About This Home
As of December 2018The search is over! You have just found the perfect custom-built home on a premium marshfront lot along the historic Ashley River corridor. Situated in The Refuge at Whitehall, this 4-bedroom, 4.5 bath home checks off many boxes! From every room along the back side of the home, the view is one visual gulp of nature with Spanish-moss lined oaks that swoop over the lot, to the view of the marsh with incredible sunsets and moon views! There are two large screened porch areas on the main level of the home, one of which is accessible from the master suite, as well as a covered deck on the main level and a large covered patio area on the ground level, complete with outdoor gas-piped grilling space, bar top, and additional mobile table top - all built for entertaining family and friends!Convenience of living close to schools, shopping, etc., yet in a marshfront community in the serenity of nature is what you'll experience living here!
The inside floor plan is sure to please with the master suite located on the main level and having great views to the marsh from inside or outsideâ”on your own private screened porch! At the end of a hectic day, you'll enjoy retreating to the luxurious master bathroom with large soaking tub and oversized custom-tiled shower. Also on the main level is where you'll find a guest bedroom and full hall bathroom plus laundry room.
For indoor entertaining, the spacious kitchen, located in the heart of the home, features granite countersâ”and plenty of them---as well as a kitchen island, and bar top for guests to relax in the kitchen area, stainless appliances, and an opening to the family room. There's an informal dining area in the kitchen as well as a separate formal dining room with wainscoting and plantation shutters, giving the space an elegant feel. Plenty of space here for family mealtime gatherings and entertaining friends! Just off the kitchen is the family room with custom built-in bookshelves, the perfect spot for showcasing family pictures or knick-knacks and, the focal point of the custom built-ins is the gas fireplace, a cozy place for snuggling up on cold winter nights. Enjoy the view here to the marsh beyond the covered deck area....no shortage of outdoor living space in this home!
Upstairs you'll find two more bedrooms each hosting plenty of storage space and connected through a "Jack 'n Jill" bathroom. This is not your typical Jack n' Jill bathroom however. Here you'll find each vanity area with its own toilet! The shared area is the bathtub/shower and large linen closet.
With storage in mind, you'll be pleasantly surprised by a LARGE attic area through the upstairs hall closet. Be sure to check out this space when you're there! In this area you can store oversized items and stand up and walk around with no trouble--a real asset to have this much walkable storage space!
If all of this isn't enough, there's more! The ground-floor space has been finished for bonus living and includes an office/flex room, full bathroom with shower, and a spacious family/bonus area with access to the backyard/covered patio on the ground level. There's even a water connection in this space for a full-size refrigerator.
In addition to the finished space here, there is also an oversized garage area with 2 full-size garage doors and 1 golf cart door plus an additional storage area under the front porch! Again, TONS of storage inside and outside of this home!
Other noteworthy features of this custom-built home include high-end "IPE" wood decking on all of the exterior decking arounds of the home, rounded corners of all interior walls, transom windows above all main level doorsâ”even closet doors; surround sound system; wiring in place for a security system; lawn irrigation system; stamped concrete on lower patio; ceiling fans throughout, plantation shutters in the front windows on the main level and 2-in blinds on others, etc. The features of this home area too many to list and can only be appreciated in person! Property is NOT in a flood zone!
Don't delay in seeing this great home todayâ”located in the highly sought-after Dorchester II school district and in this beautiful marshfront community with its own community dock and outdoor amenity center & playpark. Welcome home to 8649 Refuge Point Circle
