Property Description
Some places are discovered. Others are quietly treasured for generations.Tucked at the very end of one of James Island's most picturesque roads, 989 Three Trees Road is a property that feels worlds away from the ordinary. Beneath a canopy of magnificent trees, this secluded cul-de-sac unfolds with the timeless beauty of the Lowcountry -- the kind of quintessential Southern setting that feels lifted from a classic film. Here, the birds provide the morning soundtrack, the wind whispers through the pines, and the pace of life seems to slow beneath the trees. It is the rare feeling of living in the country, with the conveniences of James Island just minutes away.Built in 1977 and offered for sale for the very first time, this exceptionally maintained, original-owner brick home occupies an expansive homesite of approximately 2 acres. Set apart by its remarkable privacy, generous grounds, and natural beauty, the property offers something increasingly difficult to find: room to breathe (4 bedrooms + office), space to dream, and the freedom to imagine a life uniquely your own. Inside, pristine hardwood floors bring warmth and timeless character to the home, while thoughtful updates reflect decades of attentive ownership. The inviting gas-log fireplace sets the scene for quiet evenings, and the updated primary bathroom adds a fresh touch to this enduring classic. Every element speaks to a home that has been genuinely cared for, rather than simply prepared for sale. Beyond the home, the possibilities continue. The substantial detached garage features a workshop and lofted space, offering an exceptional opportunity to create the ultimate hobby retreat, a dedicated workshop, a private home office, or simply the storage and workspace that are so difficult to find. Additional covered space accommodates a boat or recreational vehicle, while the expansive grounds invite visions of gardens, outdoor entertaining, or a potential future poolside escape beneath the Lowcountry canopy. Yet perhaps the greatest luxury here is the setting itself. Imagine morning coffee accompanied by birdsong, afternoons spent pursuing favorite projects, and evenings when the only sounds are the breeze moving through the trees. All of this, while shopping, grocery stores, and schools remain just minutes away. Properties like this cannot be recreated. The mature trees, the established setting, the generous acreage, and nearly five decades of meticulous ownership combine to create an offering that is truly singular. Now, for the first time since its construction, 989 Three Trees Road awaits its next chapter -- a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a treasured piece of James Island and discover a quieter, more gracious way of living.
