Not just an ordinary open house!

Last month, Healthy Realty hosted its first open house at 1612 John Fenwick Lane located in The Preserve at Fenwick Plantation. The evening was a great success with an excellent turnout and sincere interest in the custom home. Guests were especially intrigued by a number of truly unique details of the home.  All handcrafted by students from The American College of the Building Arts, a wrought iron banister leading to the second floor, an ornate stone fireplace surround and true plaster columns add a touch of Charleston history- only fitting for a home situated on the grounds one of South Carolina's oldest plantations.
Having just been introduced to this amazing property, I was especially moved by the sense of family and community within the neighborhood. Homeowners and their children dropped in to meet guests and share their Preserve experiences. Owner and architect Mitch Laplante prepared his handmade Penny Creek Flatbread and tenderloin sandwiches. Guests were also given prepared, uncooked flatbread to take home and cook at their convenience or share with family that could not attend the event. "A Slice of Preserve Living."

As we left the home that evening, I was amazed at the visibility of the stars with the absence of bright city lights. Only minutes from modern conveniences, yet the feeling of complete privacy. I can only imagine how beautiful the view from the dock on Penny Creek was that evening. Perhaps next time we'll host an event on the dock!
