About this home
Love to entertain while enjoying stunning views of the pond and the 10th green of Founders? This beautifully maintained move in ready brick custom home offers an open floor plan designed for gathering and everyday comfort, thoughtfully positioned to capture peaceful water and golf course vistas from the main living areas. The cook's kitchen features granite countertops, new appliances, abundant cabinetry, generous prep space, and a built-in desk area, opening seamlessly to the great room where vaulted ceilings, a wall of windows, and a cozy fireplace create a warm, light-filled setting.
The private owner's wing serves as a true retreat. The spacious primary suite is highlighted by a double tray ceiling and serene views, while the luxurious bath offers dual vanities, a jetted jacuzzi tub, a built-in dressing table, and a beautifully appointed walk-in shower complete with built-in bench seating, handheld spray, and overhead rain shower. Dual walk-in closets provide exceptional storage and functionality.
On the opposite side of the home, you'll find a guest bedroom and full bath, along with a dedicated office or study featuring a coffered ceiling, ideal for working from home or accommodating visitors with privacy.
Upstairs, a loft-style bedroom overlooks the great room below, adding architectural interest and an open feel. A generous bonus room with built-in drawers and additional storage closets provides flexible living space for guests, hobbies, fitness, or media use. Crown molding throughout adds timeless architectural detail and craftsmanship.
Outdoor living truly shines. The glass-enclosed porch features its own dedicated mini-split system, allowing for true year-round comfort while enjoying views of the pond and 10th green of Founders. The low-maintenance Trex deck offers a beautiful setting for entertaining or enjoying quiet mornings surrounded by water and golf views. The oversized garage provides ample room for vehicles and workspace, complete with a large workbench with built-in drawers and additional cabinetry for exceptional organization.
Major updates provide peace of mind, including a fortified roof installed in 2023, a newer HVAC system, and a fully encapsulated crawl space with dehumidifier. An updated guest bath and meticulous maintenance throughout make this home truly move-in ready.
Located in St. James Plantation, residents enjoy a gated coastal community with four secure entry points, a private oceanfront beach club with pool and showers, a full-service marina, and waterfront dining at Beacon 315 Restaurant & Tiki Bar. Optional private club memberships provide access to four golf clubs offering 81 holes of championship golf, additional pools, fitness centers, and award-winning tennis, pickleball, and croquet.
Whether entertaining on the deck, relaxing on the enclosed porch, or unwinding in your spa-inspired primary suite, this home offers an exceptional blend of comfort, elegance, and coastal lifestyle....
