Along the water’s edge in Moncks Corner, this modern four-bedroom residence pairs a drive-under layout with crisp, detail-rich interiors. A dramatic coffered ceiling defines the living room, while Knotty Pine floors bring warmth through the main living areas. In the primary suite, refined crown molding adds a tailored finish, and throughout the home, every window is outfitted with high-end Roman shades or plantation shutters. Daily life is streamlined by a private elevator serving all three floors, plus the reassurance of a full-house generator. Outdoors, Trex decking extends living space on both upper and lower levels, set against a new seawall (October 2024). A 2020 deep-water dock with floater, water, and power makes time on the water feel effortless, with a sprinkler system and buried dog fence completing the grounds.
