Beautifully sited on a tranquil lagoon, the immaculately maintained home at 80 Surfsong Road offers the best of both worlds: expansive pond views to the rear and the rhythmic surf of the Atlantic Ocean just across the lane. It also offers a delightful daily choice: take a dip in the salty water of the sea or in the home's heated saltwater pool with ozone and saltwater purification systems. The pool's inviting waters are set into a rear sundeck overlooking the lagoon and the property's venerable live oaks. Renovated to the studs in 2008 by Steve Brenner with Solaris Builders, this home is a true work of art. On approach to the home, brick pathways and a grand Charlestonian staircase with wrought-iron inset welcome guests to ascend to the covered front porch. There, striking entry doors with leaded glass, works of art in themselves, lead into a high-ceilinged foyer. Visible from the moment of entry is the living room's two-story wall of windows, filling the home with sunlight and showcasing the water views. Custom shelving flanks a dramatic gas fireplace, the hardwood flooring is cool underfoot, and an open gallery with striking iron balustrade overlooks the space from the second floor. A television rises from a cabinet upon command. A wide arched doorway cased in lovely white trim frames a light-filled dining room with a glass door leading to the wraparound porch. It's open to the home's white kitchen with sleek white cabinetry, contrasting countertops, and breakfast bar offering extra seating space. Here the flooring is a beautiful pale marble. Tall windows over the sink invite natural light inside, and the appliances are professional grade, including the Wolf® six-burner gas cooktop, stainless-steel dual wall ovens, Miele® dishwasher, and paneled Sub-Zero® refrigerator. A butler's pantry offers both a wine cooler and extra prep and storage space. On the opposite side of the main floor lies the home's first master suite, with a row of windows overlooking the pond and a master bath with custom-designed marble flooring, clawfoot tub, expansive frameless-glass walk-in shower, and his-and-hers sinks. Take the staircase or the home's elevator upstairs to the striking wood-paneled study with floor-to-ceiling library bookshelves. One wall is given over to a wide opening overlooking the view via the living room windows, and can be closed for privacy with pocket doors. The home's second-floor master suite takes up the west wing. Windows frame an even more dramatic view of the pond, and the bath offers a soaking tub set beneath sunny windows. Wool sisal rugs cushion the hardwood floors in all three bedrooms on this level, and the two guest bedrooms share a full bath. Additional features of this spacious, open home include a Japanese- and Balinese-inspired garden designed by Howell Beach including Balinese statues, Chinese horse troughs, and bonsai trees; exotic trees including Jacaranda, Ceibo, and Palo Borracho; exotic flowers including Sasanqua and Japonica camellias; an Art Deco theme including several Japanese screens; a climate-controlled two-car garage; a climate-controlled mudroom and storage with built-in shelving on the ground level; an attic with additional storage; state-of-the-art internet and wi-fi capability; a built-in TV; impact-rated windows and doors; irrigation, sound, and security systems; numerous ground drains facilitating excellent water runoff; split HVACs; and outdoor lighting across the entire property.
