Port Royal Plantation

Consider this wonderfully unique Port Royal Plantation estate on a private, dual view lot. Featuring a distinctive three bedroom, four and a half bath floorplan, this charming chalet-style home boasts abundant storage, plentiful natural light, outstanding outdoor living space and quaint European-style architectural detailing.

An extended driveway beckons you past thoughtfully planned landscaping with mature vegetation and leads to an ideally placed motor court. Entering the home through imposing French doors with iron detailing, the stone-floor foyer ushers you into the heart of this remarkable home.

To the left of the foyer lies the slightly sunken living room which boasts such inviting details as hardwood floors, mahogany-stained trim and moldings, cathedral ceilings with wood beams, and a striking brick hearth woodburning fireplace. With commanding views of the Robbers Row golf course and a sparkling lagoon, this spacious room opens to the expansive rear patio and is the perfect location for entertaining.

Continuing past the living room, you enter an area offering flexible living space as an office, den, game room or craft and hobby room. A warm space with wood floors, beamed cathedral ceilings, a double-sided fireplace and brick-wall accents, this multi-purpose room offers the convenience of a hidden wet bar, as well as easy access to the garage, side entry, laundry room and one of the upstairs bedroom suites.

A short hall leads you towards exterior access as well as a well-placed laundry and utility room. Featuring stone floors and brick accents, the laundry room presents a full size washer and dryer, utility sink with an under-sink cabinet as well as a wall-mounted cupboard for storage of small necessities. Ample storage for larger items is provided through a spacious closet with pocket doors and under-stair compartment.

Repairing back down the hall and through the den, you discover a wonderfully private library possessing wood-paneled walls and beamed ceiling, built-in bookcases and display cabinet, wood floors, and ceiling fan. With a double-sided fireplace, access to the vast Carolina Room and striking golf and lagoon views, the library provides a perfect hideaway on both a stormy Sunday and a day of summer perfection.

Immediately off of the library is the impressive Carolina Room. Displaying a charming rustic stone floor, wood-paneled cathedral ceiling, brick wall and skylights, the Carolina Room offers access to the rear patio via sliding glass doors and soothing views of a beautiful lagoon and the golf course beyond.

Through the den, a staircase leads you away from the living quarters to a private bedroom suite. Comforting berber-style carpeting, beamed cathedral ceilings, and quaint brick-wall accent welcome you into this surprisingly spacious guest bedroom with ample natural light and a charming balcony overlooking the living room. The en suite bath features a stone floor, stand-alone shower, vanity with under-sink storage and appealing medicine cabinet.

Back downstairs and to the immediate right of the foyer, you stroll past French doors and find the conveniently located formal dining room. Boasting a stone floor, beamed ceilings and entry-flanking closets with wood shelving perfect for storage of fine china, crystal, silverware, and linens, the dining room offers a large window overlooking the side of the property.

Through the dining room a small hall leads you into the kitchen, complete with charming breakfast nook. Offering a large pantry, the kitchen provides a full compliment of appliances including side-by-side refrigerator, built-in oven, built-in microwave, dishwasher, a four-burner smooth top electric range, and four-burner coil top electric grill. An impressive center island compliments the abundance of maple cabinets, stone floor, and white countertops. The delightful breakfast nook features plentiful natural light and built-in bookcases.

Immediately off of the kitchen and to the right of the island is a utility closet enclosed by French doors containing the HVAC and cabinetry for storage. To the left of the island is a mud room offering stone floors, additional cabinetry and clean-up sink. The mud room also provides access to the exterior and brick-wall accents.

Returning to the foyer and just to the right of the dining room is a hall leading to the powder room and providing two large coat closets. The powder room offers a stone floor along with a single sink vanity.

To the right of the hall is the master suite. A unique space, the master suite offers the luxury of his-and-hers full baths as well as a sitting area and cozy bay window alcove. The spacious bedroom puts forward warm wood floors, beamed cathedral ceilings, a ceiling fan, multiple closets, an abundance of natural light and access to the rear patio. “His” bath offers stone floors, a linen closet, stand-alone shower, and extra-long vanity with a single sink. “Her” bath offers painted ceramic tile floors and tub surround, soaking tub, separate shower, linen closet and cultured marble-topped vanity with single sink.

Stairs in the foyer lead to an airy loft offering wood floors, beamed cathedral ceilings and a small balcony overlooking the front of the property. To the right of the loft lies an additional guest bedroom with carpeted floors, two spacious closets, wonderful natural light and a balcony with views from the side of the home. An en suite bath is comprised of stone floors, a skylight, tub and shower combination, and a generously sized vanity over white cabinetry.

Departing to the first floor, you find access to the exceptional, expansive and partially covered rear stone patio.
