This gorgeous custom home is privately tucked away in the beautiful May River Forest neighborhood of Palmetto Bluff. Offering 4,691 conditioned square feet of living space and located on the 12th fairway of the May River Golf Course, this fabulous residence includes a main home, guest apartment above the garage, and separate guest house. With cool exterior colors, standing seam metal roof, expansive windows and porches, and lush landscaping highlighted with palmetto trees and ancient live oaks, there is no doubt that the architecture and design of this estate was inspired by the South Carolina Lowcountry. What makes this home so unique, though, is the unexpected interior features that combine this quintessential Southern exterior with a more "rustic meets the contemporary" interior. Exposed wood beams in a cathedral-style living room encased by floor-to-ceiling windows accent the wood floors and grand stone fireplace. An elegant gourmet kitchen marries dark and light colors, providing a clean and comfortable ambience. It features a custom kitchen island, cabinetry and lighting, Viking appliances, and wine pantry, among other refined features that give a pleasant nod to the contemporary, making a bold yet tasteful statement in this traditional Lowcountry neighborhood. The second floor master suite provides a true retreat for future owners with a private balcony, gas burning fireplace, large his & hers walk-in closets, and spa-like bathroom with tub and shower. A first and second floor guest bedroom, additional room above the garage and detached guest house with kitchenette offer relaxing and suitable quarters for family and friends. As the ultimate home for entertaining with four porches, built-in grill off the kitchen, back patio with views of the golf course and a built-in brick firepit in the courtyard, this one of the most spectacular homes in Palmetto Bluff. Designed by Wayne Windham Architect, it was the recipient of the notable 2008 Grand Aurora Award for Best in State and Best Custom Home, as well as the 2008 Best In America Living Award for Home of the Year (National), Best In Region, and Best One of a Kind Custom Home.
