The Smith home is a traditional design, originally built by one of the island's foremost developers as his personal residence. It is spacious, well designed, and beautifully decorated from top to bottom. This 4 bedroom, 3 ½ bath home has over 4,000 heated sq. ft. with many, many upgrades.

The lot is an oversized homesite with wonderful lagoon and golf course views and is an ideal setting for the backyard inground pool. At the entry, there is a circular driveway with a side entry oversized garage. The grounds have been lovingly landscaped and maintained with lots of specimen plants and outdoor lighting. An aggregate walk leads through the courtyard entry past a lily pond.

Step inside the foyer and immediately you will begin to appreciate the traditional design of this home. Antique heart pine floors run throughout the foyer. The foyer opens to a formal living room with beamed ceiling, extensive moldings and a wall of base cabinetry and bookcases that flank the wood burning fireplace. Note the heavy hearth and mantle, the twin skylights that wash the room in natural light, the wainscoting trim and all of the directional recessed lighting.

To the right of the foyer is a built-in wet bar with lots of cherry cabinetry with raised, arched panel doors. The foyer opens to a formal dining room with more heart pine floors, tray ceiling and triple windows on either side of the room that bring in natural light. At the end of the foyer is a half-bath powder room with more cherry cabinetry and a silent flush water closet. A doorway off the foyer leads to a covered breezeway and access to the oversized 2-car garage.

The home is designed around the ever popular kitchen/Carolina room. The kitchen is a chef's delight. There is a full complement of raised panel, cherry cabinetry, all topped in a heavy bullnosed granite. Appliances include an Asko stainless dishwasher, triple stainless JennAir and grill, Whirlpool Gold stainless oven and microwave and a double door Whirlpool refrigerator with thru-the-door water and ice. Off the kitchen is a utility laundry room with a built-in desk and service sink.

The kitchen opens to a Carolina room which centers on a 2 nd wood burning fireplace. There is a raised, cantilevered old Savannah gray brick hearth, traditional cherry mantle and built-in bookcases. Overhead is a tray ceiling, paddle fan, and the bay window at the end of the room provides wonderful views to the rear of the home. Off the Carolina room is a breakfast bay for informal dining. Double sliders from the Carolina room open to the outside patio.

The 4-bedroom configuration is ideal. There is a long hallway connecting the bedrooms with built-in bookcases.
