Consider this spectacular, beautifully updated Lowcountry-style home with breathtaking views of Stoney Creek and the May River beyond. Located in charming May River Plantation this stunning property boasts over two and half acres of perfectly manicured grounds as well as 3,600 heated square feet (per owner) of casual elegance. Featuring an outstanding open floorplan, great bedroom separation and tremendous flexibility to incorporate a home office or studio, the home showcases a professionally designed interior.
An oversized, circular drive beckons you past impeccably maintained gardens with mature vegetation and leads you to the charming entry courtyard. Entering the home through a beautiful antique door on heart pine flooring, the foyer ushers you past a spacious guest suite encompassing a private bath. Uniquely designed to also function as a cabana bath with instant access to the swimming pool, the suite is just steps away from a cleverly placed pantry with an additional refrigerator, freezer and storage space – perfect for those lazy days spent lounging by the pool.
Beyond the foyer and first guest suite, at the rear of the home, lays the spacious, yet warm and inviting great room. Boasting beautiful views and easy access to the kitchen, the great room features French doors leading to the covered porch and private pool beyond and is complimented by heart pine flooring, a beamed cathedral ceiling, and impressive iron chandelier. A state of the art sound system has been installed throughout the first floor of this home.
A chef’s dream, the gourmet kitchen boasts professional grade appliances including an integrated refrigerator, gas range with hood, and Fisher & Paykel dishwashing drawers. Custom whitewashed cabinetry is complimented by recessed and pendant lighting, antique brick flooring and a mirrored backsplash to take full advantage of the stunning water views. The centerpiece of the kitchen is a one-of-a-kind antique apothecary in its current state as a spacious, stylish and yet incredibly practical island providing ample work space with great storage. Locally handcrafted in nearby Yemessee, South Carolina, the Vetrostone countertops provide a durable surface and unique design element to this elegant kitchen.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the spacious dining area. Featuring antique brick flooring, pendant lighting and stunning water views, the dining area enjoys easy access to the covered porch and gas grill and is large enough to seat at least eight guests comfortably.
The luxurious, first floor master suite features soothing water views of Stoney Creek and the May River while offering complete and total privacy for its occupants. The suite also boasts access to a charming sun deck, spacious walk-in closet and spa-like bath with custom lighting, white tile and a separate walk-in shower.
The first floor of this spacious home also features two additional guest suites, each boasting a private bath, and a well thought-out laundry room with a charming farmhouse style sink, washer, dryer and ample storage for household goods.
A surprisingly spacious loft with quaint half bath provides an excellent opportunity for transformation to an office, library, home theater, playroom, or artist’s studio. Boasting high ceilings, built-in storage, bunks, plush carpeting and a charming pendant light fixture, natural light pours into this uniquely flexible space.
Perhaps the most incredible aspect of this casual, yet elegant home is the unprecedented outdoor living space. To take full advantage of the simply stunning vistas of Rose Dhu and Stoney Creeks and the majestic May River, 77 Pine River Drive boasts a fully equipped private dock complete with electricity and fresh water (and is also approved for an enlarged pier head and boat lift).
The professionally maintained rear yard features a horseshoe pit perfect for summertime volleyball or soccer competitions while the generously sized fire pit (with convenient gas line to make quick and easy work of lighting the fire) is sure to become the go-to destination on the property when pure relaxation is in order. For the ultimate protection and safety of four-legged residents and weekend-guests, the entire property is secured by an Invisible Fence system.
The aforementioned private swimming pool and corresponding pool deck is the ideal location to savor picture-perfect views and warm tidal breezes. In perfect harmony with azure skies and salty marsh air, the pool compliments the landscape ideally without interfering with the 180 degree natural and unobstructed views. Perfect for entertaining, the pool deck and expansive (22 x 20!) covered porch provides ample room for lounging, dining, dancing and more.
