This is the most incredible Officer's home to come on the market in years, and it is the only one that has a pool, a garage, and an outdoor living room/pool cabana! The house has been beautifully maintained and updated with new a geothermal HVAC heating/cooling system which is approximately 25% more efficient than a traditional system. Further improvements include 2 new Carrier air handlers, a renovated first floor half-bath, and a completely renovated kitchen with Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and a Viking wall oven. The kitchen also features granite counters, custom cabinetry, copper apron sink, and a great eat-in area for the family to gather. The rest of the first floor is complete with a formal living room, separate dining room, parlor/family room, and 2 porches that have been enclosed and used as informal gathering spaces. On the second floor are the 3 guest rooms with 2 full baths, and a completely renovated master suite with woodburning fireplace, attached office/study, and a luxurious master bath with custom cabinetry, granite counters, dual vanities, and an over-sized tile shower. There is a separate water closet and a large walk-in closet as well as outside porch access. Both the first floor and the second floor interior spaces have very tall ceilings that are finished with the most extraordinary, pressed tin ceilings that you can imagine. The 3rd floor has been beautifully finished with a new full bathroom, exposed brick, another laundry area, and is a perfect space for a second master or a mother-in-law suite. There are hardwood floors throughout the entire house and outside access from almost every room which allows for ocean breezes to flow throughout the house with all of the doors and windows open as was intended in the original design. There is also a basement that provides tons of storage, and the roof is a combination of metal and slate. Other, exterior improvements include a golf cart shed, new pool deck, hot tub, irrigation system with a well pump, perimeter security and fire system with wireless smoke detectors, an electric fence, and the construction of a fantastic pool cabana/outdoor living room complete with refrigerator, stereo sound system, bar counter, cable TV, and an outdoor fire-pit for grilling and oyster roasts. There is even a cute, little playhouse on the other side of the pool. The lanscaping has been well-maintained and is very mature and lush, and the property is equipped with an automatic bug control system in the yard as well. The separate 2 car garage is a rarity and is great for cars, storage, or a workshop. The beach access path is just a few steps away, and the Sand Dunes Club is just as close for swimming and other activities, and the Sullivan's Island boat ramp is just a few blocks away. This is by far the best Officer's home to come on the market in many, many years with this level of value, and the neighborhood is simply terrific.
