ABOUT TOWNHOMES IN THE CHARLESTON AREA

LUXURY Townhomes in Charleston, SC

Townhomes fall into two categories, fee simple or in a condo regime. This sometimes confuses people as most think that a condo involves no steps, but if you have a townhome under a condo regime, you have steps. Why? Because the word condominium does not refer to the building but rather the ownership.  What's the difference? 

 

Fee Simple almost always means that you are responsible to pay for the exterior maintenance of your townhome. Although you will pay a monthly fee, it usually only includes coverage of the common areas of the maintenance of the land upon which the townhome community is built upon. A Fee Simple Townhome usually means that when the Association decides all the decks need painting, your deck needs to be painted and paid for by you. Same goes for Roof and other exterior maintenance as prescribed by the homeowners Association. You so own the land under your property, and rules may vary.

Condominium ownership generally means that all exterior maintenance is paid by the Association to whom you pay a monthly or annual fee. You insure your home from the inside walls to include furniture & possessions. You jointly share the land.

It is highly advisable that you obtain a copy of the Condominium Documents from the seller or Homeowners Association as well as the latest financial statement for the community. Knowing how much money is in the reserves along with the projected long term community expenses is key to understanding if and when Homeowner association fees may or may not increase on a monthly basis

MOUNT PLEASANT

 

MARAIS AT SEASIDE FARMS

CONDO - Regime
Seaside Farms is located off the Isle of Palms connector in a newly popular neighborhood which is close to the area’s premier beaches. Great shopping at the Mount Pleasant Towne Centre is less than one mile away, and local restaurants offer diverse cuisines, from local seafood to Japanese stir fry. The neighborhood is home to various types of residents, from retirees enjoying the Lowcountry lifestyle to professionals and families.

In its early years, this property went through a lawsuit with the developer and was awarded 14 million dollars to upgrade the homes with new flashings for window treatments and some new siding. Each home has spent their monies differently in upgrades, so be sure to check out the different options. Nice pool next to this neighborhood which is scenically set.

They also highlight fine appointments for the interior of Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, oil rubbed bronze fixtures & hinges, high end appliances, tall ceilings, crown molding, granite in kitchen and master bath, elevator options, and private 2 or 3 car garages. Note the breathtaking water/marsh views from large porches. The location is just 3 minutes to the Sullivan's Island beach and 15 minutes to downtown Charleston.

RIPLEY LIGHT MARINA TOWNHOMES

Ripley Light sit on prime real estate on the Ashley River offering marina access and great views. This is the next best thing to being on the peninsula because it is just a three minute drive from historic Charleston to reach these homes. In fact, this might actually be better because of the quick access to MUSC. 

Although these condos are not directly on the water, they are simply a few steps from the waterfront with deepwater access through a deeded boat slip. If you have ever been boating by California Dreaming, that is where the slips begin. This area between the river and the marina has been dredged to accommodate the new owners.

The townhomes offer open kitchens with granite , designer lighting, and custom cabinets. Hardwood floors throughout this 3 story building of all 3 bedroom/3 bath condos. One takes the spiral metal-railed steps to the 3rd floor loft for the real view. The single-doored garages can accommodate 2 cars plus space.

The designer has done a good job in bringing the "boat" feel into these townhomes.
