About the property

Beautifully positioned along the 9th hole of the Members Club golf course, this custom-built brick home offers 3,062 square feet of living space and exceptional golf course views in St. James Plantation. Mature landscaping and a side-load garage create impressive curb appeal, while the setting across the back of the property boasts long fairway views framed by mature pines. The home has been exceptionally well maintained and includes a 2019 roof, whole-house Generac generator, sealed crawlspace, irrigation well, and propane water heater. Inside, quality construction, generous room sizes, and one-level living make this a well-rounded home. Step inside and the quality of the home becomes immediately apparent, with 10-foot ceilings, 3/4-inch oak hardwood flooring, detailed trim work, and casement windows. The spacious great room is centered around a fireplace with custom built-ins on each side, while large windows across the back bring the golf course setting into the room. Adjacent to the great room, the formal dining room is generously sized and provides an impressive setting for family dinners and larger gatherings. The kitchen offers generous cabinet and countertop space, with quartz countertops, a gas cooktop, large center island, skylight, and a walk-in pantry. Just beyond the kitchen, the spacious breakfast area provides plenty of room for a full-size table and opens into a comfortable sitting area. Together, these rooms become the heart of the home warm, versatile gathering spaces. The expansive heated and cooled sunroom stretches across the back of the home and is one of its standout spaces. With windows spanning nearly the entire room and a beautiful golf course backdrop, there is plenty of space to create multiple sitting areas while enjoying Carolina's mild weather throughout the year. Doors open directly to the large paver patio, extending the living space outdoors. The oversized primary suite takes full advantage of the setting, with a tray ceiling, a large bay of windows, and plenty of room for a separate sitting area. The spacious primary bathroom features separate vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower, while two closets including a large walk-in with built-in shelving and a separate linen closet provide exceptional storage. Two additional bedrooms on the main level provide plenty of room for family and overnight guests, with good closet space and a full bathroom conveniently located between them. Upstairs, the large bonus room offers a completely different kind of space, with a vaulted ceiling, skylights, and its own full bathroom. This versatile space could be used as media room, hobby area or additional guest quarters. There is no lack of storage with an enormous walk-in attic. The generously sized laundry room offers plenty of cabinetry, a utility sink, and room to keep everyday household items organized and out of sight. The oversized side-load garage provides additional space beyond the vehicles, with a built-in workbench and plenty of room for projects. A private irrigation well helps maintain the established landscaping, while a dedicated propane connection makes grilling easy without the need for separate tanks. The property extends approximately 10 feet beyond the garden area, adding even more depth to the backyard. Irwin Drive is one of St. James Plantation's most popular neighborhoods, known for its friendly atmosphere and active social scene. The location is equally convenient, with the Members Club close by and easy access to one of the community's main entry and exit gates.
