541 W Rice Planters Lane

This impeccably maintained, magazine-worthy 2017 farmhouse sits on a coveted high half-acre of the Snee Farm Golf Course, only 12 minutes from both downtown Charleston and the renowned Isle of Palms powder-sand beach. Nestled among mature trees and plantings within the graceful and private Rice Planters Pointe cul-de-sac neighborhood of only 19 homes, this stunning open-plan 4 bedroom/3.5 bath 3265 sq ft home boasts a main-floor primary suite, large upstairs family room, and twin 40-ft entertaining porches, each running the width of the home. The rear fully screened-in porch offers a lush and expansive view of Snee Farm's 10th green and fairway, and the popular Snee Farm clubhouse--with tennis, swim, and social facilities--lies within easy strolling distance, or use the privateneighborhood golf-cart path! Offering true Charleston curb appeal, a free-standing, oversized two-car garage is complete with workbench and extra refrigeration. Step through the generous double-door entry into a modern, fully open-concept main floor of airy window walls, 10-ft ceilings and 8-ft doors that marry the best of both modern and classic farmhouse worlds. Natural hardwood floors, white shiplap, built-in book-and-display cases and striking trim detail abound throughout. The large open kitchen's mammoth 9-foot center island with seating is the gathering hub of the main-floor plan, designed for entertaining even the largest get-togethers. Generous living and dining areas face a marble-tiled gas fireplace. The dining area can easily accommodate seating for 8-10, even an additional table of 8-10 for holidays and special events. The picture-perfect kitchen boasts white counter-to-ceiling cabinetry with pullouts, white subway tile backsplash, generous pantry with built-in shelving, and all-stainless appliances: Italian Bertazzoni French-door fridge/freezer plus 36-inch 5-burner range/oven with exhaust hood, oversized slideout-drawer microwave, Bosch dishwasher, 30-inch contemporary farm sink with commercial-style pull-down faucet plus disposal. A large, conveniently located main-floor laundry room with full cabinetry plus utility sink offers heavy-duty front-access washer/dryer on storage pedestals, directly down the hall from an attractively equipped and detailed powder room. Main floor lighting fixtures and window treatments are refined and well-curated. A spectacular feature of this home is the large, sun-filled, main-floor primary suite with double walk-in closets plus a stunningly generous ensuite bath of floor-to-ceiling marble with cavernous, glassed-in shower. Upstairs, three charmingly laid-out bedrooms (one currently utilized as a large, hardwood-floored office) plus two dual-access full baths surround the oversized family room and furnished extra-wide hallway. Beauty and luxury have not been the only focus of the sole owners; a number of key functional enhancements have been added, augmenting the value of this special home. They include a comprehensive security system, total encapsulation and dehumidifying of the home's crawl space to ensure a thoroughly dry and healthy under-house environment, a dual water-meter/greywater setup for dramatic irrigation cost-savings, and a whole-house surge protector to mitigate lightning strikes during heavy storms. The home is also protected by a built-in pest control system and termite bond. This stunning farmhouse with sweeping golf course views is sure to impress and won't last long!
