MLS# 20024082: 1079 Corbetts Alley Johns Island, SC 29455

This property is very unique. It is the Southern Living Sugarberry Cottage and sits on a very private lot (nearly 1 acre) on Johns Island. As you approach the property you will come down a long wooded canopy drive which is Corbett's Alley. The home has two large gravel driveways. The landscaping is mature including palmetto trees and palm shrubs, magnolia trees, large rosemary bushes, flowering shrubs, and lush ground cover. Nestled throughout the landscaping you will see step-stone pathways, a cleared grassy area with a napping hammock, charming garden statues & a bubbling garden fountain. The home is on a 4 foot crawl with steps that lead to a spectacular wrap-a-round front porch with two entries - the front door - and a gorgeousdouble french door that leads to the dining area. Imagine fall and southern winter dinners with the french doors wide open to the porch enjoying garden sights and sounds. The front porch has a brand new ceiling fan. Upon entering the home through the front door you will be in the living room. Immediately you will see the soaring 11 foot ceilings that are throughout. This room also displays the home's beautiful mil-work including moldings, and a stunning custom fireplace complete with gas logs. You will also notice all the natural light coming in through the quality double hung windows. Custom lighting includes sconces over the mantle that will perfectly frame your favorite artwork. The home has solid Tiger-Oak wood floors, plush wall to wall carpeting, and custom tile floors in the full baths. The kitchen is charming with custom cabinetry, high end finishes, and a large built-in sideboard and hutch with glass door cabinets providing lots of storage for all your cooking, baking, and serving/entertaining items. The dining area connects to the kitchen. The double french door in the dining area has a custom stained glass transom window that filters rays of light creating a perfect atmosphere for meals and entertaining. Also, on the first floor is a spacious library which could serve as a home office, media room, den, or as a 4th bedroom as there is a nook that could accommodate a wardrobe or be the perfect spot to contract a closet build out. The master bedroom is located on the first floor and is privately situated at the rear of the home overlooking the backyard. The master bedroom includes a large walk-in closet and a welcoming en suite bathroom with Radiant heated floors. The laundry is conveniently tucked on the first floor hallway leading to the master bedroom. Upstairs you will enter a large open flex room. This space could be used as a family room, kid/teen den, or a home office / craft room if the downstairs library is used as a 4th bedroom. Also, upstairs there are two guest bedrooms with large closets. These rooms are located on opposite sides of the home making them quiet and private to one another. They share a very nice hall bath. The home has new electrical and plumbing. The entire house is served by a water filtration system. The guest cottage is heated and cooled. This unique space stylishly accommodates a kitchen, full bath w/ shower, a dressing area and closet, a sleeping area, a fireplace, and electrical wiring. The cottage can be used for additional family and personal guests. The guest cottage was completely remodeled in 2017 and has it's own septic that pumps into the main septic. Both systems were pumped in 2019. A new well pump was added in 2015 and a new well bladder in 2020. Both houses have a 50 year architectural roof and neither have ever flooded. This is a must see home to fully appreciate it's rare and unique offering. The 2256 sqft reflects the main and cottage homes together. Professional photography and videography coming soon.
