At A Glance

A custom Lowcountry home, built on building science.

A 2022 build under mature live oaks, half an acre, four miles from the Charleston harbor. Designed using advanced building science principles so the house performs as quietly as it looks. The result is a home that delivers comfort, durability, and indoor air quality rarely found in the Charleston market.

A First Look

Walk the porch. Read the room. Run a finger along the marble.

Nine frames from the house. The front elevation under the oaks, the porch with the flag and the swing daybed, the kitchen at two angles with the rattan stools and the chain pendants, the marble backsplash framed by the custom hood, the dining room past the cooktop wall, and a second front elevation in late-afternoon light. Schedule a walk-through to see the rest in person.

Front elevation of 1144 Pleasant Pines under mature oaks, twin dormers above a wide covered porch, white horizontal siding, American flag at the porch column — The arrival. A custom 2022 Lowcountry build set back under the oaks, with the porch waiting.

The covered front porch at 1144 Pleasant Pines, with a striped cushioned swing daybed, an American flag, painted blue ceiling, and a view of the front lawn and street beyond — The porch, the flag, the daybed. The first room before the front door.

Open kitchen with a long marble island, four counter-height rattan French bistro stools, twin polished steel dome pendant lights, and a wall of white cabinetry with built-in double ovens — The island, in profile. Rattan stools, dome pendants, marble seat.

The kitchen viewed straight on across the marble island, twin polished steel pendants suspended on chains, wide-plank oak flooring leading to the dining area beyond — Straight on. The island opens onto the dining room and the wide-plank oak floor.

Detail of the kitchen cooktop wall: a custom white panel hood above a brushed nickel articulating pot-filler faucet, a single induction cooktop, and a veined marble slab backsplash — The cooking wall. Veined marble, a hand-operated pot filler, custom panel hood.

The kitchen at 1144 Pleasant Pines pulled wider, with the island and four rattan stools in the foreground, the dining room visible past the cooktop wall, a wood-bead chandelier over a long farmhouse table, and west-facing windows letting in afternoon light from the back yard — A step back. The kitchen opens onto the dining room and the west-facing windows.

The porch at 1144 Pleasant Pines viewed from the swing daybed end: the blue painted ceiling continues across the full length, the rattan club chairs sit grouped at the far end, the American flag hangs in the middle distance, the lawn and street beyond — The porch from the swing end. Blue ceiling all the way across.

The kitchen at 1144 Pleasant Pines from the dining-room side, looking back across the island to the cooktop wall and the marble slab, four rattan stools lined up at the seating side, wide-plank oak floor continuous between rooms — From the dining side. The island reads as a single piece of furniture.

1144 Pleasant Pines photographed head-on in late-afternoon Lowcountry light, the front yard centered, twin garage doors at right, blue front door framed by potted plants, the porch flag catching the western sun, the roofline glowing against a soft southern sky — The closing frame. The house at the back end of the afternoon.

“A quieter, healthier, more energy-efficient home that delivers year-round comfort and performance rarely found in the Charleston market.”

The Residence

Lowcountry on the outside. High performance underneath.

1144 Pleasant Pines blends refined Lowcountry living with craftsmanship that goes beyond the porch. From the street it reads as a classic Mount Pleasant farmhouse, nestled beneath mature oaks in the Mt Pleasant Academy school district. Inside, the house was custom-built in 2022 using advanced building science principles, the kind of work that holds its value because it was engineered, not just decorated.

The envelope is the story. The exterior walls are framed at 2x6, deeper than a typical build, giving more room for insulation and a structurally stiffer wall. The roof deck is sealed with spray-foam insulation and the attic is brought inside the conditioned envelope, so the attic temperature tracks the house instead of fighting it. Inside the walls, Rockwool sound-reducing insulation does double duty as a thermal layer and a quietness layer.

The mechanical systems were chosen with the same discipline. A high-efficiency Mitsubishi heat pump runs the heating and cooling, an Energy Recovery Ventilator continuously brings in filtered fresh air without wasting conditioned air, a whole-house dehumidifier keeps the Lowcountry humidity from ever taking hold, and a hybrid heat-pump water heater handles the hot water. The result is a home that is quieter, more comfortable, and more efficient than nearly anything else on this block.

Five bedrooms. Four baths. 3,874 square feet of indoor living on just over a half acre. Wide-plank oak floors, a marble island in the kitchen, a custom panel hood, a pot filler at the cooktop, a covered front porch with a painted ceiling and room for a swing. The architecture and the engineering both serve the same goal: a house that lives well, every day, for decades.

The Envelope

2x6 Walls. Sealed Attic.

Deeper exterior framing, spray-foam roof deck, and a conditioned attic space. Built tight, insulated heavily, and held together by Rockwool inside the walls.

The Air

ERV + Whole-House Dehum

Continuous filtered fresh air through the Energy Recovery Ventilator. The whole-house dehumidifier never lets Lowcountry summer settle in.

The Location

Mt Pleasant Academy

Sitting inside the Mt Pleasant Academy school district, within a short drive of Shem Creek, Sullivan's Island, and the Ravenel Bridge into Charleston.

The Details

Where the engineering shows.

Five systems worth understanding before the walk-through. These are not finish-level upgrades. These are the choices that decide what it feels like to live in the house in August.

Spray-Foam Roof Deck

The roof deck is sealed with spray foam, and the attic is brought inside the conditioned envelope. The attic stays comfortable, and the ductwork up there does not lose efficiency to a 140-degree summer ceiling.

Energy Recovery Ventilator

An ERV continuously trades stale indoor air for filtered outdoor air without sacrificing the temperature or humidity you already paid to condition. Cleaner air, no penalty on the utility bill.

Whole-House Dehumidifier

A central dehumidifier holds the entire house at a target relative humidity, independent of the cooling system. The Charleston summer never registers indoors.

Rockwool Sound Insulation

Rockwool inside the interior walls reduces sound transmission room to room and adds a thermal layer behind the drywall. The house is noticeably quieter than a stick-framed home with fiberglass.

Mitsubishi Heat Pump

A high-efficiency Mitsubishi heat pump system handles both heating and cooling, paired with a hybrid heat-pump water heater. Lower operating cost, longer equipment life, and a quieter mechanical room.

The Neighborhood

Mount Pleasant, as it lives.

Old Mount Pleasant sits between the harbor and the marshes. Pleasant Pines is inside the Mt Pleasant Academy school district, one of the most sought-after elementary catchments in the Lowcountry, with the Old Village shops, Shem Creek's seafood docks, and Sullivan's Island all within a short drive.

The Ravenel Bridge into peninsular Charleston is six minutes north. The Charleston Tea Garden, Boone Hall, and the harbor itself frame the rest. A neighborhood that has held its character for a long time, and a school catchment buyers will move zip codes for.
