This immaculate custom-built home is a shining example of refined craftsmanship and luxury living. Built by Crane Building Company using a Frank Betz floor plan, the home offers an exceptional open-concept layout that blends elegant design with everyday comfort. The attention to detail is evident from the moment you step inside—featuring 3'' hardwood floors throughout the main level, heavy custom trim, and soaring 14' ceilings in the main living areas.
Set against a tranquil pond with mature landscaping and palm trees, the home's outdoor living spaces are just as impressive. The Carolina Room, which can be glass-enclosed or screened, includes a cozy fireplace with gas logs—perfect for enjoying serene water views year-round. The grilling deck, custom stone patio, and new rear walkway create an ideal setup for family entertaining.
The chef's kitchen is a true highlight, equipped with top-of-the-line Thermador and Bosch appliances, granite counters, a custom hood vent, and abundant workspace. The great room stuns with a new stacked stone fireplace and a striking coffered ceiling, while the dining and foyer areas impress with elegant design and spaciousness.
The private master suite is a luxurious retreat, featuring a vaulted, beamed ceiling, Roman shower, whirlpool tub, granite counters, and a custom walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath on the main floor provide ample space, while an upper-level guest suite offers added privacy with a bedroom, full bath, and living area.
Additional features include extensive storage, custom closets, and two walk-in attic spaces. This home truly offers the complete package—luxury, functionality, and an unbeatable location.
Located in the prestigious St. James Plantation, residents enjoy access to world-class amenities: a private oceanfront beach club, 30+ miles of trails, 81 holes of golf, a full-service marina with restaurant and tiki bar, state-of-the-art athletic clubs, tennis, parks, and more.
