Welcome to 8 New Town Lane, an exceptional property located in one of the area's most desired neighborhoods, The Crescent. Enjoy close proximity to downtown Charleston, shopping centers, beaches, Country Club of Charleston, and the convenience of walking to Porter Gaud School. This beautiful brick home boasts a prime lakefront location nestled on a sprawling 1/2 acre lot adorned with magnificent grand oaks and mature camellias. The large beautifully landscaped yard features an outdoor fireplace, patio and a newly-built private dock leading to an expansive lake filled with redfish, flounder, black drum, turtles and many bird species. Imagine yourself fishing off your own private dock, kayaking on the lake, paddle-boarding off the end of the street in the marsh, letting the dogs and kids...run around in the fenced yard, grilling on the patio, and lounging by the outside fireplace. Lowcountry living at its best! Inside, numerous renovations to the property and well-appointed finishes await you throughout the home. This light-filled layout features 3 spacious bedrooms, 3.5 baths, rooftop patios off off each upstairs bedroom, and screen porch off the downstairs bedroom, a beautiful office overlooking the yard and lake beyond, breakfast room, separate dining room, family room with adjacent screen porch and bed swing, and beautifully adorned den/study on the main floor. The kitchen is a chef's dream, equipped with custom cabinetry, marble countertops, Thermador appliances, Anne Selke handmade tiles, and slate flooring. The ground floor has a rare unfinished basement that spans the entire footprint of the home. Endless possibilities in this space! Don't miss this rare opportunity to own an exquisite home in the heart of The Crescent!
