Step through the gated entry into a gracious 5,000+ square foot main residence that features a perfect blend of Southern charm and modern comfort. This distinguished 4 level home features 4 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, a theater room, equipped gym, 2 laundry rooms, bonus rooms, 3 gas fireplace and amazing storage. The newly replaced elevator provides accessing levels of the home with ease and comfort. The light-filled chefs' kitchen is a showpiece- both elegant and exceptionally functional. Custom cream-colored cabinetry stretches to the 10' ceilings offering abundant storage and a seamless built-in look. The two matching paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezers will ensure you have plenty of space for even the most serious cook. A dramatic custom walnut range hood serves as a sophisticated focal point above the Thermador 6 gas burner range with griddle that rests atop 1.5 ovens. Light colored quartz countertops are both beautiful and durable. At the heart of the kitchen is a large center island with seating and is capped by a solid walnut topped prep area. Other kitchen amenities include two Bosch dishwashers, 2 large sinks and a Scotsman built-in icemaker. The oversized kitchen windows bring in natural light and overlook the lovely back property and pool. The elegant primary suite offers a serene retreat, complete with gas fireplace, large walk-in closet and a spacious light-filled office that overlooks the sparkling pool and fully reimagined gardens. The newly renovated ensuite bath features natural light, a generously sized tiled shower with bench and multiple shower heads. A custom hide-away vanity, bidet and linen closet are the finishing touches for this private sanctuary combining comfort, style and thoughtful design in every detail. A mix of modern features and classic South Carolina charm are artfully combined with rocking chair porches, roomy covered back porch, a heated salt water gunite pool that joins with roomy decking and green lawns that overlook private pastures. Located steps from the pool is an included two-story cottage. Each level of the cottage features a one-bedroom, one bath apartment with fully equipped efficiency kitchens. The lower cottage also includes a gas fireplace, washer/dryer and private screened patio. The cottages are ideal for guests or rental income (the square footage of the cottage is not a part of the main house footage). This exceptional property is truly one-of-a-kind. It is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Aiken's historic charm but with newer amenities. Just steps from the vibrant downtown district, this exquisite estate offers the perfect blend of privacy, luxury and southern hospitality.
