Welcome to your private, deepwater sanctuary on the Ashley River -- a secluded island retreat that offers stunning views, a waterfront lifestyle, yet still central to everything. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on nearly a half acre, 1528 Hurtes Island Drive is more than a home; it's a front-row seat to the natural beauty and timeless romance of Lowcountry life. Set against the cinematic backdrop of the Ashley River, sip morning coffee and watch the sunrise, feel the breeze and watch the Spanish moss dance in majestic live oaks. This is what you've dreamt of. With a dock shared exclusively by just three Island families leading to deep water--complete with a covered pier head, four large boat slips, an extended sitting area, floating walkways, and exceptional sunsets, yourdays can begin with paddleboarding at sunrise and end with either a docktail or sunset cruise. Win-win.
Inside, the home strikes a harmonious balance between elegance and ease. Refinished hardwood floors, custom built-in cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a grand wood-burning fireplace create spaces that are both refined and inviting. The sunroom, now tiled and painted for comfort year round, frames postcard-worthy river views and opens to a generous entertainers' deck that begs for gatherings under the stars.
Thoughtful upgrades by the current owners include a new roof, HVAC system, fresh interior paint throughout (including shutters, trim, and ceilings), new premium carpeting, custom built-ins next to the fireplace, elegant new light fixtures and lanterns, a fully updated half-bath with custom wallpaper, and extensive landscaping designed to open up panoramic water views while enhancing privacy and curb appeal.
Located in a tucked-away private enclave zoned for top-rated Orange Grove Charter School, yet with close access to I-26 and downtown Charleston, you're minutes from MUSC, The Citadel, and CofC, and premier shopping and dining.
Properties like this, a true deepwater estate on a private Island within Charleston city limits, rarely come available. 1528 Hurtes Island Drive invites you to step into a life of timeless Southern elegance, where every day begins with a sunrise over the Ashley and ends with the quiet lapping of the tide.
Fall in love with the view. Stay for the life it brings.
