But face it: Sometimes people yearn for a peaceful, serene atmosphere where they can relax, raise a family and rely on neighbors with good, basic, down-home values. There is one such small “town” within the Charleston city limits that offers a peaceful, almost Norman Rockwell lifestyle but at the same time provides the advantages of a big city – a little gem called Daniel Island. Owning a home in this treasured town would be a dream come true for anyone looking for traditional neighborhoods, a vibrant downtown, acclaimed schools and fantastic recreation. While there are a number of homes for sale on Daniel Island, there’s one currently on the market that is like no other. Owners Steve and Heidi Strenck have been the proud owners of 369 Ralston Creek Drive for the last three years and can attest to the unmatched quality of life on Daniel Island and the unique beauty their home offers. “The island is very self-contained but has a little bit of everything to make life here special,” Heidi Strenck said. “We love how open it is and all of the amenities you could ever need so close by.” Referring to all the large parks, green space, great restaurants and shops, she said: “We love being able to ride our bikes everywhere.This house has been a wonderful place to live.” The home has almost 6,700 square feet of living space and is elegantly appointed throughout.
