1702 Ion Avenue Avenue is THE family home on Sullivans Island. Within the historic walls of this home you will find large gracious rooms with french doors opening onto the huge wrap around porches, providing sea breezes and natural light. 1702 ION has been the family home of the current owners for more than 20 years, a home they raised their children in, a home within biking distance of the brand new, ''Blue Ribbon'' oceanfront grade school. From this home you can bike, walk or take a golf cart to the beach, the ice cream shop, local restaurants, the fabulous park, library, post office and more. Just a stroll from this home is another tennis park and playground. Can you imagine raising your family on an island where you can walk, bike or take a golf cart everywhere? And Charleston...what can I say. The most historic city of the south, just minutes away. 1702 Ion Avenue was built for General George Marshall and purchased from the military in 1947 when Fort Moultrie was decommissioned. This home has maintained its charm and historic value - while being meticulously updated with modern conveniences. The house is constructed of cypress and heart pine to include all interior flooring and walls ( with exception of tile/stone bath floors) the roof of the main house is slate, the roof over the porches is copper and there are seven fireplaces. The town has stated that a garage could be built where the shed is on the ION Street side of the house. As you face the ocean, the left side yard is the perfect space for a pool and there is current survey of the property with the location of the pool professionally placed by Aqua Blue Pools. Both the pool and and garage need town approval, but both meet town guidelines and setbacks. Flood Insurance is:$6905 a year. A floor plan, video, photos, elevation certificate and survey are all available along with the history of the home.
