Listing details for 1314 Headquarters Plantation Dr, Johns Island, SC 29455 : Simply breathtaking! My reaction when entering this beautiful home in gated Headquarters Island! Located overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway and Stono River with nearly a half acre, this home accentuates the expansive views of the waterway and the natural surroundings. With nearly 6000 square feet, 5 ensuite bedrooms and two media/game rooms, there is plenty of space for entertaining, family and friends. This stunning home was completely renovated in 2015/2016. The new decor could be described as Island Elegant and includes new shiplap walls in many areas, new lighting fixtures, new cabinetry and plumbing fixtures in kitchen and baths, and an updated light and cool color scheme. Subtle perfection comes to mind! Click 'more' and scroll down for further details.The spacious master bedroom is 16x20 and accommodates a sitting area overlooking the waterway. The master offers access to the back porch and to the grand bathroom with a separate tub and shower room. The master closet is enormous with great built-ins. The first floor also includes an office, powder room, formal living room, dining room, a sitting/family room, the beautiful new kitchen with new appliances and island. Adjacent to the kitchen is a butlers pantry, walk-in pantry and separate desk area. The laundry room is also located downstairs and close to the kitchen. There is ample closet space and access to the elevator that services all floors. Both levels are graced with ten foot ceilings which highlight the openness and the views of the water. Upstairs you'll find 4 spacious bedrooms, each with its own uniquely designed bathroom, a media/entertainment room that could be used as a theater room and another game room large enough for a pool table with an outdoor sitting area overlooking the waterway. The current owners have spared no expense with the renovations. All new counter surfaces are natural stone, with many being White Carrara Marble. Shiplap walls line the dining room, family seating area and kitchen as well as the stair hall. The updated kitchen features many new additions including an added grand sized island with extra storage space and a honed Carrara marble top, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch gas range top with retractable ventilation, a high-end Kitchen Aid dishwasher, a reverse osmosis water system and beautiful new honed Carrara counters and a Carrara herringbone backsplash. The site-finished hardwood floors have been sanded and refinished to complement the new decor. The 3-stop elevator will take you from the ground floor to the second floor which makes bringing in groceries or moving furniture a breeze. The exterior is a haven unto itself. The 60ft x 10ft salt water swimming pool and adjoining hot tub serve both as a lap pool and a waterside entertainment area. An outdoor shower is available for your convenience. The landscaping is mature and has been improved with numerous palms and other vegetation. The pool has been fitted with a new pump, filter and saltwater chlorinator. The existing dock takes you out to the pier head and tidal creek that is just a very short boat ride to the Intracoastal. There's a jet ski ramp currently in place and a permit for a boat lift is possible with an application. Throw out a crab trap or a fishing line, you're sure to bring in a good catch! With three levels of rear outdoor patios, decks and porches, a relaxing spot to enjoy the views and salt air will not be hard to find! The screened porch is a favorite spot to enjoy morning coffee, read a book and watch the Great Heron, Eagles and other waterfowl. The front entry way is graced with three gas lanterns and IPE hardwood decking. The massive front doors present a beautiful entryway to a beautiful home! Other improvements and upgrades include a central vacuum system, new A/C duct work under the home, new boards on dock walkway, new landscaping trees, LCD lighting under home, reverse osmosis system, and a new W/D. There is so much more to tell about this home but a visit is worth a thousand words! Headquarters Plantation is an island and gated community just south of Charleston. The drive to downtown is about 10-20 minutes depending on traffic. The community has its own traffic light and turn lane from the bridge which makes ingress and egress easy. A marina is adjacent to the island which offers long term boat slips and a gas dock. Shopping and great restaurants are close by as well as medical facilities and a pharmacy. The municipal public golf course is just over the bridge and about a 4 minute drive. The flood map has been redrawn for the neighborhood and the zoning for this home should change to an "AE" as early as July 2017.
