Beresford Hall is located about two miles from Daniel Island and ten miles from Historic Charleston. The community has about 160 homes, and properties typically range from half acre to 1 acre. The community is one of the very few gated communities in Charleston. Entering the gates, you are struck with the natural beauty and mature landscaping. Enjoy the grandeur of magnificent 100 year old, live oak trees with Spanish moss draped across limbs. The few of the amenities include The Ruins club house and a boat ramp with ice makers strategically located nearby. The community dock is dreamy and the infinity pool is artistically set next to the club house and dock. Everything is crafted to perfectly blend and accentuate the natural beauty of the area. The driveway to the home is long at about 600 ft, private and tree lined. As you drive into the open, an impressive, beautiful home brings a smile to your face. The home is set back allowing for large lawns right and left of the drive. Perhaps the new owners will build a tennis court there. To the left of the driveway is another large area where a guest house or artist studio could be built. Up the grand staircase, a large, southern front porch welcomes you. Stepping into the home, views through the home, to the water beyond elicit another smile and draw you in. Elegant, Caribbean heart pine floors run throughout most of the home. A formal dining room is to the left of the entrance foyer. The tray ceiling, wainscoting and crown molding give the room a tone of relaxed elegance. A fabulous butler's pantry and bar are accessed from the dining room. The pantry includes sink, Fisher Paykel dishwasher, and stainless freezer drawers. Oh, the parties you will have in this friendly neighborhood! Further into the home is the family room, which is open to the kitchen. A wall of windows across the back side of the home feature long marsh and water views to Beresford Creek. The room is finished with hardwood floors, a coffered ceiling, and beautifully crafted built-ins on either side of the gas fireplace. The room has a wonderful feeling of spaciousness with warm, natural light filling the space. Of course, all eyes are on the view. The kitchen is stunning. The gourmet chef in the family would love this kitchen, but when they see the views they will lose sleep until they own it. Of course, the kitchen is open to the family room for easy conversation with friends and family members. Guests will mosey up to the island and sit for casual conversation while you prepare delicacies to be enjoyed on the amazing screened porch. Refrigerator and 6 burner gas range are Viking. Dish washers are Fisher Paykel. An amazing screened porch is located just out a door from the kitchen. A dramatic floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace is the focal point. An historic kiln was once located on the property. It is said that it took 14 days for flat bottom barges to carry the brick to Historic Charleston to build the mansions still seen today in the Battery neighborhood. A few of the original bricks from the kiln are embedded in the fireplace. The open ceiling, featuring large cypress beams, is another dramatic feature of this space. You will greatly appreciate the cooling tropical breezes that gently blow through the three-sided screen porch during the summer. There is also a covered porch running the entire length of the rear of the home with access from the screened porch, kitchen, family room and master suite. The master suite is found off the family room. The bedroom is inviting with coffered ceiling, abundant windows and plenty of space for soft seating. As the remote-controlled window coverings rise, enjoy the soft morning views and warm evening sunsets. Every night you will want to celebrate the glorious sunsets from this home. Step onto the cozy private screened porch off the master suite and enjoy a champagne toast. The master closet is well done with custom finished drawers, shelves and space to hang every item in your wardrobe. The master bath is large and sumptuous. Enjoy the heated tile floors, frameless steam shower, jetted soaking tub and large dual vanities. To reach the upper floors you may use the 4-stop elevator or climb the beautiful hardwood staircase. The second-floor features three large bedrooms. All with amazing views to the marsh and water beyond. Two bedrooms share a well-designed Jack & Jill bathroom. The third bedroom has a large private bathroom with shower. Of course, all the bathrooms are done with granite counters, designer tile floors and frameless glass enclosures. Hoping for a place to watch your favorite movies and sporting events? Of course, this home has that covered. A large media room is on the second floor. Built-ins set the stage for almost any size TV you might want. Wiring is also in place for a projection TV, if that is your preference. Abundant cabinets and a closet are ready for your components. A full bath is also found in the media room. Enjoy climbing the beautiful custom built wood spiral staircase to the third floor or take the conveniently located elevator. Enjoy the art nooks on the way up the stairs. The third floor is the ultimate bonus room. The current owners use it as an executive office. Dramatic hardwood floors compliment rich, dark stained custom built-ins surrounding a raised hearth fireplace on the far wall. To the left are dual sets of glass sliding doors providing access to a long covered balcony. The views from this level are the best we have seen in a home. Enjoy having friends over for the ultimate July 4th fireworks over Charleston in the distance. The room is a masterpiece and even has a convenient powder room. The garage can hold at least four cars. There is a lot of space for all the toys needed to fully enjoy the low country – jet skies, golf cart, boat, golf clubs, etc. The elevator serves the garage and all levels of the home. A beautiful enclosed French door entrance from the garage to the elevator and stairs was recently added by the current owners. The dock is about 300 ft. long with a pier head, built in bench and floating dock. The creek is tidal and while you can get a boat in, please do your research to fully understand the depth at both high and low tide. The home also has a sprinkler system throughout. There is also a gas connection for a grill just outside of the breakfast room slider. Please note that the Buyers must confirm any information in this listing that is important in the purchase decision such as, but not limited to, square footage, lot size, taxes and schools.
