A Full Moon and Christmas Tree at Colonial Lake

And it’s the eve of the Solstice.  And there will be a meteor shower tonight.  And a lunar eclipse.  Wow.

Nature in the Middle of the City – at Colonial Lake

I was taking a walk this morning when I caught this guy standing on the sidewalk looking for his breakfast.  Here in Harleston Village around Colonial Lake in Downtown Charleston, we see a huge variety of nature on a daily basis – herons, pelicans, loons dipping for fish, and even schools of 30-inch spot-tail bass!  To me, Colonial Lake is...

In 2008 – a total of 9 sold. In 2009...

The Million Dollar Market in Downtown Charleston is Hot Hot Hot

I am not just saying this because I am an agent insisting that ‘Now is a good time to buy!“(Cue eye roll)  I am saying this because the statistics are sorta blowing me away.  I called it when I said Wagener Terrace fixer-uppers were hot about 7 months back, and I mentioned this topic briefly in my February newsletter, but...

The Best Family Friendly Neighborhood in Downtown Charleston is…Harleston Village

The Best Family Friendly Neighborhood in Downtown Charleston is…Harleston Village

Disclaimer: I do live in Harleston Village and love every bit of it – but that’s not why I think (even KNOW) Harleston Village is the most family-friendly neighborhood in Downtown Charleston.  While each of the neighborhoods has its own distinct beauty and character (for descriptions check out my previous post), Harleston Village wins hands down because of its proximity...
