A Private Charleston-Style Retreat in Somerset Oaks

Some homes make you exhale the moment you arrive, and 3644 Purple Martin Court is one of them.

It sits in a bit of a sleeper neighborhood, Somerset Oaks, a small, private enclave in North Mount Pleasant, and it’s tucked right at the end of a cul-de-sac. That means no through traffic, a front-yard view of a private median lined with gorgeous oak trees, and protected woods behind you.

It’s hard to overstate how quiet and secluded this property feels.

Classic Charleston style, from the porches in. The home features beautiful double-stacked side porches. At the top of the stairs, a screened front porch with a fun bed swing sets the tone before you even step inside.

Once in, the entry living room greets you with a nice sitting area, rich woodwork trim and millwork, and shiplap detailing on the lower half of the wall. The showpiece is a stunning brick accent wall wrapped around the fireplace, a remote-controlled insert, and that same brick reappears later as the kitchen backsplash, tying the downstairs together beautifully.

A first floor that opens up and flows. Just off the garage entry, there’s a convenient powder room with a lovely modern vanity, and the layout is genuinely thoughtful: come up from the ground-floor garage with your groceries, and you’re right in the kitchen.

The kitchen flows into the great room and the dining area, which comfortably seats eight and works as both a breakfast room and a dining space. Whether you’re gathering the whole family or hosting friends, everyone can cook, eat, and relax together in one connected space.

The kitchen features granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a gas range, a stainless sink and dishwasher, exposed shelving in the dining area, and a spacious pantry right beside the refrigerator. Crown molding runs throughout the entire first floor.

And here’s a detail worth noting: the floors look like beautiful wood but are actually tile, so they’re extremely durable and hold up to anything. As a mom of four, I can tell you that beautiful-and-practical is a rare and wonderful combination.

An owner’s suite that feels like a retreat. Upstairs is just as considered. Pretty beadboard trim runs up the staircase, and there’s a convenient closet by the stairs plus a linen closet before you reach the owner’s suite.

And what a suite it is, spacious and full of natural light, with a tray ceiling, updated light fixtures, and its own private porch with a fan, perfect for morning coffee.

The suite has two closets and a beautiful bathroom with a dual-sink vanity, a private water closet, a private window over the soaking tub that pours in light, a tile accent, and a fully tiled shower. It’s also set a little apart from the other bedrooms, which is a real plus if you have kids and want some distance.

Bright, flexible bedrooms with treehouse views. One secondary bedroom is currently set up as an office, with a standard closet, a cheerful window, and a ceiling fan. A hall bathroom serves this side of the home with a new dual-sink vanity, updated lighting, tile floors, and an easy-care shower-tub combo.

Another bedroom offers a double closet and easily fits a queen setup. And across the hall is a room that just might be a favorite, it has a chandelier, sits at the back of the house with that treehouse feeling looking into the woods, and has plenty of space for a full bedroom set.

A bright laundry room rounds out the upstairs, with a tiled floor, storage cabinets, and a side-by-side washer and dryer.

Outdoor living that steals the show. The outdoor living is where this home truly shines. There’s a screened porch off the great room in addition to the one out front, so you have relaxed outdoor space on both sides of the home.

Off the back, a patio of etched concrete opens onto a backyard oasis: a private hot tub, a dining area, and a cute circular patio with a fire pit.

The lot is a quarter-acre and fully fenced, and because there’s a land trust behind the property, that privacy is protected for years to come. You genuinely feel like you’re in a treehouse back here, surrounded by the woods.

Smart, durable construction. A few things buyers will appreciate. The side-entry, two-bay garage has charming carriage doors and an enormous amount of storage running the full length of the house, one of the real perks of elevated construction.

The exterior is durable cement-plank siding in gray with a painted black foundation, and there’s ample parking for multiple cars.

The home sits in an AE flood zone, which simply means it’s elevated to mitigate that, and the owners have added breakaway panels that protect the ground level while keeping the garage clean and usable. It’s a smart, well-thought-out setup.

And you’re right near Copahee Sound, a beautiful body of water perfect for boating and fishing, with a neighborhood boat landing just minutes away.
