Property Description

Nestled beneath centuries-old Live Oaks on a private 2-acre homesite overlooking the 12th hole and preserve, this award-winning custom residence blends Lowcountry beauty, craftsmanship, and privacy. Honored with the 2014 South Carolina Home Builders Association Pinnacle Award and recipient of three 2013 Lighthouse Awards for Best Kitchen, Best Bathroom, and Best Overall Home, the property reflects thoughtful design and a seamless connection to nature. Offering 3,458 square feet, the home features 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 1 half bath. A carefully maintained nature curtain preserves privacy while maintaining filtered golf, pond, and preserve views. At the heart of the home is the award-winning chef's kitchen with premium appliances, custom cabinetry, and granite countertops. A custom walnut gathering counter provides casual seating and serves as a focal point between the kitchen and living spaces. Two walls of windows replace traditional upper cabinetry, filling the space with natural light and views. A separate scullery with a dedicated baking center, specialized storage, and extensive preparation space provides exceptional functionality for cooking, baking, and entertaining. The kitchen opens to the great room, where a tabby wood-burning fireplace, reclaimed beam mantel, custom built-in seating, and walls of windows create an inviting gathering space. Beyond, the screened porch serves as an outdoor living area with a second tabby wood-burning fireplace. The first-floor primary suite offers a private retreat, while two separate office/studio spaces provide flexibility for work, creative pursuits, or quiet retreats. Reclaimed heart pine flooring, reclaimed ceiling beams, reclaimed brick accents, custom-built doors, and cabinetry incorporating repurposed barn wood highlight the home's exceptional craftsmanship. Additional features include a metal roof, cedar shingles, and HardiePlank exterior, spray-foam insulation, and extensive walk-in attic storage. A substantial floored walk-in attic is already plumbed for an additional bath and offers expansion potential for a future bedroom suite or additional living space. The detached carriage house provides private guest accommodations with a sitting area, kitchenette, full bath, separate bedroom, and walk-in closet. Conveniently located near the Golf House, Art Barn, and community garden, residents enjoy access to golf, tennis, pickleball, equestrian facilities, community docks, and miles of trails.
