Keeping Daniel Island Clean

The City of Charleston's Keep Charleston Beautiful hosted a cleanup event to remove litter and other discarded materials from Governor's Park on Daniel Island on Saturday, July 14, 2012 from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. The public was invited to come help keep Charleston beautiful. So grabbed a pal and joined it. This cleanup will greatly improve the look and feel of the park, and will help restore the areas around the trails to their natural beauty.

New Construction Ready for A Family

We're in the middle of July and things have been heating up in the Lowcountry when it comes to home sales. On Daniel Island, we've seen our sales up 60% ahead of last year at this time. There's plenty of new construction happening on the island. This marvelous home on Daniel Island is almost complete and is ready for a family to call it home.  Located at 251 Furman Farm Place in Daniel Island Park, this 5 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home will be finished at the end of July. Here's more on this amazing new construction: 

Located within the country club neighborhood of Daniel Island Park, this beautiful home is situated on a corner homesite with glimpses of the nationally ranked Ralston Creek golf course which is bordered by scenic marshes. The well-designed floor plan includes an elegant dining room off the foyer that adjoins a butler’s pantry complete with a beverage center.

  

A living room located across from the dining room opens into a library with built-in bookshelves and beyond to the large family room, providing an abundance of living space.

The spacious family room features a lovely coffered ceiling, a fireplace with built-ins on each side and access to a screened porch. The kitchen/breakfast room is an inviting and comfortable space with plenty of room for eating and cooking.

The gourmet kitchen includes Thermador and Electrolux appliances with separate fridge and freezer, custom cabinets and a large center island. A mud room with built-in cubbies and a desk is located off the breakfast room and has access to the two-car garage. On the second floor are two bedrooms that share a Jack and Jill bath as well as the expansive master suite. The master suite is truly a luxurious getaway with a private terrace, fireplace, his and her walk-in closets and a soothing bath with a spa tub, double vanities and a walk-in shower.

Perfect for overnight guests, there is suite complete with a common area, two bedrooms and a full bath located over the garage. Other features include impact resistant windows, an outdoor kitchen and extensive landscaping. This property includes Daniel Island Club social membership privileges. An invitational golf membership may also be purchased. To see more photos of this home, click here!

Fun on Daniel Island

Fun at the Pierce Park Pavillion on Saturday

I had a great time on Saturday at the "Pork N' Pearls" event.  They had a great turnout and a wonderful time was had by all.  It was another event that reminded me how lucky we are to live here on Daniel Island!  Thought you'd enjoy some of my favorite photos!

Things Are Looking Up!

Overall, I've seen the market really pick up in the last couple of weeks which is wonderful.  Here at Daniel Island Real Estate, we've sold several water/marsh view lots and activity is generally much brisker.  In looking at the inventory statistics for Daniel Island, numbers are gradually decreasing in just about all price ranges which is good news for those of you thinking about selling.  I feel very positive about the year ahead - things are already looking up!  

I also wanted to share some exciting news from our sales meeting today.  We had an update from our Marketing Department.  We have some great ads running nationally in magazines and online which bring buyers to Daniel Island from all over the country and the world.  Take a look at the Wall Street Journal online -  Wall Street Journal Online - great exposure for our wonderful Island Town!!

A New Cookie Krumbs Video

My CookieKrumbs, Chloe and Katie, have created a wonderful new video on the Daniel Island Club that I wanted to share - Daniel Island Club Video   They came to work with me last week for Career Day and I had such fun with them.  They did a lot of filming for their next video too - stay tuned!

Some Optimism For You

I thought this was a great article to share.  I'm optimistic about the year ahead and thought I'd share this positive perspective.   I hope you are all out there enjoying this gorgeous Spring weather!
