For the discerning traveler who values nothing but the best in luxury, décor and comfort, this two-story palace with easy access to pristine beaches and the upscale Plantation Golf Club is the gold standard.

Gorgeous reclaimed furniture and an emphasis on antique and global décor define this property almost as much as its stunning architecture, blissful wide-open spaces and devotion to elegance in every corner.

Even the outdoor living space dazzles, with a front porch retreat that places lovely and comfortable outdoor armchairs around a reclaimed coffee table overlooking the ample pool deck. The pool deck is resplendent in high-end comforts, from the resort-sized pool with attached spa, Weber propane grill and several chaise lounges and chairs for reclining in the shade of ivy-strewn boughs of a sprawling live oak.

Inside, a spacious living area welcomes you with tall ceilings and towering built-in bookshelves concealing a large-screen TV while displaying a wetbar and a shelves full of eye-catching antiques and décor. Four luxurious armchairs and a lush leather sofa fill this space, while wide glass doors on two sides beg to be opened, ushering in heavenly sea breezes.

This living space downstairs dazzles, but a much larger space upstairs is the real jaw-dropper. Incorporating three distinctly different spaces across its open expanse, the upstairs serves as the true heart of the home, set under towering tray ceilings held aloft by beautiful columns.

A living area to one side exults in a global theme, with the only wall not marked by picturesque windows bearing an eye-catching tapestry inspired by India as well as a cozy fireplace. A seating area created by beautiful crimson couch and loveseat plus leather armchairs around a hammered tin-topped coffee table is situated around a tall armoire housing flat-screen TV and X-Box 360.

A sophisticated dining space in the center places seating for eight around an expansive table of reclaimed wood set under an elegant chandelier. Soaring domed windows fill this space with natural light.

Another seating area rounds out this sprawling great room, with a leather sofa and two arm chairs placed around a lush antiqued coffee table bathed in a panorama of windows. This area also features a desk for those taking a working vacation, as well as access to two patios with stunning views. The first places four Adirondack chairs before the twisting branches of a live oak with views down to the pool deck. The second offers a more intimate space with two outdoor chairs and a table fronting serene wooded views.

The conversation area also enjoys easy access to the gourmet-caliber kitchen, where custom cabinets under lofty ceilings top lovely speckled black granite countertops. A separate island offers a prep sink and bar seating for four, while the larger counter winds around a space defined by gleaming stainless steel appliances from the French door refrigerator to the glass-topped range.

This property’s vast footprint and dedication to unique and luxurious style allows for six distinctly different bedrooms.

A master suite upstairs features a king size bed in rich buttery linens in a superbly appointed space boasting a flat-screen TV and a private entrance to the more intimate of the two upstairs patios. A breathtaking en suite in subdued pineapple tones stretches a vast double vanity under a lengthy mirror, set across from a large garden tub with spa jets and a roomy corner shower set in frosted glass.

Another amply sized suite awaits just off of the main staircase’s landing. A king size bed set in a kaleidoscopically colorful duvet set anchors a space bedecked in Asian-inspired appointments. A spa-like en suite takes your breath away with its open airy feeling, corner garden tub with spa jets, and roomy glass-enclosed shower with custom tilework.

Four more bedrooms can be found on the first floor. One employs a king size bed in striking monochromatic striped linens against nautical-inspired décor as well as a flat-screen TV and an en suite with a beautiful sage pain scheme, spacious vanity and stone tile work in a tub shower.

A second suite contrasts a queen size bed in floral-patterned robin’s egg blue against rich lemony walls. This room also has a flat-screen TV and incorporates a full bath with single vanity and glass-door walk-in shower.

The third suite features a queen size bed, in a beach themed décor, and the fourth suite with three twin sized beds in a nautical-inspired theme. They share a spacious bathroom in robins egg blue with dual vanity.

A washer and dryer with utility sink on the ground floor completes the array of amenities available in this sprawling property.

Upstairs, you’re in a grand palace with every lavish detail exuding perfection. Downstairs, you’re in a cozy pool-side retreat decked out in antique-inspired elegance. But either way, you’re in one of the most desirable second-row vacation getaways in Sea Pines.
