This is my favorite renovation yet. I actually showed this house to some clients of mine for them to buy it. As soon as I walked into it, I wanted it for myself, but I have a duty to my clients, so I waited until they decided that it was too big of a project for them to take on before I submitted an offer myself.
This is a fabulous property in Lakeshore in Mt Pleasant. It’s on this gorgeous lake but the views of the lake were blocked by a massive wall with a fireplace !! I don’t know what the original architect was thinking but it was crazy to have the nicest lake in Mt Pleasant and not be able to see it.
Usually I manage my renovations myself, but this house was a six figure total renovation and I was working my regular day job as a realtor, so I hired my good friend and kite instructor, Scott Hyland from Hyland Construction, for this project.
It took 3 months and every last penny of the budget, but it turned out better than I could have expected and the new owners got the lake view that the lot deserved.
Before/After
This was blocking the lake view !!
A fireplace was blocking this view !!!!
Not anymore…….now you can see the lake from all over the house
This was the entrance. Holy columns !
Much better. Now as soon as you walk in the front door, you can see the open floor plan and all the way to the lake

“Darragh has helped us purchase two homes - one when we moved from Connecticut and knew nothing about the area and the second as an investment property. There is no one who works harder or knows the Charleston area more than Darragh! He always gave unbiased opinions of properties and never pushed us to like something that wasn’t right for us. He also has great vetted connections around town and suggested many different contractors, painters, lawyers, etc that we worked with and loved! Darragh is so hands-on, but never aggressive or “salesman-y.” The relationship isn’t over once the home has been purchased. He really genuinely cares about how you live successfully in that space and if you’re happy, then he’s happy!”
