Fusing formal and casual elements, this Southern Belle keeps an eye on tradition and comfort. Elements such as columns, dormer windows, gables, and a porte cochere demonstrate the Southern charm of this elegant yet welcoming home. The layout accommodates children and parents alike, and the additional “carriage house” affords plenty of privacy for guests or parents. The carriage house features a full in-law suite, complete with every function and room needed for the complete comforts of living.
History proves that good design and understated elegance never go out of style and this home has just such an enduring look and feel.
From the quiet cul-de-sac, the home presents a warm and inviting facade, with sloping rooflines, windows of different sizes and shapes, covered porches,and a rear terrace provide welcoming connections to the outdoors.
To the left of the foyer as you enter the home, the study offers a cloistered retreat. Walls and trim are faux-finished in a light brown.
Neutral shades mingle with bright hues in the formal living room. The bookshelves, molding, panels, and simple lines around the fireplace further augment the space’s superior style.
There’s a logical flow through the house, but each room retains its own special character. A tray ceiling fashioned of butt-joint panels, a built-in window seat, and a large stone fireplace imbue the keeping room - a Southern family room - with cozy comfort is located just off the kitchen..
The dining room boasts an ornate chandelier that provides a dramatic focal point, while French doors and lanky windows stretch across one wall to import light and open the space to the outdoors. The doors open to the covered porch, allowing dinner guests to easily transition from the pleasures of good food to the more casual enjoyment of evening stars and summer breezes.
A light-color kitchen palette with glazed-vanilla cabinetry focuses attention on decorative details and timeless quality. Covered in cabinetry panels, appliances add convenience while enhancing the room’s classic composition. Sometimes a formal dining room is too stuffy for grabbing a quick bite to eat or sitting down for a casual family meal, so a treasured breakfast nook was incorporated into the kitchen design, a cushioned banquette and freestanding table and chairs combine to create a cozy space where family members can sit down to chat or dine peacefully. Windows behind the banquette invites natural light into the easygoing eating area. The kitchen layout and openness, along with a large amount of counter space, top of the line appliances, granite countertops, tumbled-marble backsplash promote the desired style and make it a joy for any chef.
The elegant master suite sanctuary pays attention to architectural detail and provides a spacious open feeling. Enjoy the golf course view from the sitting area. Mornings in the master bath are especially bright. An oval window and a large window over the tub let in an abundance of sunlight. All of the secondary bedrooms are extremely spacious in size.
The terrace level abounds with finished living space that includes a billiard room with French doors that lead to the deck with an incredible vanishing edge pool. The gentlemen’s office/study is one of a kind and working from here is where all of us dream that our office could be. Imagine, doing what you like best as your living and at the same time, enjoying the incredible view of a Championship TPC golf course. It is the best of both worlds.
The home offers magnificent views of the golf course and private backyard from one of the many large windows in rooms throughout the home. This Southern style home is situated on one of the finest 1-acre golf course lots on the 4th fairway and a large, professionally landscaped cul-de-sac in Sugarloaf Country Club. You will be proud to have family, friends and guests visit this elegant and sophisticated home.
