The epitome of modern urban living with all the southern charm and warmth of a Charleston style home. With almost 2800 sf of updated living space, this home is an entertainer's dream combined with intimate cozy spaces for every day living. Walk through the courtyard door and step into the welcoming slate patio perfect for hosting neighbors for a happy hour celebration. Impressive columns form the entry to the formal living room that overlooks the sunny front courtyard. An open bright living space with sparkling hardwood floors combined with 9 foot ceilings accented by crown moldings creates an air of comfort and design sophistication. The gracious dining room can accommodate large dinner parties with access to both the living room and the family room. The fireplace in the family room with surrounding built-in cabinets for display and storage as well as a bay window overlooking the front courtyard is the perfect place to settle in for a fun movie night or snuggle up and read your favorite book. Step through to the gourmet kitchen with every amenity a chef could dream of - large island with seating, custom cabinets with lighted upper display, expansive quartz counters, stainless steel appliances including a double wall oven and wine refrigerator, and a breakfast nook (banquet available to convey) with views through the glass door to another private patio.
