped with a shower, sink, and toilet to wash off the remnants of the outdoorsy, natural adventures out on the water or perhaps just for a convenient clean-up so that larger messes don't get tracked up and into the living areas of this beautiful home. Outside at the rear of the home, a stone fire pit was recently added to gather around on our more crisp Lowcountry evenings. Some notable recent improvements include both HVAC systems-- upstairs in 2022 & downstairs in 2023; water heater in 2023; new septic lines and septic clean out, with emergency overflow system in 2023; waterproofing and painting upper deck in 2024; new carpeting installed in each bedroom (Sept) 2024; minor wall/ceiling repairs and neutral paint throughout entire home (finishing the week of 10/11/24); many new lighting fixtures and remote operated fans installed throughout home (Sept) 2024. 7848 Pelican Bay Drive has served as both a beloved primary and secondary/weekender home for previous owners.

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)
