Overview
Fully rebuilt in 2024 on a 17,300 square foot lot, 730 Melrose Drive offers a rare combination of modern design, flexibility, and outdoor living in the heart of West Ashley.Completely taken down to the studs and rebuilt in 2024, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home delivers true peace of mind with all new systems, including roof, plumbing, updated electrical service and panel, HVAC, tankless water heater, windows, and finishes, providing the feel, quality, and efficiency of new construction.Built with durability and efficiency in mind, the home features solid CMU construction and JELD-WEN windows, filling the space with natural light while enhancing long-term value. Inside, the layout offers hardwood flooring, updated lighting, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace.The home is finished with solid-core interior doors and elevated materials throughout, reflecting a level of craftsmanship rarely found in comparable homes.One of the standout features is the flexibility of the layout, including two primary bedroom suites with private baths and walk-in closets--ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or a private primary retreat. In addition to the three-bedroom, three-bath layout, there is a dedicated office or flex space, ideal for today's work-from-home lifestyle.The bathrooms are finished to a high level, featuring tile-to-ceiling showers, frameless glass enclosures, built-in niches, and rain shower heads, along with double vanities in both primary suites.Step outside and the lifestyle continues. Set on an expansive 17,300 square foot lot, the backyard is a true extension of the home. The oversized deck and custom-built pergola create a natural setting for entertaining, outdoor dining, or unwinding at the end of the day, complete with lighting that enhances the space into the evening. A separate fire pit area sits beneath a beautiful live oak, adding character and a true sense of place, while a covered firewood storage area adds practical convenience.The width and usability of the lot provide space to spread out now, with room for future additions such as a garage. The fully fenced backyard adds privacy and functionality, while custom cedar screening discreetly conceals HVAC equipment and trash areas for a clean, polished look. Hardwired flood lighting further enhances both usability and security.Adding even more versatility is the detached flex space with western red cedar siding, insulation, 220 power, and a garage door--ideal as a workshop, studio, gym, home office, or flexible storage space.With no HOA, the property offers an added level of freedom and flexibility that is increasingly hard to find in this price point and location, with room for boat, RV, or camper parking.Located just off Savannah Highway and just minutes from Avondale, this home offers exceptional convenience with easy access to downtown Charleston in approximately 15 minutes, along with quick connections to I-526, I-26, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences.Opportunities like this--fully rebuilt with this level of finish, outdoor space, and flexibility--rarely come available at this price point in West Ashley with this level of finish and outdoor space.
