Situated on a corner lot among the winding, tree-lined lanes of Daniel Island's desirable Smythe Park community, this stately two story home represents a statement of refinement and comfort. You'll be delighted by the meticulously maintained tropical landscaping surrounding this stunning property, crowned with twin mature palmetto trees flanking a dramatically tiled front staircase. At the top of the stairs, a broad rocking chair style porch running the entire width of the house welcomes you home, the perfect spot for enjoying a cool drink on a Saturday afternoon. The tall three quarter lite front door opens into an exquisitely crafted, light-filled open floor plan, impeccably detailed with upscale finishes, crisp white crown molding and baseboards, and warm hardwood floors throughout.Wide windows with plantation shutters provide a seamless flow of light through the home, while recessed lighting and 9' ceilings contribute to a bright, airy living space. The expansive living room is ideal for gathering friends and family, and boasts built-in shelving, custom cabinetry, and a large gas fireplace for cozy evenings or movie nights. Off the living room is a spacious formal dining room, where a beautifully coffered ceiling, chair rail with wainscoting, and wide windows lend touches of traditional elegance, creating a grand setting for entertaining. The dine-in kitchen is a true chef's delight, merging modern, refined amenities with rich southern heritage. The centerpiece of this gourmet kitchen is the large custom island, boasting a gas range, brass industrial style pendant lighting, and a show stopping bespoke oyster shell countertop. Stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and an abundance of counter space graced by custom cabinetry ensure effortless meal prep for any occasion, while the clean, traditional lines of a high chair rail and beadboard paneling call to mind the days when the kitchen was the heartbeat of every home. A separate bar, complete with undercounter refrigerator, rounds out the space, while a beautiful single french door leads out to a screened back porch, overlooking a private backyard. Upstairs, the spacious owner's suite is a peaceful retreat; wide windows, recessed lighting, and a ceiling fan provide a bright, comfortable space to unwind. The attached ensuite is a true haven from the stresses of the day, beautifully appointed with a double vanity, a massive walk-in closet, a luxurious soaking tub, and a tiled step-in shower. The generously sized downstairs guest room and both upstairs guest rooms feature roomy closets, recessed lighting, wide windows, and well-appointed ensuites with large vanities and tub/shower combos. The Smythe Park community is one of Daniel Island's largest, steps away from walking trails, an 11 acre lake, Smythe Park itself, and Pirate Park. Just minutes away from Daniel Island shopping and dining, the community is the epitome of serene southern charm, and is just a short drive from golfing, area beaches, and the shops and restaurants of downtown Charleston's legendary Historic District.
