HABERSHAM -There is a quality and there is a quality with elegance. This home is the rare exception that defines both. You cannot find a home this size with more uniqueness and personality. That combination is primarily reserved for the ''big square foot'' homes as seen in Kiawah or Palmetto Bluff.

This is a custom home built with restoration statement pieces to separate it from others. The house was designed by Habersham's premier designer, Moser Design Group, and build by a highly reputable and creative builder.

From the comfortable deep front porch with large columns to the open floor plan with ten foot ceilings, this home has a special feeling of openness and livability. There are four sets of walnut french doors off the porch allowing for the true Southern experience. As you enter this home stop and observe for a moment. You will begin to see all those special touches that make this home such a unique place to live.

Look down at the hardwood walnut floors, observe the overhead bead board, custom antique stained glass transoms and the very special arched butler's pantry with leaded glass cabinet doors. Notice the custom built-in wine and glass cabinet in the spacious dining - indeed a place to enjoy a fine dinner with friends and listen to music through the built-in stereo system.

Prepare a gourmet meal in the upscale custom designed kitchen which was featured on the cover of Southern Living's Ultimate Kitchen magazine. White floor to ceiling cabinetry by Litchfield Cabinetry along with upscale appliances including a Wolfe gas stovetop, Dacor oven and microwave, Fischer and Paykel two drawer dishwasher and Sub Zero refrigerator make this a chef's delight. There is also a hand crafted separate built-in hutch for storage of your china, etc. Off the kitchen is a walk in pantry which includes a built-in wine refrigerator and a unique antique door.

Move to the back of the home into the separate master bedroom wing. This encompasses the master bedroom, very large master bath and laundry room along with a screened in porch accessed by french doors from the bedroom. The master bath has an Albert & Victoria clawfoot bathtub and glass enclosed shower. The two vanities have Carrerra marble tops and all polished nickel faucets and fixtures. There is a huge walk in closet with custom shelving.

Before going upstairs take time to take the steps to the bright, large windowed Carolina room with large french doors to the tabby courtyard. A cozy place to be used as reading room, tv room, or whatever you need a little extra space for.

As you start upstairs notice the large antique newel post. The stairwell is incorporated in a tower with large windows allowing views of gorgeous oak trees. At the top of the stairs there is a custom designed desk with enough room for all your home office needs. There are two cozy bedrooms which share a large bath with a custom glassed shower and pocket doors.

Outside is a separate garage with attached carport which has substantial storage in the attic. It also has attached a small office with a separate entrance.

You cannot underestimate the quality of the landscaping - from the huge live oak gracing the front yard to the hardscaped back yard with mature trees and flowers to the custom paver and tabby driveway.

It is difficult to take in all the custom features of this home, so linger awhile and enjoy its beauty and comfort and know that you will own a very special Habersham home.
