Do you remember the Seinfeld episode where George figured he might have a better shot at happiness and success if he did the exact opposite of his natural inclination?

I’m pulling a Costanza today. I’m resisting my urge to write about the coast, deepwater, grand homes, and gracious Lowcountry living. Instead, I’m returning to 43.3 acres in rural Rowesville, South Carolina.

No cocktails on the center console here. Think sweet tea, deep-frying a Thanksgiving turkey, watching college football, and shooting s***t.

At 703 Bay Road, the main house follows Southern Living’s Four Gables plan, with a wide front porch, a metal roof, and a screened porch overlooking the countryside. There’s also a two-bedroom cottage built in 2024, a pond, cook shed, and more room to roam than most of us know what to do with. Bring the whole family for Thanksgiving. If everyone needs a little space, you’ll have plenty to spare.

Buying the place may not land you a job with the Yankees, but you can put your parents in the guest cottage, and if they take back the marble rye, you may never even notice. Apologies if you're not up on your Seinfeld trivia. 😆

It started as a simple question.

“Henry, would you rather live at 734 Pitt Street in the Old Village, or—”

“734 Pitt Street.”

She hadn’t even finished. Choice B could have been a mansion South of Broad, a beachfront compound on Sullivan’s Island, or something equally spectacular on Kiawah. I didn’t need to hear it.

This is my favorite home currently for sale in the Charleston area. There, I said it.

It began life as a modest cottage in 1900. More than a century later, it has a pool house (which is an understatement as it sleeps four), nearly half an acre of grounds, and the kind of presence that makes you slow down as you pass. Inside, someone took chances--and knew exactly what they were doing. Out back, a 34-foot saltwater pool sits among the landscaping. Then you remember you’re in the Old Village, with the Pitt Street Bridge, Shem Creek, and Charleston Harbor close enough to reach on foot.

Money can do a lot to a house. Good taste is harder to come by. Somehow, 734 Pitt Street has both.

Take a look at the photos and tell me: Would you have waited to hear Choice B?

In real estate, we try to assign value to things we can identify: a home’s size, its acreage, its features. At 6827 Limehouse Road in Awendaw, that list includes a deepwater dock on the Intracoastal Waterway, a heated and chilled saltwater pool, and a rustic yet beautifully refined four-bedroom, five-bath home on .71 acres.

The harder part is assigning value to how a place makes you feel.

What’s it worth to hear your kids or grandkids squealing in the pool while you’re sitting on the screened porch? To take the boat out on any tide without packing the car first? To sit on the dock with your favorite person and a drink, watching the sun dissolve into the water?

Inside, the exposed beams and brick fireplace give the house a warmth that suits its setting. Outside, the pool, porch, lawn and water offer several convincing reasons to postpone whatever you were supposed to do that afternoon.

The asking price is $1,990,000. That tells you what it costs to buy the property. What it might feel like to live here is harder to put a number on.

To me, that’s the mark of a great piece of real estate, and this is clearly one of them.

This stunning James Island house and I were both built in the 1960s.

One of us has since been almost entirely rebuilt with new framing, wiring, plumbing, windows, floors, roof and HVAC.

The other one is me.

Let’s compare:

🏠 The house has a brand-new roof with all-new shingles. I recently got the shingles vaccine.

🏠 It has all-new plumbing, including supply and drain lines. I’d prefer to keep my situation private.

🏠 The electrical system has been completely updated. I still walk into rooms and forget why.

🏠 It has beautiful new white oak floors. I recently ate a grape off the floor--5 second rule.

🏠 The house has two brand-new HVAC systems with 10-year warranties. My internal temperature fluctuates for no apparent reason, and my warranty expired during the Reagan administration.

🏠 It has all-new windows. I have progressive lenses and still can’t read a menu in dim lighting.

🏠 The house has 2,928 square feet. I have two feet and a nagging bunion.

🏠 It has four full bathrooms. Increasingly, I view this as its most impressive feature.

🏠 Approximately 1,200 square feet were added to the house. Most of my additions have settled around my waist.

🏠 After six decades, the house is now worth considerably more than ever. I just rode my bicycle to Publix to save money.

In fairness, we do have a few things in common. We both have good bones (I take vitamin d & glucosamine), plenty of character and look better in flattering afternoon light.

But this home is essentially new construction in the Lawton Bluff neighborhood. Nearly everything was replaced: framing, electrical, plumbing, roof, insulation, drywall, windows, flooring and both HVAC units.

It has 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, a redesigned kitchen with GE Cafe appliances, and a large covered composite deck overlooking a huge backyard with plenty of room for a future pool.

So yes, we were both born in the 1960s.

Only one of us is completely renovated, move-in ready and expected to remain low-maintenance for years. Oh, and the house is being sold fully furnished! Meanwhile, I still have a futon from college.

Yesterday I showed a client this beautiful cottage in Riverland Terrace. This morning I'm off to show another client this waterfront gem that's located just a stone's throw north of Mt. Pleasant.

