This is a dream home, upgraded with love and quality craftsmanship from floor to ceiling. The house is situated upon the direct center plot of the west wing of Mt. Royal in Grand Oaks, on a small incline above the other homes. The subdivision pool is seven houses away, while Bee's Landing Recreation Center is a short walk through the neighborhood, boasting full athletic fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, and dog parks. This home is an Augusta Plan, which was the model used to present Grand Oaks Plantation to potential buyers during initial construction. The model home had dual access to the screened porch, which in turn provided dual access to the master bedroom. This created a dramatic improvement to the flow of thehome;however, the model home layout was unavailable on the new construction feature sheet.The owner worked with the builder, at substantial additional cost, to be able to have the model
home layout in the home presented for sale today. The owner is unaware of any other property in the neighborhood, aside from the model, with the two sliding doors. During temperate
months, both can be left open to the interconnected travertine-decked porch, which adds 200square feet of extra outdoor living space for lounging. The imported travertine was continued
into the home, replacing all the vinyl flooring in an intricate bordered diamond pattern. Also, all the 12-foot ceilings were trimmed in specialty crown moulding. The owner found a mill that was
involved with the Charleston Place Hotel remodeling project and bought the surplus to install along the entire main area. Double stacked windows in the front and back create a fresh, open, and airy feel overlooking a large back yard, which is just the right size for ease of maintenance.
The privacy fence and closed blinds provide an escape to cozy comfort, while the top row of windows still let in the beautiful natural light. Open everything up, and the westward facing rear
view combined with the tree line allow the afternoon sunshine to dance throughout the interior, culminating in spectacular Charleston sunsets. In keeping with the Charleston ambience, shades of pastel colors grace the bedrooms and bathrooms. Dual access to the master bedroom leads to a dual sink bathroom with separate shower and tub, as well as a large walk-in closet. Light neutral tones were chosen for the carpets and main area walls, while hardwood
floors reflect the recessed can lighting and chandeliers in the main area.
Heading upstairs, the storage area above the garage was not considered in the original square footage but was converted into an extra half bathroom to improve the standard of living for anyone using the upstairs FROG. On hot summer days, you can have confidence in the two-zone HVAC system because all the mechanical parts of the central air conditioner have been replaced and cycled for less than a month. For cold winter nights, you can activate the gas log fireplace by remote control to provide a quick boost to the heat in the living room while curling up to watch a movie on the full A/V in-wall entertainment system. The current design is set up for 14 speakers with 10 Bose cubes, two monitors, and two subwoofers. The acoustics of the space are phenomenal, producing a sound quality that can rival any movie theater. This home has ample space to play while hosting parties for family and friends. The television is wall mounted to the cross beam between the windows overlooking the backyard, which allows it to be viewed while preparing food in the kitchen, entertaining, exercising, or playing pool. The former TV nook was converted into an ultra-suede wraparound chair, which is a favorite spot to relax, and the double thickness two tone window treatments were designed, cut, and hand-stitched by the
