Tucked away on a large and private wooded lot, behind a stately gated entrance at the end of an elegant brick paver driveway, you’ll find this breathtaking example of Lowcountry charm. Opulent and meticulously maintained, this stunning custom home is nestled amid lush tropical landscaping on 2.75 acres of land. The driveway encircles a custom estate fountain directly in front of the home, while a wide and welcoming staircase leads up to a large rocking chair style front porch. A heavy front door, featuring a beautiful leaded glass oval lite and flanked by matching leaded glass sidelights, opens into the arched and columned foyer, where coffered ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, and crisp white crown molding draw you into the meticulously-crafted living space.

To the right of the entryway is an elegant formal dining room, where a deep tray ceiling, attractive chair rails and crown molding, and a classic chandelier add an air of sophistication and refinement to any occasion, whether you’re hosting a family gathering or entertaining friends. You’ll love the great room, where the lofty vaulted ceiling and suspended beam create a bright open space, while the large gas fireplace calls to mind cozy evenings spent with loved ones in front of a flickering fire. The large gourmet-style kitchen features recessed lighting, set into a gorgeous coffered ceiling, and is equipped with high-end stainless steel appliances (including a wall oven and Dacor 6-burner gas cooktop and ventilation hood), handsome polished granite countertops, raised panel Cherry cabinets, a stainless steel farmhouse sink, a raised breakfast bar, and abundance of cabinet and counter space, and a pantry for additional storage space. Also on the main floor are two sizable guest bedrooms and a full bathroom with a wide vanity and tub/shower combo. Between the guest rooms, a glass paned center-hinged door opens onto a wide screened porch, perfect for unwinding under the ceiling fan with a cool drink after a long day at work, and the extended rear deck even has a greenhouse! Upstairs, you’ll find a a huge laundry room, while the spacious master suite is a true owners retreat, boasting a second gas fireplace, massive his-and-hers walk-in closets with custom built-in storage, and a wide double window with wooded views. The luxurious en suite features a sit-down vanity flanked by dual vessel sinks, a separate water closet, and a custom Koehler digital spa shower featuring multiple jets and shower heads. A spacious fourth bedroom, with its own full en suite, is located on the ground floor, along with a private recording studio and a custom-built in-home movie theater; complete with a concession and lobby area! The home also features a huge three-car garage, equipped with a four-post car lift (Ferrari not included!) and two large walk-in dog kennels! Outside, the manicured backyard features a beautiful paver-tiled garden patio, where you’ll find built-in bench seating, a fire pit, and a custom pergola, housing a custom brick pizza oven and grilling area, which is perfect for backyard cookouts with family and friends. A second garden patio offers a perfect place for your outdoor dining set (perfect for second breakfast and elevensies), and the adjacent custom putting green features sand traps/bunkers and 3-hole pitching pads. Beyond that, at the very edge of the Wild, you’ll find two cozy storage holes; not nasty, wet holes, filled with worms and ooze, nor dry, sandy holes either; these are hobbit-holes, and meant for….yard tools! Two custom-built replica Hobbit homes bring a taste of the Shire to your property, and are so beautifully constructed that it’s difficult to believe they’re storage sheds. Your very own Bag End, and you won’t even have to fight off a dragon to get it! In addition to all of this, you’ll also find an outdoor life-size chess set, automated landscape sprinklers and LED lighting, and designated tractor and trailer parking. Centrally located on Gahagan Rd, this property is just minutes away from Historic Downtown Summerville and I-26, and just a short drive to historic plantations, area beaches, and the legendary shopping and dining of Historic Downtown Charleston. With one price to rule them all, this opportunity won’t last long. So, don’t let it slip away! Come see your new home, today!!