For a guy who loves architecture, land, the Lowcountry, and good people, I'm pretty sure I have the perfect job.

No time for my normal banter today.

My favorite home currently for sale on James Island just had another price reduction. The seller is relocating and motivated—and someone may be about to get a very good deal.

2125 Medway Road is in Riverland Terrace, one of my three favorite neighborhoods in Charleston. It’s an amazing 1940s cottage that has been beautifully renovated without stripping away everything that made it special in the first place.

This isn’t manufactured real estate urgency. It’s a genuinely good opportunity.

09/20/2026

It’s time we talked about that ugly “A” word.

No, not that one. I’m talking about affordability.

To put things in perspective, this week I filled up my gas tank, paid my electric bill, and took my wife to a romantic dinner at FIG. The grand total cost more than my FIRST CAR!

For real.

Okay, my first car was a second-hand Ford Pinto--but still.

So when I see 1 Rice Court--looking this good, offered at this price, and sitting in a great West Ashley neighborhood close to just about everything--all I can say is hallelujah.

I didn’t create Interesting Homes of Charleston simply to promote listings for the rich and famous. I created the page to share homes with architectural, design, or landscaping value at all price points--and today’s home is a winning trifecta.

I love ranch architecture. I love a spacious, landscaped backyard where you can toss a football without breaking your neighbor's window. And I love clean, renovated interiors that punch well above their weight class.

Even better, this four-bedroom home has had the expensive, decidedly unsexy work done too: updated electrical, HVAC, windows, kitchen, and bathrooms. In other words, “affordable” doesn’t come with an asterisk--or a contractor living in your driveway for the next two years.

At a time when Charleston home prices have become increasingly disconnected from Charleston paychecks, finding a home like this genuinely makes me happy.

Not because it has a w**e cellar, an infinity pool, or a dock large enough for Jeff Bezos's yacht.

Because it’s a good-looking, move-in-ready home in a good neighborhood at a price that still gives someone a fighting chance.

And lately, that may be the most interesting feature of all.

The perfect Lowcountry day? Well, that’s subjective, isn’t it? But since this is my page, let me give it the first shot:

You start with coffee on the back porch, overlooking the pool and Simmons Creek, while everyone else is still asleep and nobody is asking where their goggles are.

A little later, you ease the skiff off your private dock and head toward the Stono River to chase redfish and sea trout through the surrounding creeks. Whether you catch anything is beside the point. You were on the water before breakfast. You’ve already won the day.

By lunchtime, the kids and their friends have taken over the saltwater pool. Fortunately, the outdoor cabana has its own bathroom and shower--which means there's a fighting chance that nobody wet and dripping enters the house.

The U.S. Open (golf not tennis) is playing on both outdoor televisions, because watching golf on only one television is apparently how people lived during the Middle Ages. Burgers are on the Blackstone griddle, cold drinks are in the beverage drawers, and nobody is going anywhere.

As evening arrives, everyone migrates toward the firepit. The sun drops over Simmons Creek, the sky takes on that orangey red hue that we all love, and you begin wondering whether going inside is really necessary.

That’s my version, anyway. Of course in real life there's probably a skinned knee or the gluten-free friend who needs his burger on a bed of lettuce that you're all out of--but this is my perfect day so please don't rain on my parade!

Built in 2023 on a beautifully landscaped .70-acre waterfront lot, 2914 Caroline Rose Path on Johns Island offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and 3,141 square feet--plus a private dock and floater with direct access to the Stono River, a saltwater pool, outdoor kitchen, cabana and some convincing evidence that staying home all weekend may be the best idea you've ever had.

And unlike plenty of homes that I feature, this one appears to be priced right on the money. I don’t expect it to last long.

Deepwater has its perks.

But the true Prince of Tides lives on a tidal creek.

At this James Island home, the water doesn’t answer to you. You check the tide chart, watch the weather, time the launch and wait for the creek to say when.

Then a 19-foot bay boat eases into the water from a 7,000-pound lift--remote control, auto-stop, no drama--and the whole day opens up like it was waiting for you the entire time.

Back at the house, patience is no longer required. The current owners already did the waiting for you. This place was taken down to the studs and subfloor, and what survived is basically the address and the water view. The end result is spectacular.

New electrical. New plumbing. New roof. The unglamorous stuff nobody posts pictures of, all quietly handled.

Inside, there’s a floating staircase, dual primary suites and a kitchen with quartz counters, a 36-inch GE Cafe range and a scullery with its own sink, refrigerator and microwave drawer--essentially a second kitchen whose entire job is hiding the evidence that you cook in the first one.

Out back: a covered deck with a ceiling fan and louvered lower level, private boat ramp, dock, floating dock, seawall and whole-house generator.

And there’s no HOA, so nobody’s holding a committee meeting to determine whether you can smoke a brisket in your Big Green Egg in the driveway on a Tuesday.

The next Prince of Tides won’t be waiting on contractors--only the tide.

📍 James Island
🌊 True tidal-creek frontage
📐 0.43 acre
🚫 No HOA
