Step into the timeless charm of this exquisitely designed front courtyard, reminiscent of downtown Charleston's historic elegance. Unique in the neighborhood, twin herringbone brick pathways converge, creating a grand entrance enclosed by formal flower beds. The front courtyard features violet and silver toned foliage, expertly appointed to perfectly complement the home's exterior and soft violet front door. Four mature and evergreen European olive trees provide graceful beauty year-round. The updated front door flanked by gas lanterns features antique style hardware and an authentic 18th century door knocker imported from France. Once inside, you are greeted by an impressive two-story foyer. This customized home includes premium builder options including a gas fireplace mantle with granite stone hearth, a premium chef's kitchen, metal stair railings, recessed lighting and double sinks in both full bathrooms plus granite countertops. The kitchen was outfitted with all the premium options including quartz countertops, glass inset door cabinetry with premium crown molding, chef's hat over range and antique style hardware. Additionally, there is plenty of pull-out shelving, a Vauth Sagel German engineered double shelf corner carousel and a custom spice rack in the pantry. All flush-mount, pendant, vanity and chandelier lighting fixtures have been upgraded throughout the entire home, including the closets. The second-story flooring was also upgraded to match the first floor. A spacious bonus room could be a workout space or media room, or can easily be converted into a fourth bedroom. The renovated laundry room features custom cabinetry, a birch wood countertop and ceramic Arabesque tile backsplash. The backyard is an entertainer's dream, featuring a two-tier fountain centered on an expansive herringbone brick patio. Premium bluestone walkways lead to the screened-in porch and the side door of the garage. A herringbone brick pad at the back of the home offers the perfect grill spot, with a nearby natural gas bib for convenience. Designed with privacy in mind, the property is lined on both sides by mature, 10-foot privacy hedges. The professionally leveled back lawn is lined with a dramatic and ever flowering row of pink sweet drift roses. The rear portion of the lawn includes a Carolina Brick topped retaining wall that sets the stage for what lies beyond. Step down either of the two sets of brick stairs and you are immediately transported from the formal landscaped garden into a peaceful and fern filled private woodland wonderland. On the southern side of this wetland forest, lies a centuries old great oak tree, as well as numerous Coral Bark and Red Emperor Japanese Maple trees. Poplar Grove is a thoughtfully designed master-planned community that blends natural beauty with exceptional amenities. The community features a saltwater swimming pool, a cutting-edge fitness center, and a marshfront observation deck. Poplar Grove has miles of direct access to Rantowles Creek, where fishing, paddleboarding, and boating are right at your doorstep. The community also features a charming Boathouse, a premier equestrian facility, miles of trails, and secure boat storage perfect for those seeking an active, outdoor lifestyle.
