About this home
Renovated is an understatement. Thoughtfully transformed, 1229 Chuka Court is a home whose attention to detail is best appreciated in person. The quiet inside, the substantial feel of the finishes, and the care evident throughout create a sense of calm that photographs alone cannot convey. Set on a quiet James Island cul-de-sac, it pairs that personal retreat with convenient access to downtown Charleston's hospitals, restaurants, shopping, and cultural life. Dinner downtown. A concert. Then home to an evening with a book on the screened porch.It may seem surprising to invest more than $326,000 in creating a personal sanctuary, then offer it for less than the combined cost of the purchase and improvements. But for this owner, the joy was in bringing her vision to life--and in passing itforward. She renovated for herself, with meticulous attention to the details that make everyday life feel quieter, more comfortable, and more beautiful. From replacing major mechanicals to the smallest finishing touches, she poured her heart into creating a home she loved living in. Now, someone else has the opportunity to make this personal sanctuary their own.
That care is especially apparent if you appreciate a quieter home. Whole-house impact-resistant windows, installed in 2025, complement the substantial feel of solid-core interior doors and the softness of new carpet underfoot. The atmosphere invites unhurried mornings, conversation, and time to yourself.
Refined design, quality materials, and professional craftsmanship come together in the remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, including the primary bathroom completed in 2026. An updated staircase, stair runner, lighting, and fireplace mantel add character and finish. There is pleasure in the small things here: a door that feels solid in your hand, a comfortable place to settle in, a detail you notice because someone took the time to get it right. The improvements extend even to the air-conditioning vent covers.
The investment also reaches beyond the finishes. The roof and HVAC were replaced in 2023, and that year's improvements also included crawl-space encapsulation, a tankless water heater, and electrical and gas-line updates.
Outside, more than $36,000 in landscape design and plantings complements an expanded deck, added patio, screened porch, and fencing. Morning coffee, dinner with friends, or an evening with no plans at all--these outdoor spaces will become part of your daily routine.
The James Island lifestyle is more than just downtown Charleston's culinary scene, shopping, and the arts; it is mornings by the ocean at nearby Folly Beach; it is wooded walks, bike rides, paddling, and afternoons in the dog park at the James Island County Park. Not surprisingly, it also includes sending your children to the highly rated schools.
Offered at $888,000, 1229 Chuka Court combines these lifestyle connections with something deeply personal--a beautifully finished home where quiet, comfort, and care are felt in the details....
