226 Country Club Lane

Description

This home is as fine of an example of midcentury modern architecture as can be found in the city of Charleston. It is a brilliant expression of form and function, thanks to the careful and collaborative efforts of architect Heather Wilson and interior designer Angie Hranowsky. Their vision came together as a masterpiece so spectacular, it was featured in Architectural Digest in 2017. This turnkey home sits on almost a full acre in one of the most private lots and quietest streets in the highly sought after Country Club of Charleston neighborhood. The main structure was designed by architect Liollio in 1961 and an extensive renovation and addition was completed in 2014, converting this home into 5185 square feet of beautiful indoor-outdoor living. The home's primary living space wrapsaround the period-perfect pool and the chef's kitchen includes top of the line appliances, counter to ceiling Ann Sacks travertine and Newport Brass fixtures. The kitchen extends to a lounge area that includes chic built-in sectional seating. A smart butler's pantry is tucked behind the kitchen, a Wilson signature. The home boasts soaring ceilings accented by wooden beams in the living and dining spaces, as well as original wall to wall exposed brick that encases a wood burning fireplace, both hallmarks of midcentury modern architecture. The highest level of finishes appear at every turn: glazed concrete floors, hurricane proof windows and doors, tubs wrapped in exotic stone, a combination of high-end new and carefully selected vintage light fixtures, to name a few. A new wing was added to create a private primary suite, complete with dual vanities, closets, and washrooms as well as a large guest suite that includes a morning bar and exterior entrance. The opposite end of the home houses a large bonus space that leads to two generously sized bedrooms with ensuite baths. The poolside cabana with outdoor kitchen and lounge area affords endless opportunities for entertaining. A large circular driveway provides ample parking, and a second driveway leads to the rear of the house and two-car garage. This listing represents a rare opportunity to become a part of history and enjoy lowcountry living in a peaceful, one-of-a-kind setting, just minutes from downtown Charleston. --
