Situated on one of the best streets in I'On, this turnkey property is understated elegance at its finest. Designed by Miles Gandy Whitfield, this home showcases many architectural elements found in historic Charleston homes. Originally built in 2002 and recently upgraded and renovated, this home boasts 2 master suites linked by flowing and flexible living areas. The attention to detail is evident in this single floor residence from the moment you enter the velvet-walled foyer. The grand 12' ceilings, arched openings and generous windows create the illusion of a much larger home. Custom carpentry abounds with crown molding and a gorgeous new built-in in the family room. This is complimented by stunning new chandeliers, additional designer light fixtures and the subtle perfection of thethe newly refinished floors. The stainless kitchen appliances were recently replaced and have been used lightly (if at all). The present owner has (in 2019), installed new duct work, HVAC, a tankless hot water heater, a dehumidifier and encapsulated the crawlspace. The interior has been entirely re-painted or wallpapered (with chic Jefferies patterns). The six sets of French doors open to a 50 ft. piazza making it an ideal place to entertain or read a book on the new custom porch swings. The garden, designed by acclaimed landscape architect, Sheila Wertimer, is both welcoming and calming. Come and see why, as a whole, this property represents a rare opportunity to own a grand home in I'On.
Exceedingly rare opportunity in I'On. Grand Greek Revival home with expansive street presence in a quiet section of I'On with abundant street parking for your guests. Designed by Miles Gandy Whitfield for a prominent Charlestonian, this home showcases many architectural elements found in downtown Charleston historic homes while all on one floor (with potential of second floor expansion). Once entering the grand foyer your eye is drawn to the 12 ft ceilings and arched openings replete with a 100k hand-milled interior trim package. Open, light and airy, the home's deep entry hall provides a lovely transition to the large living room with fireplace leading to the guest wing of the house with a roomy bedroom, closet, full bath and French door access to the piazza. Through the banquet-size dining room, one enters the extended right wing into the beautiful and functional, newly updated, cabinet-lined kitchen with island, window seat, pantry and laundry. Gorgeous honed Bianca Avion marble, stainless appliances, French clay subway tile and French clay sink are all part of the year-old updates. A cozy den conveniently located between kitchen and master suite is where you will spend your days reading, watching TV or enjoying cuddling by the fire. The private master bedroom resembles a hotel suite with a large window overlooking the garden, abundant closets and a total bathroom transformation that is magazine ready complete with finishes from Waterworks, Perrin and Rowe and Farrow and Ball. A designer sink, custom tub surround, shiplap and seamless glass shower are only a few of the fine finishes too numerous to list. Six sets of French doors open outside where you can enjoy and entertain on your 50 ft piazza overlooking a Charleston-style garden by acclaimed landscape architect, Sheila Wertimer. Lush landscape, irrigation, lighting package and Old Carolina Brick complete your private oasis. This impeccable home is unsurpassed in design and quality and deservedly earns the description of a grand Charleston home.
