This beautiful 4 bedroom, 3 and bath brick home was designed by Donald Gardner and built in 2018 by a local custom home builder. This approximately 3500 sq ft, traditional Southern home was designed for utility and comfort. The living areas are open, light and airy and welcome in the light and views from the 13.94 acres and surrounding pastoral landscape. As you walk up the front steps that spill outward from the 7 wide front porch, you are greeted by a barrel vaulted ceiling and the beautiful front door with a classic Palladian window and side lites. As you stand in the 8 wide, 2 story foyer, the airiness of the home fills your eyes. To the right, and through the French door, is a large study that could be utilized as an office or library. To the left of the foyer, and through the wide cased opening, is the uniquely designed, octagonally walled dining room with a built-in china cabinet nook, perfect for entertaining family or guests. Beyond the dining room lies the warm kitchen. The cabinetry was custom built by the builder and the quality shines with French white, chocolate glazed, multi-height and crowned cabinets. There are many quality features designed into the kitchen including drawer base cabinets, stained center island with a farm style sink, and a massive walk-in pantry for over-sized kitchen appliances, home canning, or overstock. Behind the kitchen, a half bath and the laundry room are tucked away just out of sight. The oversized laundry room utilizes tons of cabinetry, a hanging rod, sink and folding area. From the kitchen, your eyes are quickly drawn to the soaring 18 ceiling in the family room. The family room is centered around the stone fireplace with gas logs which is flanked by large built-in bookshelves for displaying mementos. Light pours into this room through the back screened porch and wall which is filled with double French doors and picture windows with rectangular and arched transoms. Tucked away behind the family room is the owners suite. The master bedroom features a tray ceiling, private exit onto the screened porch, and attached ensuite bath. Walk-in closets flank the entry into the gorgeous master bath with its custom tile glass shower, jetted oval tub, his and her sinks and fine custom cabinetry. Up the open staircase, you are drawn to the arched balcony with wrought iron balusters which overlooks the living room and adds to the openness of this fine home. There are 3 equally sized bedrooms with large closets and 2 full bathrooms. There is an additional large finished bonus room that could be utilized as an office, or recreational room. There are 2 full size doors, which open to 2 massive attic storage rooms, allowing easy access for storing holiday decor and off-season items. Outside, the owner spared no expense when fully fencing the property. The fencing is less than a year old and fully comprised of wood posts, 2x4 no-climb horse fence topped with a sight board and hotwire. The pasture is divided into 2 paddocks and the main field. There is also a metal storage building for equipment storage, feed or farm toys. This home is located in a rural landscape where peace and wildlife abounds. The property is centrally located between the cities of Greenwood and Anderson. The quaint little towns of Due West and Abbeville are also close by. Due West is home to Erskine College, which is a small liberal arts college. Both Abbeville and Due West offer excellent health care facilities and cultural opportunities, such as theater, music and art centers. There are many small, local, family owned restaurants, coffee, bakery and boutique style shops. If you have a passion for the outdoors, this home is located in the Lakelands and is within a 30-45 minute drive of 5+ lakes and acres of national forest. Abbeville county schools are some of the finest in the state and reflect the character of the people in this community. Consider joining us!
