PRIVATE RESORT OASIS IN THE RESERVE WITH INGROUND POOL & CASITA! Discover an exceptional opportunity to enjoy resort-style living in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods of St. James Plantation. This distinctive custom home offers an extraordinary combination of gracious interior spaces and an outdoor retreat that is difficult to find or duplicate. Exterior trim is scheduled to be freshly painted white, creating a brighter, updated look and enhanced curb appeal. See the virtually enhanced photo for a preview of the planned improvement. The centerpiece of this exceptional property is the spectacular backyard oasis featuring a large inground saltwater pool and an expansive covered stamped-concrete porch with outdoor kitchen, grill and hot tub. A convenient exterior-access half bath serves the pool and porch area with ease. Just steps away, a separate guest casita offers its own private living room, kitchenette and full bath--ideal for visiting family and friends, a luxury pool house or a private home office. Surrounded by mature landscaping and a generous lawn, this inviting setting was designed for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the coastal Carolina lifestyle. Inside, more than 3,600 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space showcases exceptional architectural character. A paver driveway leads to the flagstone front porch and impressive foyer with 19 1/2-inch tile, decorative inserts and library paneling. Ceilings ranging from 10 to 14 feet, three-piece crown molding, substantial 8-inch baseboards and surround sound add to the home's custom details. Elegant formal spaces highlight the craftsmanship throughout. The formal living room features a striking granite light fixture and oversized sliding glass doors opening to the covered porch and pool. The formal dining room offers library paneling, a tray ceiling, tiled floor and built-in buffet with storage and recessed lighting. French doors open to a dedicated office enhanced by beautiful custom millwork. The spacious gourmet kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and counter space, a large center island with storage, breakfast bar and separate dining area. Stainless steel Viking appliances include a six-burner cooktop, double ovens, warming drawer and refrigerator, complemented by a Bosch dishwasher and GE microwave. A wet bar with cabinetry and wine cooler conveniently connects the kitchen and family room. Filled with natural light and views of the backyard and pool, the family room features a handsome coffered ceiling and fireplace with decorative mantel flanked by two large built-in bookcases. Recently refinished hardwood floors extend through the kitchen and family room and continue into the primary suite, staircase and upstairs hallway. The main-level primary suite features a walk-in closet with custom built-ins and a spacious spa-like bath with granite countertops, double sinks, separate shower, jetted tub and private water closet with bidet. Two additional bedrooms--one on the main level and one upstairs--each feature an ensuite bath, providing comfortable and private accommodations for family or guests. Upstairs, additional living space includes a dedicated media room with its own wet bar area, along with generous attic storage. From the remarkable pool and private casita to the custom craftsmanship, flexible floor plan and planned exterior refresh, this distinctive Reserve property offers an exceptional opportunity to create your own private retreat in St. James.
