Tucked beneath a canopy of oaks, palms, and pines on a private 1.23-acre homesite along the Dunes West golf course, this 4,200-square-foot residence at 1779 Shell Ring Circle offers that rare blend of estate-sized privacy and refined Lowcountry living. Located in Wagner Point--widely regarded as the premier neighborhood within the gated Dunes West community in Mount Pleasant--this home enjoys one of the most coveted settings in the entire neighborhood. A long, gracious driveway leads to a welcoming front porch framed by classic Southern architecture. Inside, a soaring two-story foyer and striking curved staircase create an immediate sense of arrival. Just off the entry, a versatile front room--currently home to a grand piano--offers the perfect setting for a home office,music room, or refined sitting room. Generous formal living and dining spaces beyond provide flexibility for entertaining or gathering with family and friends. Spanning approximately 4,200 square feet, the home offers five bedrooms and three and a half baths, thoughtfully arranged for both everyday living and gracious hosting. Since its last purchase, the current owners have made significant and tasteful upgrades that elevate the home to another level. The kitchen has been completely renovated and now features elegant Italian marble countertops, a deluxe built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, custom cabinetry, and refined finishes throughout. It opens seamlessly to the breakfast area and family room, where vaulted ceilings, skylights, custom windows, and a wood-burning fireplace create a warm and inviting heart of the home. The primary suite, privately positioned on the main level, has also undergone a full transformation. Hardwood flooring now replaces carpet in the bedroom, adding warmth and continuity. The renovated bath showcases marble finishes, a freestanding soaking tub, frameless glass walk-in shower, dual vanities, and abundant natural light from skylights and large windows overlooking the wooded backdrop. A connected flex space offers the perfect setting for a nursery, private office, or quiet reading room. Upstairs, a spacious loft provides an ideal secondary living area--perfect as a media room, playroom, or casual gathering space--alongside four additional bedrooms and two full baths. A charming built-in study alcove with desk and shelving creates a bright, functional nook for homework, reading, or working from home. The upstairs hallway has also been upgraded with hardwood flooring, further enhancing the home's cohesive feel. Major systems have been addressed, including a new roof, gutters and garage door in 2020 and new HVAC units in the primary suite (2022), first floor (2020), and upstairs (2019) offering peace of mind for years to come. Outdoor living is equally compelling. A screened porch with vaulted ceiling overlooks the private backyard and golf course beyond. The property also includes a private well for irrigation, established landscaping, and 50-amp service in place should a future pool be desired. Living in Dunes West means access to one of Mount Pleasant's most established and amenity-rich communities. Notably, Dunes West is the only gated community in Mount Pleasant with a staffed security guard at the entrance, offering an added level of privacy and peace of mind. Residents enjoy a historic antebellum-style clubhouse, resort-style pools, fitness center, tennis facilities, walking trails, boat storage, and optional golf membership. Wagner Point, in particular, is known for its larger homesites, architectural distinction, and quiet, estate-like setting within the gates. Private, polished, and thoughtfully updated--1779 Shell Ring Circle is not simply move-in ready. It has been meaningfully improved, meticulously maintained, and positioned in one of the most desirable enclaves in Dunes West.
