MOUNT PLEASANT:

THE VILLAGE IN TH “The most competitive neighborhood housing market in the city.” - UrbanTurf “There was a time when it was a little bit of a secret,” explains Realtor Mandy Mills, who has lived in Mount Pleasant for nearly a decade and has watched the increase in demand first hand. “But there’s so much to love here – a rich history, access to parks and downtown, a close-knit community that is rallying around its local schools, and new, independent businesses.”

Flying Fish Coffee & Tea, Beau Thai, and the upcoming Goodall’s Organic Bistro are relative newcomers to an already healthy stock of local retailers. Emily Friedberg and Jeanlouise Conaway opened Each Peach Market on Mount Pleasant Street last summer. “We chose the location because it is such a community-oriented neighborhood,” says Friedberg.

“Understanding value is crucial and we place a real premium on pricing homes appropriately, to give our sellers the best return on their investment. We watch the market closely to ensure our buyers are educated and aware of every opportunity.”

1636 Hobart Street NW

T h e M a n d y & D a v i d Te a m ’ s commitment to the neighborhood includes the establishment of the Mount Pleasant Block Party - a free, family-friendly event, which raises money for the Bancroft Elementary PTO, for which Mills currently serves on the Executive Board.

“We really want to create experiences that can bring people together and support the neighborhood.”

She has also been instrumental in the creation of the Mount Pleasant House & Garden Tour, a fundraising effort showcasing some of the neighborhood’s most majestic homes.

Charleston was ranked the second best city in the world by Travel + Leisure.

South Carolina Beaches

Many locals you meet in South Carolina will tell you they were raised on the water, and once you’ve visited that should come as no surprise.

With resort communities and perennial beach towns sprinkled all along the coast, from the “Grand Strand” of northern beaches to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina is a beach destination with a longstanding habit of turning vacationers into residents. The nearly 3,000 miles of pristine coastline offers a wide variety of seaside spots within driving distance of most major east coast cities, and you’re sure to find one that fits the bill for your ideal beach getaway.

you are under the impression that one stretch of beach is no different from the next, South Carolina will likely change your mind.

Each spot on the state’s shores, along with the surrounding community, has a distinct character you will notice right away. For those dreaming of a classically southern getaway, the handful of locally triedand-true beaches located just outside of historic downtown Charleston will offer clean, family friendly private and public shores along with famed lowcountry culture and cuisine. Upon setting foot in the town of Folly Beach, a community steeped in a love of great waves, a variety of live music, and eclectic dive restaurants and bars, you are instantly absorbed into the pretense-free, laid-back surf town atmosphere. And if your goal is simply to strike the perfect, relaxing balance between swim, golf, shopping, and fine dining, the iconic Kiawah and Hilton Head Island resort lifestyles are unrivaled.

irginia Hunt Country is best known for its equestrian tradition, charming villages, spectacular estates, and picturesque farms. However, one of the most alluring perks of the region is the booming Virginia wine industry. This countryside is dotted with prestigious local vineyards that showcase local grapes and exclusive tastes. One particular vineyard, Chrysalis Vineyards, speaks to the native but luxurious feel of Virginia Hunt Country.

Locksley Estate, home of Chrysalis Vineyards, is located in Middleburg, VA and offers 412 acres of what is widely recognized as some of the prettiest countryside in the world.

Of particular interest to Chrysalis Vineyards is the native American grape, Norton, and the largest planting of this variety in the world can be seen at its vineyard in Middleburg. Recognized as the standalone North American variety for its unique ability to produce premium quality red wines, Norton was internationally recognized in the 1800s as the source of age-worthy and distinctively robust reds. Offering relaxing and gorgeous views, Chrysalis Vineyards’ tasting rooms welcome all visitors with patio seating for 40, and its picnic pavilion sports Iron Works grills, which are open free to the public for cooking up hot fare on-site. Check out www.chrysaliswine.com for more information.

teeped in rich nautical heritage, Annapolis is a contemporary city built on the soil of four hundred years of American history. 18th century brick buildings line the streets and reminders of its bygone beginnings can be found around each corner. As Maryland’s capital, Annapolis is home to the oldest State House still in use in the nation, the only state house that has also served as the nation’s capitol. The site of the ratification of the treaty that ended the Revolutionary War, the Maryland State House is a must see for history buffs.

The proximity to the sea has permeated into everyday life in Annapolis. For those who cannot wait to get on the water themselves, there are plenty of opportunities for that as well. With cruises around the Annapolis Harbor, the opportunity to charter a boat for the day, go fishing, or explore the bay by canoe or kayak, there is something for all types of sea adventurers.

For those who would rather keep their feet firmly on land and explore the shopping and culture opportunities of the city, Annapolis has many options there, especially in the Historic District.

Along with hip boutiques, local, regional and national artists alike have their work in galleries and studios in Annapolis.

With something for every taste and budget, Annapolis is a unique Maryland city making the Bay not only a wonderful place to visit, but also to live.
