This architecturally striking home sits on a prominent corner lot with expansive views of Westlake and the Westlake Amphitheater in the award-winning I'On neighborhood. Entering the private-walled courtyard through custom iron gates flanked by gas lanterns, you are transported into a serene European inspired outdoor space with a bluestone patio, wraparound covered loggia, lush plantings, and an elegant fountain. This outdoor sanctuary provides the ideal setting for al fresco living and entertaining, with glimpses of the lake through beautiful wrought iron wall details.The generously-sized foyer provides a grand welcome into the first level of the house and serves as the central hub for this versatile layout. To the right of the foyer is a bedroom currently used as an office, featuring beadboard wainscoting, grasscloth wallpaper, an en suite tiled bath, and doors opening onto the loggia. On the opposite side of the foyer, there is a guest wing including a bedroom with new natural pine floors, a full bath, and a wet bar with gathering space. The bar area can be opened to the foyer, allowing for a great addition of entertainment space, or it can be closed to make the guest wing its own private apartment. Whether entering through the courtyard or the rare two-car garage, you can reach the main living space via the beautiful staircase or the wood-paneled elevator, which stops conveniently near the kitchen. The benefits of elevated living space are immediately clear as you arrive on the upper landing- bright, private spaces are enhanced by elegant custom millwork, cased openings, and soaring ceilings. The updated kitchen features a new 48" GE Monogram Professional range, natural stone counters, a marble backsplash, and the warmth of a sapele wood topped island. A sitting room off the kitchen is framed by a gas fireplace and built-in shelving, with the dining room situated just beyond two cased openings. The open dining area flows effortlessly into the living room, with several doors leading to the covered wraparound porch. With windows on three walls, the living room is filled with light and exceptional views of the lake and surrounding oaks. A beamed ceiling, wainscoting, and high-end moldings provide luxury and character to this comfortable space. Also located on the main living floor, the primary suite offers a serene retreat, featuring an en suite bath with Caledonia porcelain finishes, dual vanities, and a private water closet. The suite is further complemented by a spacious walk-in closet with custom built-in shelving and convenient access to the laundry room. The third floor has two additional bedrooms that share a large bath featuring separate vanities - one of these bedrooms overlooks Westlake and has distant views of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge. The upper landing has a built-in workspace, and access to a large flex space that can be used as a media room, separate living area, gym, or play zone. From the bonus room, there is an expansive, insulated walk-in attic providing ample and easily accessible storage. For a buyer looking to add potential value to this fantastic home, the walk-in attic could be easily converted into an additional bedroom suite. Residents of I'On enjoy miles of walking paths and sidewalks, beautiful neighborhood parks and lakes, and a village square with a bustling dining scene. The recently upgraded I'On Club is extremely popular, with excellent pickleball, tennis, swimming, and fitness facilities (The I'On Club is not part of the HOA). With chic living spaces, stunning views, and over 2,400 square feet of "outdoor rooms," 121 W Shipyard Road is a turnkey opportunity to settle into one of the most prominent corners of I'On!
