Property Description

This two-story home offers a thoughtfully designed floor plan with multiple living spaces and scenic views from nearly every room. Positioned at the end of Lawton Place on James Island, 740 Lawton Place is a prominent residence overlooking the main expanse of the 24-acre Lake Frances, just off Harborview Road. A welcoming full front porch, framed by majestic oak trees, sets the stage for quintessential Lowcountry living in an updated James Island home. As you approach, the gentle rustle of leaves in the low county breeze greets you, inviting you to relax before you even step inside. To the left of the home, a discreet single garage with both front and rear doors ensure convenient access while preserving the home's picturesque curb appeal.Upon entry, a spacious foyer provides a central hub that naturally guides you throughout the home. To the left, a generous dining room awaits family gatherings and celebrations. To the right, the expansive family room stretches the entire width of the house, featuring a cozy fireplace, built-in shelving, and ample space for entertaining or quiet evenings in. Straight ahead, the kitchen is bathed in natural light from a series of windows, offering serene views of the screened porch and the lake beyond. Imagine gentle breezes drifting through the porch as you watch herons, geese and osprey glide across the water.
The main-level owner's suite is conveniently located to the left of the kitchen, offering privacy and comfort. Glass doors in the kitchen, living room, and owner's suite provide seamless access to the deck and screened porch, where you can savor your morning coffee while sunlight dances through the oak trees. The view encompasses Lake Francis and lush, mature landscaping that enhances the tranquil setting.
Upstairs, a central landing leads to a secondary owner's suite complete with a full bathroom and ample closet space, perfect for accommodating guests or family members. On the opposite side of the landing, two spacious bedrooms share a full bathroom at the end of the hallway, ensuring comfort and convenience for everyone.
Step into the beautifully landscaped backyard, which gracefully encircles the lake and features a platform dock ideal for launching paddle-powered or electric motorboats under 10 HP. In the evenings, unwind with a drink on your screened porch and enjoy the lively display of birds and fish as the sun sets across the water.
Discover more about this exceptional home by exploring the photos and floorplan tour. Your dream lake lifestyle awaits at 740 Lawton Place.
