Waterside Retreat: Lowcountry Home on the Marsh
Vast stretches of marshland surround this home on James Island, S.C., treating the owners to views of the Lowcountry and all the plants and wildlife that inhabit it. Raised walkways follow along the water's edge and give the owners a path to the patio and deck, without disturbing the serene setting.
