1136 Ocean Forest Lane

Description

There aren't many properties in the Lowcountry that have marsh, creek, AND ocean views! This home has one of the most spectacular views you will find. This custom home was built designed by Cusick & Hazeltine Architects and constructed by renowned local builder, Harold Noland. It was carefully engineered and built with the finest, strongest materials. Construction includes steel beams, steel anchors and strapping, hot dipped screws and nails, oversized lumber, and oversized spread footings. This home is perfectly situated on a large, rare .79 acre lot and is positioned facing East to best benefit the sunrise and moonrises over the marsh and ocean. This is an inverted floor plan to take advantage of the views from the living spaces. The driveway entry is pea gravel that winds through...mature landscaping and Live Oaks. The combination of the landscaping, pea gravel, brick front steps, and pickled pine shiplapped ceiling make a grand and welcoming statement. The two-story foyer is light-filled with direct views of the marsh, creek, and ocean as soon as you walk through the custom mahogany door. The first floor has three guest bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a study that can also accommodate an extra sleeping space, and a large living room for guests. The living room and two of the guest bedrooms have incredible, unobstructed views. There are two covered, screened porches on either side of the home on the first floor as well as a sun deck that has a space for a "Solo Stove" fire pit. There is room for a pool to be built into the first floor deck and these plans and survey are attached in the MLS documents. There is a 3-stop elevator from the garage to the second floor main living space. The second floor has a fabulous and bright, open floor plan. The kitchen and dining area flow beautifully into the living room with 15 foot beamed and shiplapped, tall ceilings. The living room was designed to have no porch in front of its windows, as to not disrupt any of the stunning view. The living room has custom built-in shelving and cabinetry and has a wood-burning fireplace with gas starter and stone hearth and surround. The fireplace is double-sided and can also be enjoyed from the primary bedroom. The kitchen has custom cabinetry, glass subway tile backsplash, black stainless steel Frigidaire appliances including a gas range and hood. The paneled, french door refrigerator is a seamless design with the cabinetry. The kitchen has granite countertops and barstool seating along with a dining area that accommodates a large farm table and overlooks the view. There is a large pantry/laundry room just off of the kitchen that has a pocket door, front-loader washer and dryer on pedestals, full size laundry tub, hanging space, granite countertops, small beverage refrigerator, and plenty of storage with built-in cabinetry and shelving. There is a powder room on the second floor as well for guests while entertaining. There are two covered decks on the second floor as well as a Crow's Nest up top for the ultimate views. All outdoor spaces have wired audio systems. The primary suite is also on the second floor and has pocket doors to a large light-filled study overlooking the ocean. The primary bathroom is large with granite countertops, dual lavatory vanity, tile flooring, jetted tub, private water closet, and large tiled shower with bench, Grohe rain shower head, handheld shower head, and two body sprays. This home has Brazilian cherry flooring, Anderson high impact windows and doors, Air Knight air purification system, Dehumidifiers in the enclosed garage and attic, and whole house surge protector. The garage is an enclosed mudroom with hot and cold shower just outside the door, small storage area under the stairs for beach gear, epoxy painted floors, and has room for 3 cars. There is a whole house central vac that also services the garage. There is a 500 gallon buried propane tank with line to the deck for grilling. The mature landscaping and Live
