Serene Charleston Estate With Elegant Waterside Views

This classic brick mansion boasts expansive vistas that are as generous as its architecture. A private boardwalk flanked with pink-tipped ornamental grasses, palmettos and stately old trees give the grounds a sense of place, while the flickering flames in the wrought-iron lampposts, the tawny weathered stones of the patio and the curvaceous urns that counterbalance a covered seating area and outdoor fireplace give them a sense of history.

Backyard With Black Wrought Iron Gate

A black wrought-iron fence protects the swimming pool area, but isn't at all imposing on the views out to the water.
