Imagine a leisurely breakfast with the garden in view, an afternoon gathering that moves between the kitchen and deck, or an evening meal that ends outside beneath the trees. The main floor primary suite offers a retreat of its own. A spacious bedroom opens to a private sitting area with windows, where views of the pool, lawn, and mature landscape create a peaceful place to begin or end the day. Two walk-in closets provide generous storage, including a substantial dressing closet where an exposed-brick chimney, extensive shelving, and decorative lighting make even a practical space memorable. The primary bath continues that attention to detail with a freestanding clawfoot tub, two individual vanities, framed mirrors and pendant lighting. A separate glass enclosed shower includes a built-in bench, recessed niche, and rainfall-style showerhead, while a separate water closet adds privacy. The four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath layout also includes a second main-floor bedroom with an adjoining full bath, plus two additional bedrooms and two full baths upstairs. These rooms provide flexibility for guests, everyday living, or a dedicated place to work from home. Distinctive vanities, vessel sinks, decorative mirrors, and varied tile details give the secondary baths individual character, while a separate powder room serves the main living spaces.Practical spaces receive thoughtful attention as well. The substantial laundry area includes cabinetry, shelving, hanging space, and a sliding barn style door. A covered breezeway connects the home to the detached garage, whose coordinating roofline, carriage-style door, and vine-covered trellis carry the home's architectural character across the property. Inside, workshop space, shelving, and fixed stairs to an unfinished storage loft provide useful room for tools, projects, hobbies, and outdoor equipment. Out back, the property opens into a setting made for long Lowcountry afternoons. The in-ground pool is surrounded by a broad terrace, with an expansive deck connecting it to the covered rear porch. A poolside pavilion offers a shaded place to relax between swims, while the lawn, mature trees, and surrounding plantings give the outdoor spaces a generous, established feel. There is room to gather around the fire pit, enjoy the garden swings, host an outdoor supper, or simply choose a favorite chair and stay awhile. Picture a swim before lunch, dinner on the porch, and one more conversation beneath the evening sky. Beyond the grounds, the Ashley River becomes part of the appeal. Mateeba Estates' community boat landing brings river access close to home, offering a convenient starting point for time on the water. Explore the changing scenery along the Ashley, enjoy the marsh and wooded banks, and return to your own spacious retreat. The neighboring equestrian setting adds another distinctive dimension. Nearby Middleton Place Equestrian Center offers guided horseback rides through wooded trails, circling South Rice Pond along the Ashley River, a memorable way to experience the surrounding landscape. Historic Ashley River Road, a designated National Scenic Byway, connects this setting with some of the region's most compelling gardens and historic sites. Spend an afternoon exploring Middleton Place, then return for dinner overlooking the Azalea Hillside and Mill Pond. Discover the gardens, nature trails, and Audubon Swamp Garden at Magnolia Plantation & Gardens, or explore Drayton Hall's preserved architecture and riverside landscape. The area offers reasons to return throughout the year. Magnolia's seasonal wine strolls, live music, cultural programs, and holiday concerts add another layer to the possibilities for an afternoon out or an evening with friends. Here, garden walks, horseback rides, river outings, and time at home can all become part of your own Lowcountry routine. With Charleston and Summerville within a 10 minute reach, shopping, dining, and everyday essentials remain part of a connected lifestyle. Coming home brings you back to the qualities that make this property special: space around you, trees overhead, inviting rooms, and outdoor places you will want to use every day. River days. Poolside afternoons. Garden evenings. Four acres to come home to. Welcome to 128 Wragg Lane.
