209 Cynthia Lane, Charleston

Mornings start slow on Cynthia Lane. Coffee on the terrace, light coming up on the Stono River at the community boat ramp and through the live oaks, stone fire pit still warm from last night, edible garden waiting to be checked on.By midday, the sunroom is where you land with terrazzo floors underfoot, a wood-burning fireplace, light pouring in from every direction. Some afternoons call for the bike and the Greenway carries you straight to Whole Foods and back, easy enough to do without thinking twice. Other evenings, it's the golf cart, and a slow ride to Edgewater Bridge for a sunset that earns every bit of its reputation.Back home, the bay window catches the last of it: Spanish moss dripping from the oaks, the Stono River turning gold, water visible right from where you...unwind for the evening before retreating to the primary suite with sunken shower that feels like a spa experience. Out on the lawn, a ship anchor and heirloom hydrangeas have kept watch since long before you got here, the kind of details you inherit, not ones you can buy. Down at the community boat ramp, the water is right there whenever you want it, with none of the maintenance that usually comes with it. Yes, it's in a flood zone. And no, it didn't flood during the 500-year storm, Hurricane Matthew, or Hurricane Irma. French drains have been added for extra peace of mind. We tell you upfront, because sanctuary is in every piece of this home. The assumable VA loan is ready for you as well. 209 Cynthia Lane isn't asking you to imagine a lifestyle. It's already living one and waiting for you to join.
