Thinking of Charleston conjures up images of grand homes with porches galore tucked amid Spanish moss draped live oaks. Azaleas bloom while jasmine flanks a grand staircase up to the front door. Rocking chairs line the front porch and the smell of the marsh brings thoughts of oyster roasts and lowcountry boils. It's such a pretty thought - it almost seems the stuff of Hollywood movies- but with this home, that magic can be yours. Tucked in the back of a quiet neighborhood only a few miles away from some of Charleston's most beautiful historic sites like Drayton Hall, Middleton, and Magnolia Plantation is a little cul de sac subdivision comprised of a handful of homes- and this home sits in the heart of it. The current owners took an already custom home and meticulously upgraded it downto the tiniest detail- making it a true show piece. Nothing says southern charm like a porch lined with rocking chairs- and the current owners made sure that porch would last by rebuilding it with Treks boards - and not only on the front, but also the screened in porch and the cooking area out back. If you think the outside of the home is beautiful, wait until you throw open the front door and walk into the 2 story foyer. With a wall of windows and doors along the back, the view gives the allusion of living in the trees. Imagine a breezy spring morning sipping on a hot cup of coffee on the screened in porch watching the sun rise....or a winter night curled up in a blanket while dinner sizzles on the grill on the cooking porch. This house truly embraces the beauty of the foliage outside by bringing so much of those colors inside the home- from the cabinetry and countertops in the gourmet kitchen to the new hardwood floors running throughout the downstairs- you can't help but feel serenity and feeling of peace. The main floor of the home features a newly remodeled powder room and a laundry room. The custom eat in kitchen has a new dishwasher and beverage fridge as well as a gas cooktop and double oven, custom built pantry, and more. There is a family room with built in bookcases and a gas fireplace that leads to the master bedroom. The en suite bathroom features new cabinetry and tile work as well as 2 large walk in closets, remodeled shower and soaking tub. Custom millwork runs throughout the downstairs. Don't forget to pay special attention to the updated staircase with ironwork, updated banisters, newel posts, and risers. The new hardwoods continue in the hallway upstairs where an enormous bonus room sits in the center of the home. A total of 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are upstairs- 2 bedrooms at one end of the hallway and 2 at the other; each of the sets shares a large jack and jill bathroom. Off of the bonus room is a large uncovered porch- perfect for those days when you want to read a book in the sun and listen to the sounds of the marsh. Not counted in the almost 3600 square footage but certainly a HUGE bonus is the garage which has room for 3 cars, tons of storage, a workshop, and a bonus room. The workshop and bonus room each have a Mini split air-conditioned/heater installed making these rooms invaluable. Looking for a teen hangout space? We have you covered!
