For those seeking a vacation from the ordinary, you’ve officially found your getaway. This majestic two-story private home, set at the heart of Harbour Town and just steps away from shopping, dining and entertainment, is an architectural gem that offers a tour of the South’s timeless charm.

The influence of old Charleston design is evident form the soaring double front porches, framed by live oak and magnolia branches. This elevated design harkens to the Queen City, but its true joy awaits inside where it allows for breathtakingly tall ceilings. Follow the hardwood pine floors to the great room, and you’ll revel in a breathtaking sense of spaciousness from oversized mirrors and French doors that open to bring the outside in.

To one end of this space, a plush sectional sofa fronts a wide flat-screen TV ringed by custom built-ins. To the other end, a wide Mackenzie-Childs dining table with room for the entire party to gather around a meal and conversation. Just enjoying a bite of breakfast before heading out? Take your coffee at the eye-catching semi-circle table, integrated into the wide tiled counters of the kitchen’s center island. Infused with timeless Southern elegance, this expansive kitchen boasts wide farmhouse sink, custom cabinets and a full suite of gourmet appliances.

Don’t think you’re finished being amazed yet. You haven’t seen the outdoor spaces. Set beyond the great room, the elegant rear porch sets a splash-down spa and soaking pool amid old world grandeur, with a convenient outdoor kitchen offering an ideal place for entertaining.

And throughout the home’s main living spaces, you’ll find all the comforts of home, including a downstairs powder room and a spacious laundry with washer, dryer and ironing board concealed behind a painting of the famed Harbour Town lighthouse.

The same architectural brilliance and timeless décor that set this property apart lend comfort and elegance to the guest suites. The first, found on the main floor, has been dubbed “The Hemingway Suite,” infused with lush natural light from plantation-shuttered windows that climb toward extra tall ceilings. Set amid stylish custom built-ins, the king-size bed, ceiling fan, flat-screen TV and private bath.

The tour of the South continues with a pair of upstairs guest rooms, the Charleston Suite and the Savannah suite. Each boasts a king-size bed set between dazzling pillars, as well as private baths with jacuzzi tubs and walk-in showers, and shared access to the stunning second-story porch.

The coup de grace of this enchanting home is the Bermuda Suite, a suitably luxurious space that serves as an owner’s suite. Not only does it offer a plush king-size bed set between columns, flat-screen TV set in built-in armoire, and en suite bath with expansive walk-in shower, it provides everything needed for a hideaway all to oneself. Here you can brew your morning coffee at the spacious kitchenette, then enjoy it in elevated solitude in the soaring private porch.

More than just a beautiful vacation getaway with the best attractions, amenities and activities of Sea Pines just steps beyond your door, this magnificent home is a study in comfort, style and timeless Southern elegance.
