About this home

Located in the Players Club neighborhood of St. James Plantation, this quintessential Southern low country style home offers a central location just a short distance to the Players Club amenity center featuring, croquet, fitness, outdoor pool, tennis, and putting greens along with convenient access to a nearby entry/exit. Positioned on a scenic kayak lake where residents are allowed to paddle, fish, and fully enjoy the water, the setting here is truly something special. A private dock extends from the backyard, making it easy to launch a kayak or simply sit and take in the peaceful surroundings. From the driveway, you're welcomed by mature landscaping and a true rocking chair front porch into this classic low country style home. Step inside to a defined foyer with a formal dining room immediately off the entry, anchored by a real brick accent wall that adds character and warmth ideal for family/friend gatherings. Moving forward, the home opens into an expansive great room featuring a cathedral ceiling, abundant natural light, and a fireplace flanked by custom built-in cabinetry. The kitchen is centrally located and built for function with staggered cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, a gas cooktop, and a layout that opens directly to the breakfast nook and great room. The step-down Carolina room/sunroom creates a separate living space that pops with a brick accent wall, calming skyscape ceiling, and designed to bring the outside backdrop of the pond and nature inside. The primary suite is located on the main level with a spacious layout and a well-appointed private bath featuring dual vanities, an air bubble soaking tub, walk-in shower, and a well-designed walk-in closet with excellent storage. Additional first-floor features include a powder room, laundry area, and direct access to an oversized 2 car garage. Upstairs, you are greeted by a landing that creates a natural transition into the second story heated/cooled sunroom, a true standout feature! This enclosed room is finished with a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, tile flooring, and walls of windows that capture elevated, long-range views of the lake and surrounding natural landscape. The second floor also includes two guest bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a large bonus room with a wet bar ideal for a media space, additional living area, or additional guest quarters. If you are searching for a well-built home with an incredibly private nature setting you have found it in St. James Plantaiton.
