autumn day. As the wrought iron gate slowly opens to permit entry, a rough day at work is just a memory. A short drive over a glistening white bridge eases the tension in your shoulders. A left turn onto Ashton Shore Lane and you are almost home in the most amazing Lowcountry paradise. In Mount Pleasant, beauty is the norm but, on this small island, nature is in its glory. Set on perhaps the most beautiful lot inside Park Island, the house at 3952 Ashton Shore Lane is a study in perfection. Builder Lonnie Nielson used his combination of construction and engineering skills to build a home that not only suits the land but invites the outdoors inside.
The nearly half-acre lot is a tropical
haven set along Toomer Creek and the Wando River, and you can see the soothing water views from every window in the house. Throughout the more than 5,000 square feet, windows everywhere bring in light and nature; if you need to feel rather than just see the breeze, there is a porch or deck off virtually every room. Beautiful sunsets over the Wando are common; clearly,

4 BEDROOM 4.5-BATH ASHTON SHORE LN. PARK ISLAND, MOUNT PLEASANT, SOUTH CAROLINA
this home was created by a builder with an intense love of the Lowcountry. The double stairway, complete
with wrought iron pickets and ac- cented with a coastal-inspired panel, winds either way around a multi-level water feature that brings you into the spacious living area and oversized chef’s kitchen. The house also features two full master bedroom suites, one on the first floor and both with large, beautifully-appointed bathrooms. Two additional bedrooms and an extra room that can serve as a media room or den are on the second floor. Nine-foot plus ceilings and architec- tural touches such as moldings and solid oak doors are just a few of the excep- tional extras inside. A grand staircase leads the way to the second floor, and a wrought iron spiral staircase takes you to the top, where a widow’s walk offers stunning panoramic views of the water, marshes and tropical island landscape. A floating deepwater dock with a boat lift already in place invites you to come play on the water. In a community filled with delight- ful neighborhoods designed to appeal to homeowners ranging from 20-some- things to seniors, Park Island is the jewel in Park West’s crown. With just a few homesites tucked away inside this secure, gated community, Park Island offers peace and quiet as well as peace of mind. The sounds you hear in this pristine natural setting are birds sing- ing and the gentle breezes whispering
through the trees. Residents of Park Island also enjoy the many amenities offered by Park West, including the clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, playgrounds and walking trails. Excellent schools, an annex of the Mount Pleasant Recreation Center and a village of shops and services all add to the appeal of living in Park West. There may be other spectacular
executive homes available throughout the Lowcountry, but only a rare few are worlds away yet situated so close to everything. And after a long day out in the world, that bridge to Park Island will whisk you back to a place that nourishes your soul. The water is calling you home.
