79 www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.ILoveMountPleasant.com | www.BestofMP.com beautiful homes “B efore the renovations, this was kind of a dated, plain Jane house,” said Rob Crawford, owner and president of Renaissance South Construction. “The new owners wanted a coastal cottage aesthetic similar to homes on Sullivan’s Island, including cable-railed porches in the front and back.” The interior of the house was completely gutted. Walls were removed for a more open feel, while the kitchen and bathrooms were updated and modernized. Two of the biggest improvements were the addition of a garage with a new master suite above it and the creation of the magnificent backyard retreat. The owner is a swimmer, so they incorporated a lap pool — although creating a lush, tropical feel around the pool was a challenge as the grass didn’t grow well due to too much shade. To solve that problem, synthetic turf was laid, and “looks incredible,” Crawford added. A new patio loggia with an outdoor kitchen finishes the setting. The outdoor space at this home now pops and is one of the best features. That, and, of course, being perfectly situated only a few steps from the Intercoastal waterway on one side and the beautiful Isle of Palms beach on the other.
