FIRST TIME ON MARKET! This impeccable one owner custom built home sits atop a lovely .67 acre knoll in one of Johns Island's most popular waterfront neighborhoods; a short drive to historic Charleston yet a rural, serene feel. The full front porch and entry door adorned with gas lanterns welcome you to this 4,494 sq. ft. beauty built in 2006. A stately first impression, yet so Lowcountry casual! As you enter this southern charmer your eyes will gravitate to a magnificent great room with its two-story stone front fireplace w/gas logs, built-in cabinetry and wall of windows and doors. Step outside and enjoy the open and screened porches as well as the backyard oasis complete with lush professional landscaping (lawn well) and an inground salt-water pool with waterfall and electric cover. Just wait until this botanical park-like garden is in full bloom! So much thought and nurturing went into making this a very special place to enjoy on the property. Heart pine flooring throughout (except lowest level has carpet) and quality casement windows in all the right places. A large formal living room to the right of foyer and across from powder room. Lovely kitchen with bay window to catch the water and sunset view through the trees while you enjoy your morning coffee or evening meal. Quality cream colored cabinetry galore with desk area, display shelves for collectibles, china, etc., five-burner gas cooktop w/telescopic vent, double wall ovens, new counter-depth refrigerator and gorgeous granite and tile. The large, bright dining room will be the spot for many delicious and memorable gatherings. You'll find the master bedroom w/sitting area and master bath with dual vanities, separate water closet, garden/spa tub and special ""soft"" floor shower w/bench on the main level. Three additional bedrooms (one could be a second master if needed) and two full baths are on second level via the home's lovely staircase OR a beautifully paneled elevator will take you from the 3+ car garage to all levels of the home. The lowest level has additional living space which is heated/cooled separately by a wall unit, but also has a quaint, old-fashioned style gas heating stove (removable of course). This area comes with a full bath and steam shower which makes it a perfect get-away zone for guests, a playroom, craft/hobby space or an additional entertaining area especially in pool season! Central vac makes for extra convenience. Storage in a variety of areas. Pavers not only surround pool, but also beautify the side driveway. American Home Shield one-year home warranty will be provided to new owner. Gift Plantation offers a deep-water community dock, neighborhood pool, tennis courts, small clubhouse, picnic area, and a social community to enjoy neighbors and planned events.
