For a gracious home on deep water, situated in one of the Charleston area's premiere golf and equestrian communities, look no further than 4965 Steeplechase Lane. This stately brick home was custom built in 1996 with special attention to sturdy elevated construction, a family-friendly floor plan, and landscape plan that evokes classic Charleston garden style. Situated on the Stono River, this home includes a private deep water dock (with boat lift!) and offers panoramic views from double porches and a third floor balcony. Soak up the sun around the home's in-ground pool, just steps from the water's edge. The .99 acre lot features picturesque oaks and other native plant species highlighted by the thoughtful landscaping, designed by Robert Chesnut. The home is three stories over a ground-level garage/workshop with an elevator servicing all levels. The first level includes a spacious eat-in kitchen with pantry, living room with wood-burning fireplace, formal dining room, music/sitting room, and access to the porch with stairs leading directly down to the pool deck. The master suite with private study, bathroom, dual closets, and porch access anchors the second level, which also houses the laundry room, two additional bedrooms, and a shared bath. On the third level, you'll find a fourth bedroom with en-suite bath and balcony access, a playroom/study, and ample walk-in attic storage. This home is located in the Plantation at Stono Ferry, a quiet, gated 600-acre community in the town of Hollywood, just 18 miles from historic downtown Charleston. The neighborhood offers a pool, clubhouse, and tennis courts, all included in a modest annual HOA fee. The neighborhood also features an 18-hole semi-private golf course and equestrian center (memberships available/usage fees may apply). For traditional Lowcountry style, deep water at your footsteps, and neighborhood amenities, this home is it.
