About this home
Imagine finishing your workday, hopping in the golf cart, and heading to Avondale for dinner without ever starting the car. Saturday morning might mean coffee and a stroll through the neighborhood, an afternoon on the water, or a bike ride along the West Ashley Greenway. With South Windermere just minutes away and downtown Charleston becoming even more accessible with the almost-complete Ashley River Crossing pedestrian and bicycle bridge, life at 855 Emily Drive is wonderfully connected to the places that make Charleston feel like Charleston.Set in an established West Ashley neighborhood, this one-story brick home offers the rare combination of an easygoing lifestyle, practical spaces for everyday living, and a location that puts some of the area's most sought-after amenities withinminutes of home. Avondale's shops, restaurants, and gathering places are close by, creating the kind of convenience that quickly becomes part of your daily rhythm.
The home itself has been lovingly improved with the same thoughtful approach. The landscape has been transformed with fresh sod, bamboo, podocarpus, viburnum, and other carefully selected plantings, while selective tree removal has opened the property to more light and usability. The driveway was expanded in 2025, with additional gravel parking and a dedicated boat pad--an especially welcome feature for those who take full advantage of Charleston's waterways. New fencing, gutters, French drains, and a moisture barrier add further function to the exterior.
Behind the scenes, the home's major systems have received meaningful attention as well. An updated HVAC system, tankless water heater, electrical panel, whole-house surge protection, and updated ductwork (all in 2023) provide modern infrastructure, while substantial attic insulation adds comfort and efficiency. The main drain line has been repaired and the plumbing brought up to code, reflecting the care taken to improve not just what you see, but what makes the house work.
Inside, thoughtful details make daily life easier. Custom closets provide exceptional organization, a custom built-in adds character and function to one of the secondary bedrooms, and a finished, insulated tackle room offers a dedicated space for gear, hobbies, or whatever pursuit needs its own room. Built-in garage cabinetry provides even more storage and is negotiable to convey, and a new Anderson front window brings beautiful natural light into the home.
But perhaps the greatest feature is what happens beyond the front door. This is a home that invites you to use Charleston the way locals do--take the golf cart to dinner, wander through Avondale, spend an afternoon along the Greenway, keep the boat close at hand, or make your way downtown for an evening on the peninsula. Everything feels close, without sacrificing the comfort of an established residential neighborhood.
With its timeless brick exterior, single-level floor plan, extensive improvements, and enviable West Ashley location, 855 Emily Drive offers something increasingly difficult to find: a home designed not simply for living in Charleston, but for living Charleston. Thoughtfully cared for and ready for its next chapter, this is Lowcountry living with a wonderfully effortless sense of place....
