Having helped the developer secure a parcel of this property I am familiar with both its inherent attractions of natural beauty and planned features, and let me tell you this is not your grandmother's North Charleston!
"Hunley Waters, a soon-to-be development consisting of 36 detached homes, joins other upcoming residential communities such as Mixson Avenue, Oak Terrace Preserve and Hope’s Pointe that are giving 'old' North Charleston a new face.
Developed by Billy Shuman, owner of West Ashley-based Sandlapper Real Estate Group, Hunley Waters is being built on Noisette Creek. Site preparation for the gated community begins this month, and only six of the site’s 17 acres will be developed. Homes will be completed by March 2008, said Shuman, who plans to live in Hunley Waters.
Hunley Waters’ houses will be elevated and will range in size from 1,700 square feet to 1,996 square feet. Designed by Charleston-based architect Hunter Kennedy of Beau Clowney Design, the homes are described as 'coastal cottages,' he said.
All homes will be 'green' or sustainable, meaning they will be energy efficient, durable and environmentally friendly.
The homes will comply with sustainable standards set forth by EarthCraft House, a program managed by Atlanta-based Southface Energy Institute. To further protect and preserve the environment, plants native to the Lowcountry will be planted and the landscaping will be designed for storm water retention, Shuman said.
Additionally, the homes will be in a wireless zone. They will be 'smart' homes, enabling homeowners to program such features as the air conditioning and alarm system and other features from a remote computer, Shuman said.
Hunley Waters will include a community pavilion where residents can meet, socialize and store outdoor sporting equipment such as kayaks. Shuman expects Hunley Waters to attract outdoor lovers, people who will enjoy kayaking, fishing and crabbing in Noisette Creek."
