 Clean, sophisticated and comfortable great room. |
loose model. Features like first-story columns, a steep tin roof, high
ceilings and double wrap around porches add Old South flavor to a home
that’s actually very streamlined and modern in its floor plan. “The house is one of the most straightforward I’ve ever done,” Finlay told Architectural Digest. “But it’s not without its dramatic or refined side, which I think helps connect it to the nearby aesthetic of Beaufort and Savannah and Charleston.” Dramatic and refined, indeed. The floors are covered in antique English limestone and antique heart pine. The coffered ceilings, columns, handsome mantelpiece and wainscoting make the interior feel warmer and more intimate despite its ample volume. The custom French doors are solid mahogany with bronze and polished nickel hardware. The state of the art kitchen has professional grade appliances. There are wet bars and wine coolers on both floors. Upstairs, in the media room there is a 10’ by 6’ roll down screen for the very highest quality of theater experiences. The grounds are professionally designed, with landscaping that meanders through a wonderland of magnificent live oaks and exotic flowers to the most exquisite river view imaginable. The private deepwater dock on the Chechessee Creek is the ideal spot for fishing, boating, or just relaxing with the Lowcountry sunset. The property is adjacent to a 400-acre nature preserve, and only a short distance from all of Spring Island’s “manmade” amenities. Old Tabby Links golf course, designed by Arnold Palmer, is widely considered one of the finest in the country, and the equestrian center is top-notch. As for arts and culture, the island’s artist-in-residence program, guest lecturers, and on-site naturalists provide an excellent forum for fun, learning and discussion, making Spring Island much livelier than your average retreat. Just a half-hour drive from the historic town of Beaufort and the upscale resort island of Hilton Head, Spring Island embodies the best of nature and civilization. Four Duck Pen Court is offered at $3,795,000. Property Details |
