Overview

Location is very important to fully enjoying island life. This wonderful golf course home is located on one of Daniel Island Park's most desirable cul-de-sac streets. A large park is situated within the cul-de-sac, and many of the island's most exquisite homes are found here. A nearby path leads to the beautiful Daniel Island Club House and the golf center. The rear of the home offers stunning panoramic views over three fairways of the Beresford Creek Course. The floor plan of a home is very important. This home's floor plan is extremely well thought out offering several wonderful surprises. The current owners significantly enhanced the home with dramatic improvements to the kitchen and adding a second floor bonus room. Also, there are two bedroom suites on the main floor! READ MOREThe home has strong curb appeal with gabled roof lines and grand trees framing the home perfectly. The entrance to the home is welcoming with full front porch and a unique patio perfect for welcoming neighbors for an impromptu glass of wine. Entering the home natural light gives you the feeling of warmth and happiness. Glimpses of the golf course beyond pull you in. The dining room is large and perfect for gathering with extended family over the holidays. By the way, if your family prefers their own space, the guest cottages at the Daniel Island Club are a short walk and they are wonderful. Also, off the foyer is a vestibule leading to a room that can serve as a main floor guest suite or office. The home is very unique for the island in that it has a main floor master suite and a guest suite with full bath. This configuration is great for families with an infant they want nearby or family member who doesn't handle stairs well. If a second bedroom isn't needed on the first floor, this space is perfect for an office with its own exterior entrance. If you work-at-home, clients can come and go without entering the primary living space. Further into the home you are welcomed by the family room which is open to the kitchen. French doors with fixed glass doors on both sides create a window wall capturing the amazing views of the backyard and the tranquil golf course. The family room's beautiful fireplace with custom built-ins on either side complete the room.The kitchen will delight the gourmet in the family especially with the amazing improvements recently made. Oh my, who was the designer who pulled this together so well? The main kitchen was expanded by adding a large, open butler's pantry with an additional French door style 42"" Sub-Zero refrigerator and a tall 30"" Sub Zero wine cooler with about 147 bottle capacity. The cabinets are done in a dreamy color which is tied in with the kitchen island cabinet color as well. The lighted, display cabinets give the area warmth and charm. There is also a large sink in the butler's pantry. Combining the new space with the original space results in a unique designer feel to the kitchen. The family will love informal dining at your large kitchen table overlooking the golf course. The amazing views are enjoyed from throughout the kitchen. The main kitchen appliances are Monogram 48"" refrigerator, 36"" gas range, an additional electric wall oven (yes, two ovens!), dishwasher and a Sharp drawer microwave. Combine these appliances with the butler's pantry Sub Zero and enjoy those runs to Costco.Off the kitchen there is an exterior door to the rear screened porch which runs almost the full length of the home...about 42'! The current owners are known for fun dinner parties hosted on the screened porch and the charming outdoor living room built around a fireplace. There is ample room to add a pool in the back yard.The master suite is on the first floor. Wake up to gorgeous sunrises over the golf course. Slip into the Champagne bubbling tub or the large frameless shower. Dual vanities separated by floor to ceiling cabinetry are well designed and offer tons of storage for all of your needs. Designer tile is used throughout setting a luxurious tone to the bathroom. A huge custom finished walk-in closet is found off the master bath.The second floor features two fabulous ""getaway"" spaces. First there is a 16' X 21' media room with stunning golf course views through a window wall which also fills the room with delightful natural light. The owners recently finished the space over the garage resulting in an upstairs office and an additional 17' X 21' family room. There are 3 bedrooms on the second floor, each with private bath. The bathrooms are all done beautifully with granite counters and designer tile shower/bath surrounds. The entire second floor is done in Brazilian Cherry floors and all of the bedrooms also have walk-in closets! A very cool aspect of the upstairs floor plan is that one of the bedrooms can be closed off with the new family to room to create an amazing private guest suite. A word of caution, guest may never leave.This second floor is one of the finest we have seen when you consider everything it offers with 3 bedrooms with private bathrooms, 2 huge media/family rooms, an office area, and the guest suite configuration mentioned above.140 Balfour should be on your ""must see list.""
