Designed by architect Chris Rose and built in 2012, this distinctive, turnkey home blends contemporary design, exceptional craftsmanship, innovative features, and an incredible indoor-outdoor lifestyle in one of the Lowcountry's premier golf communities.Step inside and immediately notice the home's unique architectural details, abundance of natural light, views toward the pool and courtyard, and carefully selected finishes. Natural polishedconcrete slab floors and FLOR carpet tiles extend throughout the home, complemented by durable Meranti stair treads for a contemporary look. Beautiful close-grain fir from Liberty Cedar is used extensively throughout the interior and exterior, including the foyer entrance ceiling both inside and outside, window and door surrounds, and first- and second-floor patio ceilings. Pella windows and doors are found throughout, while two-inch radius wall corners and extruded aluminum riglette trim around the doors, windows, and walls further enhance the home's clean, modern aesthetic. The home features a functional, open-concept floor plan with living spaces that connect beautifully to one another and to the outdoor areas. The spacious family room was designed to take full advantage of the home's exceptional setting, with large expanses of glass and bay windows filling the space with natural light while showcasing picturesque views across the backyard, 12th green, 13th tee and Stono River beyond. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the room and offers the ability to be converted to gas. The living spaces flow naturally toward the outdoor areas, where three Garapa decks offer the durability of a hardwood similar to Ipe with a lighter color and lower-maintenance finish. The large modern kitchen is a showpiece, combining breathtaking water and golf course views with high-end functionality. Open directly to the main living areas, the kitchen features two eat-in island bars, custom cabinetry, one-centimeter Silestone countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine cooler, Dacor propane cooktop with stainless steel vent hood, two Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawers, a main stainless steel sink plus a separate smaller stainless steel cleanup sink, Insta-Hot, abundant storage, and a whole-house water filtration system. Expansive windows allow the kitchen to enjoy the same sweeping views of the backyard, golf course, Intracoastal Waterway, and Stono River as the adjoining living spaces. The primary suite continues the home's thoughtful design and offers direct access to the inground pool and private courtyard area. The spa-like primary bathroom features limestone walls and countertop, dual vanities with custom cabinetry, a large custom-tiled walk-in shower with a built-in bench and shelving, and ADA-compliant grab bars. The guest bathroom features tile walls and polished porcelain countertops. Accessibility was intentionally incorporated into the home's design, with no steps required when traveling from the garage through the house and out to the rear deck and putting green. Upstairs, additional bedrooms enjoy direct access to the rear porch/balcony, providing beautiful views across the backyard, golf course, Intracoastal Waterway, and Stono River. A dedicated office space also connects to the balcony, creating an inspiring work-from-home setting with water views. One of the upstairs bedrooms is complemented by a spa-like bathroom featuring a custom-tiled walk-in shower with built-in shelving. The upper level also includes a kitchenette and additional office/work area with direct balcony access. A specially designed secret room creates a fun and unexpected space designed for children and grandchildren. The thoughtful combination of contemporary materials, custom architectural details, flexible spaces, and exceptional views continues throughout both levels of the home. The attached three-car garage offers exceptional functionality with plenty of space for vehicles, recreational equipment, golf gear, and other toys. Ultra-quiet Marantec garage door openers feature soft open-and-close operation. An impressive 320 square feet of built-in storage includes four 2-foot-by-40-foot shelves concealed behind 4-foot-by-8-foot white sliding doors. Just beyond, a large workshop is equipped with 220V power and was specifically designed so it can be converted into a fourth bedroom, complete with a private hallway and bathroom. The outdoor living spaces are where this property truly sets itself apart. Conveniently positioned directly off the home's main living areas, an 8-foot-by-16-foot Endless Pool creates a private courtyard-style retreat and features a five-horsepower swim-current generator, electric heat when needed, and a powered pool cover by Charleston Pool Cover Solutions. Surrounding trees, shrubs, and professional landscaping create a natural privacy buffer, while the homeowner notes that the pool remains wonderfully cool during the summer months. An outdoor shower is conveniently located beside the pool, ideal after enjoying the pool or returning home from the beach. Step from the living areas onto the back patio overlooking the professionally landscaped backyard, where a walkway leads directly to the private putting green and bunker. The expansive backyard offers amazing views of the Stono River and golf course, perfect for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the property's exceptional Lowcountry setting. From here, the views stretch across the 12th green and 13th tee of the Stono Ferry golf with the Stono River in the background. Golf enthusiasts will love having their own practice area right at home. A 10-foot-by-30-foot artificial-grass putting green features three regulation holes and comes with a Stimpmeter to help ensure the green is running at the same speed as the Stono Ferry greens. The adjacent sand trap was designed by the Green Keeper at Stono Golf Club, and features the same sand used on the course. The surrounding lawn features soft-bladed Zoysia Zion grass and an eight-zone irrigation system controlled by a Hunter controller. A separate water meter serves lawn irrigation, car washing, and pool filling, avoiding sewer charges on that water usage and, according to the homeowner, cutting the water bill by approximately 50%.
