There are some places in the country so welcoming and easy to love, even your first visit feels familiar. That’s the charm of Hanahan, South Carolina, Charleston’s newest “it” neighborhood, where the bluster of city activity quiets in the presence of natural serenity. Now, a new planned community along the reservoir is making life even more picturesque. Welcome to Estuary, your new place of peace.

Stanley Martin single-family homes at Estuary honor the tradition of Southern sophistication, with standard amenities and optional upgrades that are both pretty and functional. Choose from five different floor plan designs and build your home to your specifications. Enjoy cooking in a spacious, open-concept kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Add a screened porch or a third-floor bonus room depending on which model you choose. Whether you value storage space or personal space, everyone in your family will find something to love at Estuary.

Estuary offers a uniquely affordable waterfront lifestyle. Nestled just north of Charleston, the average commute from Hanahan is about 20 minutes, the lowest of any area suburb. That means less time idling in traffic and more time enjoying resident-only walking trails and the community dock, plus shopping at Tanner Station just a short walk from home and a short drive to the entertainment district in Park Circle, downtown Charleston and Mount Pleasant.

There’s always something to explore in Hanahan and the surrounding area and, with a neighborhood pool and pavilion coming in summer 2019, plenty to look forward to doing.

Here’s a bonus: In July, get 50 percent off designer selections up to $20,000. For more information on Estuary, visit StanleyMartin.com or call 843-376-6651.
