Major price reduction. Best deal on market in I'On. Beautiful lakefront Charleston Single style home, reminiscent of the much-loved historic homes of downtown Charleston but without the maintenance headache that older homes bring. With double stacked piazzas to enjoy the lake views and breezes, this stunning house provides plenty of space for entertaining relatives and friends both inside or out and formally or informally. The beautiful sun-drenched front parlor overlooks the lake and provides the more formal space for entertaining. This room adjoins the gorgeous and spacious dining room that features a spectacular wall of windows. To the rear of the home is the chef's kitchen with custom maple cabinetry and Subzero and Viking appliances, an adjoining breakfast room and the generouslyproportioned family room, which will allow the chef to cook and entertain at the same time. Out back is a large (for I'On) fenced-in yard with beautiful gardens, and a two-car carport with a small storage shed for housing gardening tools or bikes. Upstairs is the master bedroom with a separate sitting area, perfect for home office or nursery as well as the master bath that features both a Jacuzzi tub and separate shower. Access the second floor piazza from both the master bedroom or the hallway to enjoy the wonderful lake views. Two more spacious and sun-lit bedrooms are located on this floor with a shared bath. On the third floor is the "ball room," a perfect play room or media room as well as a large fourth bedroom and full bath, which could work nicely as an au pair suite. The laundry room is also conveniently located on this floor. This home is meticulously maintained by its owner and features gorgeous wood floors throughout all three levels, custom-fitted plantation shutters, two fireplaces (one in the family room, one in the master bedroom) and a copper roof (which lasts a lifetime as opposed to metal or architectural shingle roofs) with gorgeous patina. The Waterford chandelier in the dining room will not convey with sale. All buyers to pay a transfer fee of .15% of the sales price, while sellers pay .1% transfer fee. Priced just reduced.
