Description
Imagine living in a coastal gated community offering rare privacy, inspired design, distinctive architectural genius, and your own private island on nearly .7 acres--a peaceful escape connected by a charming bridge. This one story home offers that dream and so much more. 2778 Cedar Crest Dr. showcases striking architectural interest throughout, with custom angles, dramatic ceiling heights, and thoughtful detailing that elevates every space, making both indoor and outdoor living equally spectacular. The rocking chair front porch invites you to relax on an oversized custom porch swing nestled near a sweet smelling jasmine vine. You'll be tempted to stay there, but you must come inside--and then make your way to the spectacular yard. The great room features soaring ceilings, LVP flooring, an upgraded fireplace with custom built ins, and telescopic doors opening to the Carolina room with serene pond views. The gourmet kitchen includes a double island, Bosch oven and microwave, Wolfe induction cooktop, pull out drawers, and two pantries, including a Butler's pantry accented by a refurbished RJ Reynolds Farm barn door. A quiet speakeasy nook flanks the kitchen, offering a perfect place to unwind after enjoying your hobbies. The primary suite provides a spacious retreat with trey ceilings, pond views, his and her closets, and an ensuite with dual vanities, walk in shower, and instant hot water. The open floor plan allows excellent separation for guests with two additional bedrooms and two baths. The dedicated office with glass doors is an ideal space to get everything in order and opens to the enlarged patio and yard--a gardener's delight with the island and pond in a very private setting. A spacious laundry room with sink and storage and a well-appointed drop zone complete the main living areas. The oversized epoxy floored garage includes built in work zones. Outdoor living is exceptional: enjoy varied garden and lawn low maintenance plantings, a fenced in area with raised garden beds and a cut flower garden, a greenhouse, outdoor utility sink, gas firepit with piped propane, grill hook up, professional landscape lighting, and a high-end Jacuzzi hot tub.
