The private master suite is located on one side of the home & additional bedrooms on the other side.The master suite features a jetted tub, separate shower and walk-in closet! Breakfast area opens to a nice deck, screened porch, patio and the landscaped backyard, perfect for outdoor living with fall Lowcountry oyster roasts or spring cocktail parties! Other features include fireplace, whole house vacuum, landscape lighting, Klipsch music system, in ground sprinkler system and a host of other upgrades.
Lovely one owner home that has been beautifully maintained and improved. The backyard is a gorgeous garden that is a 180 degree panorama backing up to woods so it is very private. There are large windows overlooking the garden in most rooms and it gives the house a light, serene feeling. The ceilings in this house are a minimum of ten feet and there are crown mouldings, chair rail and wainscoting as well. It was customized for the buyer and won a Prism award for custom design in 1999. There are eleven foot ceilings in the dining room and cathedral ceilings in the great room and master suite. There are also arched doorways, red oak floors, an eight speaker sound system, and central vac. The large screened porch overlooking the garden is a favorite living area of this elegant and comfortable home. A new heat pump was installed in 2011 and there is currently a wheelchair ramp in the garage that can be removed but it also makes the main floor handicapped acessible if that is needed. The wonderful Parrot Bluff neighborhood and its proximity to downtown and the beach make this gorgeous home a must see! Contingent on financing annd inspection
