When thinking of a vision for the first larger scale neighborhood, award winning, James Island-based New Leaf Builders, co-owners Grant Zinkon and Adam Baslow, believed it was time for something different on James Island.
Or in Monty Python-speak, “Something completely different!” Baslow says, “Some of the thoughts that came to mind were California bungalow meets Folly Beach; modern, intimate outdoor living spaces where the outside comes inside; hip houses at affordable prices.”
New Leaf Builders consistently builds“communities that live differently,” and its latest effort, SeaAire is a good example.
SeaAire is a compact, sustainable village located off Seccessionville Road just minutes from Folly Beach and a short drive to downtown Charleston. This community boasts edgy, modern architecture,large community gardens and open space that encourages homeowners to bring the outside in.
Design elements offer tribute to the “surfer culture” that still today dominates much of the Edge of America while incorporating modern and sophisticated design aspects. This community is unlike any other James Island community to date and New Leaf is excited to shake things up a bit.
SeaAire will be the place to live on James Island.
The neighborhood will consist of just 24 homes ranging from 1,800-2,600 square feet and with a price point starting in the $325,000 range.
Just like in other New Leaf neighborhoods such as Eaglewood Retreat and Fox Hollow (which was the 2013 PRISM Award Winner for Best New Community), the basics that most builders charge extra come standard in SeaAire.
Features include granite countertops, hardwood flooring, window trim packages, tankless water heaters, gas range and crown molding.
Co-owner Grant Zinkon says, “The goal of New Leaf from day one has been for a buyer to be able to purchase the home without adding a single upgrade option and have an amazing property.”
All homes at SeaAire come with five hours of professional interior design consultation. Let the designers help guide you in finding the perfect match of selections and colors. Choosing the selections is the usually the most stressful part of buying new construction, but this added service makes the process downright fun!
The opportunity to live in SeaAire is just around the corner. Ground breaking will occur in the fall. At that time New Leaf will be accepting lot reservations. As always, the Charleston Pier Partner team, Matt Poole and Randall Sandin with Carolina One Real Estate, will be handling neighborhoodsales for New Leaf.
“We are so excited to continue our relationship with New Leaf and bring an exciting new product to James Island,” Poole says.
The Charleston Pier Partner team has handled sales for New Leaf since their inception in 2010. According to Zinkon, “Matt & Randall give the highest level of customer service and their attention to detail is top-notch. We are very fortunate to have them representing New Leaf Builders and excited to let them loose on SeaAire.”
Since forming Charleston Pier Partners in 2008, Matt Poole and Randall Sandin have been top producing agents year after year. In 2014, they were the No. 4 ranked team in Carolina One and received the highest award from the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors, Realtor of Distinction — Executive Circle.
Specializing in the James Island, Johns Island and Folly Beach area, their numbers include more than 270 closed transactions and more than $80 million in closings. Both Poole and Sandin live on James Island and have children in the local schools so their knowledge of the area is as good as it gets.
My husband, Jorgen and I would like to commend New Leaf Builders and Randallfor making the purchase of our home sucha pleasurable experience. We are so pleased with the quality of our construction and loving our new home. We were especially impressed with Randall’s professionalism and ended the whole process making a good friend. ” Carole & Jorgen – Fox Hollow homeowners
Currently, Poole and Sandin focus on listings and buyers in these three areas and throughout the Lowcountry. They use cutting edge technology to sell listings in today’s competitive market.
Tools such as professional photography, interactive floorplans with room measurements and furniture placement options, visual tours and web traffic tracking are keys to their success. Then add in 20 plus combined years in real estate-negotiating knowledge and this gives their clients a huge edge against the competition.
“In today’s market, an experienced agent is more vital than ever. Selling a home is one thing, closing the home (sale) is another and closing is all that truly counts,”Sandin says.
