Welcome to 14 Jamestown Road, a grand estate nestled in The Crescent, one of Charleston's most coveted neighborhoods. This nearly 9,000-square-foot home sits on double lots surrounded by stately oak trees and lush, manicured grounds, offering an exceptional example of gracious Southern living. The Crescent itself was shaped by the Olmsted Brothers, famed for their work on Central Park and the Biltmore Estate. Their vision seamlessly incorporated the natural elements of the area--like the curving edge of the Ashley River, majestic live oaks, and verdant greenery--creating a park-like atmosphere that defines this neighborhood's charm. Built in 1952, this home was thoughtfully restored and expanded in the late 1990s, with a full renovation completed in 2021.Its solid masonry construction, featuring stucco over concrete block, not only exudes understated elegance but is built for lasting durability further enhanced by hurricane proof windows and doors. Crowned with a stunning copper roof, the home is designed to withstand the elements, providing superior resilience against harsh weather while maintaining its classic beauty. Additionally, its location in an X Flood Zone means flood insurance is not required, offering peace of mind and added savings. One of the home's standout features is its L-shaped architectural design, embracing a serene saltwater pool between its two wings. The layout creates a perfect indoor-outdoor flow, with six French doors that open to a spacious terrace. This allows for natural light to fill the interior while offering easy access to the tranquil outdoor spaces. The kitchen is a haven for culinary enthusiasts, equipped with top of the line appliances. Featuring a Wolf range, Subzero refrigerator, and dual dishwashers, all elegantly framed by Calcutta gold marble. The space flows into a modern butler's pantry with beverage and freezer drawers, and a built-in Miele coffee maker, ensuring both style and functionality. Moving on to the sleeping quarters, the home features dual primary bedrooms one on each floor. The main suite spans an impressive 1,100 square feet, offering a spa-like bathroom overlooking the private garden with dual marble vanities, a custom soaking tub, and a steam shower with marble and Moroccan tiles. One of the most distinctive features of this property is the 1,200-square-foot accessory dwelling unit, affectionately referred to as the "casita." Fully detached from the main house, it functions as a private guesthouse complete with its own kitchen, laundry, bathroom, gym, and a bedroom with an antique timber vaulted ceiling. This charming retreat blends privacy and rustic elegance, ideal for guests or extended stays. To enhance your daily living experience, the home offers wellness amenities, including a private gym and sauna. After a workout, you can refresh in the outdoor shower and unwind in the spa, creating a luxurious balance between fitness and relaxation. The grounds are professionally landscaped, featuring Belgian block pavers and a stately circular driveway. A private rear drive provides access to a 2.5-car garage and additional parking, enhancing the estate's sense of convenience and privacy. The location is equally impressive. The Crescent is just a 5-minute drive from historic Downtown Charleston and 20 minutes from Folly Beach. It's also within walking distance of the esteemed Country Club of Charleston, the highly regarded Porter-Gaud School, and the West Ashley Greenway, a 10.5-mile scenic path perfect for walking or biking. Upcoming plans to extend the Greenway with a pedestrian bridge into downtown Charleston further enhance this neighborhood's appeal, combining accessibility, education, and outdoor living. This home offers not only an exquisite living space but an exceptional lifestyle, blending luxury, wellness, and the natural beauty of Charleston.
