The first thing you notice arriving at 1305 Old Rice Mill Rd is the long view — Cooper River unfolding directly from the backyard, a private dock framing the water and a saltwater pool set for riverfront afternoons. Built in 2013 and updated with thoughtful systems and finishes, this Craftsman-traditional estate occupies a generous 0.27-acre, level lot in Pimlico and offers 4,280 square feet of purposeful design for everyday life and entertaining.
Step through a handcrafted mahogany front door into a home defined by generous scale: 10-foot ceilings, wide oak plank flooring, double crown molding and impact-rated glass across the riverside elevation. The living spaces are arranged to take advantage of views and functionality — a gas fireplace anchors a formal sitting room, while a main entertaining area opens toward expansive porches that run along the water-facing side of the house. Two custom kitchens and multiple prep areas support multigenerational living or extended gatherings; practical upgrades such as a three-stop hydraulic elevator, central vacuum and surround sound make daily life effortless.
The exterior is equally refined: wide porches for watching river traffic, an irrigation system supporting mature landscaping, Leaf Guard gutters, and a three-car attached garage. The private dock provides immediate access to boating on the Cooper River and positions this home for seasonal outings or daily cruising. For comfort and efficiency the house uses propane heating, central air, foam attic insulation and impact-rated exterior doors and windows.
Owners will appreciate the attention to mechanicals and security — built-in security cameras, an ice maker, finished systems and finished storage areas — plus the saltwater pool, which sits between the home and dock and frames views of the river. Located within the Charleston–North Charleston MSA and moments from Pimlico Boat Landing, Cypress Gardens and Berkeley Country Club, this property pairs a waterfront lifestyle with convenient access to region amenities. With high-end finishes and hard-to-find river frontage, 1305 Old Rice Mill Rd presents a rare Lowcountry opportunity.
