About this home
This Coastal Cottage retreat is exceptionally well built and offers more than 3,000 square feet on the main level in St. James Plantation. Constructed using ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) construction, the home combines reinforced concrete walls with continuous insulation, creating a remarkably solid structure while providing increased energy efficiency, reduced outside noise, and superior wind resistance compared to standard construction methods. Beneath the home, the crawlspace with a dehumidifier replaces the typical exposed soil floor with a substantial concrete barrier, creating a cleaner, more accessible crawlspace. With eleven rooms on the main level, a bonus room and walk-in attic storage upstairs, a completely remodeled chef's kitchen, and a temperature-controlled wine closet, its quality construction and abundance of usable space truly set this home apart. The homesite provides an uncommon sense of openness and separation from neighboring properties. A large picturesque pond and landscaped common area directly across the street create a beautiful front outlook, while the drainage area along the rear provides additional space between the home and its neighbors behind. Enjoy Carolina's mild weather from three distinct indoor/outdoor living areas, including a covered side porch, heated and cooled three-season sunroom, and gracious front porch. Mature landscaping complements the setting and adds to the established feel of the property. Inside, the generously sized rooms continue the sense of space found throughout the home, with luxury vinyl flooring, arched openings and architectural details connecting the main living areas. The great room provides plenty of space for multiple seating areas and is centered around a fireplace. The completely remodeled chef's kitchen serves as the heart of the home, combining a warm Tuscan inspired style with an oversized island, extensive custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, double ovens, warming drawer and a gas cooktop beneath a substantial plaster style hood. A distinctive fireplace adds Old World character, while the temperature controlled wine closet, and generous counter space provide exceptional gathering space for family and friends. Just beyond the kitchen, a separate dining area will accommodate any size gathering. The heated and cooled three-season room stretches across the rear of the home and creates another impressive living area to enjoy throughout the year. The spacious primary suite offers two expansive custom walk-in closet and the bathroom features antique separate vanities, soaking tub and oversized tiled walk-in shower. Additional bedrooms and flexible rooms throughout the main level provide options for guests, a home office, hobbies or additional living space. Upstairs there is a bonus room and walk-in attic with a radiant reducing the temperature. There is no lack of storage with the oversized side, load garage and attic. The location within St. James Plantation is equally appealing, with the Founders Club just a short walk away, while Waterway Park and the St. James Marina are approximately a half mile from the home. This convenient location provides easy access to some of the community's most popular amenities and everything the St. James lifestyle has to offer.
