You know we have been looking at new homes for a while. This one is the first that felt like, “okay, this checks the boxes”
The granite front porch sold me right away. wine and cheese with everyone and with the larger width and depth, you can see they built the home with this in mind. And the kitchen is exactly what I wanted because this is where we all hang out and this has the built in refrigerator, freezer, double ovens with the pantry right there, and the island is set up so your not doing that awkward “move over” dance. And I have never seen this before, a 45″ workstation sink is genius. Two people can actually use it without elbow wars.
Then you see the laundry room and it’s amazing. In this 5 bedroom house you have 4 slide out drawers to hold the 4 laundry baskets and since they have a set place, the room stays organized. It also has a pet washing station with slate floors and tiled walls it’s just a smart use of space. The main floor suite is perfect, and the walk in closet has lighting right on the hanger bars so you can actually see everything. The bathroom has a curbless shower shower, built in bench, dual vanities and a toto wash-let toilet. It is not every house that has these features.
The finished basement doesn’t feel like a basement as it has big windows, double doors out to the pool stairs, bright and open. It’s set up for movie nights with Savant controlled speaker and media throughout the house, a beverage center, and even a steam shower down there. Upstairs you have another primary suite as well as two more bedrooms with baths so the layout works so well.
Outside is straight up resort mode. Covered granite porch with wall-wash lighting, speakers, a pool with a 6″ swim deck for in water lounge chairs and umbrellas, sheer descent water feature and bluestone patio and walkways, all the low maintenance stuff we actually want.
And the location is perfect for getting people out of the house. The neighborhood has a path to Goose Creek with kayak and paddle board racks to jump on the water and head over to the sandy beach at Goose Creek beach. This is also 15 minutes to South Harbor Rd beach without the car and Croateux Winery. iconic for the French country vibes is basically just around the corner.
