Elegant, Carolina Low Country home nestled on 3 scenic acres, complete with a tranquil pond, in the highly sought-after community of Calumet. Custom-built with meticulous craftsmanship, this residence offers a unique opportunity to transform it into a stunning, Southern Living masterpiece with your personalized updates.
The exterior exudes classic Southern charm with hand-molded brickwork and premium Hardie Board siding. Operable shutters, custom-made by The Bank in New Orleans, perfectly complement the home's architectural integrity, while five copper gas lanterns illuminate the expansive brick verandas that span the front and back of the home. The rear courtyard, adorned with a fountain and enclosed by wrought iron fencing, offers a peaceful setting overlooking the pond.
Inside, 10- and 12-foot ceilings create an airy ambiance, enhanced by antique heart pine flooring and cypress doors, also sourced from The Bank in Nola. Upon entering, you're welcomed by a wide foyer that leads to a music room designed for a grand piano, and a formal dining area. The living room features a gas fireplace and opens to views of the courtyard and pond. In the kitchen, you'll find granite countertops and rarely-used, top-of-the-line appliances, including a Viking range, Bosch dishwasher, and a 2nd GE Profile oven.
On the 1st floor, you've got the primary suite and 2 well-appointed guest bedrooms on one side, and then a very generous 3rd guest bedroom on the other side by the garage entry, offering extra privacy. The primary has 2 large walk-in closets, a small laundry room in the bathroom, and a door leading to the courtyard. Upstairs, you'll find the 4th guest bedroom (OR BONUS) with a kitchenette, full bath, and large walk-in closet. There's also an added exercise room or office.
There's an abundant amount of storage throughout the entire home. The main laundry room has a built-in desk and utility sink. There's a huge pantry (currently used as a holiday decoration storage room).
The home was thoughtfully constructed with 6'' wall studs, which provide significant benefits, including increased insulation capacity, improved energy efficiency (and lower utilities), better soundproofing, and greater structural strength. There's a 3-zone HVAC system, 2 sound systems, and a brand NEW ROOF. Oversized 3-car garage with built-in workspace and 2 large storage rooms, and an insulated garden room in the courtyard. All of this in the small, gated community of Calumet, where homes VERY RARELY come available. This established neighborhood features large, minimum 2-acre lots, mature trees that add to the charm and privacy, and is located in the southern corner of Madison, so it's central to everything.
