Old Charleston elegance meets coastal casual in this Carolina Park favorite Whitham Plan! Amble up the drive toward the relaxing front porch and you'll feel the desire to pour a glass of iced tea and sit a spell, waving to neighbors as you relax on your front piazza. Step inside and you'll immediately notice details that hint at custom treatments found throughout the home. Extensive crown molding, striking dark hardwood floors, custom plantation shutters, and soaring ceilings lend an air of upscale refinement. To the left of the entry is a space perfect as a home office. As it contains a closet, this space could easily be utilized as a main floor guest bedroom. Adjacent is an elegant full bath. Just down the hall you will find a dedicated study separated by glass paned French doors.Comfortable for everyday living, yet ideal for entertaining, the openness of this floorplan allows for all of the living areas to flow seamlessly into each other.
