Description
You truly can have it all with this one-of-a-kind custom coastal home, ideally located just steps from The Reserve Club in one of the most prestigious neighborhoods of The Reserve at St. James Plantation. Set on a serene pond-front lot, the home offers exceptional privacy, tranquil water views, and a private saltwater pool, creating a rare and highly desirable lifestyle opportunity.
Designed for today's energy-conscious buyer, the home features a brand-new hybrid solar panel system with battery storage, resulting in little to no electric bill while supporting major appliances, pool operation, hot water, and providing peace of mind during power outages. Additional efficiency features include a tankless water heater, EV charger, and newer HVAC unit—reflecting a thoughtful, forward-thinking approach to ownership.
Inside, refined elegance meets functional design. Rich hardwood floors, detailed millwork, quality craftsmanship, and an abundance of natural light define the interior. The expansive open-concept layout allows for seamless flow between the main living areas and outdoor spaces, enhancing both everyday living and entertaining. The impressive kitchen is both beautiful and practical, showcasing custom cabinetry, granite countertops, gas cooking, premium stainless-steel appliances, and a substantial island that anchors the sun-filled dining and living areas, all centered around a striking fireplace. The well-proportioned floor plan offers generous living spaces and exceptional flexibility. The first floor includes a private mother-in-law suite, ideal for guests or multigenerational living. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring tray ceilings, abundant natural light, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities and an oversized walk-in shower. Additional guest rooms and flexible spaces provide comfort and privacy throughout the home. An expansive upstairs bonus room offers exceptional separation with its own door, full bath, and separate HVAC zone.
Outdoor living is a defining feature of this property. The private saltwater pool is surrounded by seating areas overlooking the pond, creating an inviting setting for relaxation or entertaining. The pond is stocked with largemouth bass, adding a unique lifestyle element and reinforcing the home's connection to nature. Mature landscaping enhances privacy while maintaining open sightlines and a peaceful backdrop. A glass-enclosed porch and expansive patio further extend the living space outdoors, creating a true retreat-like atmosphere.
Additional features include abundant walk-in attic storage, a utility sink, ample cabinetry, and an oversized two-car garage with a dedicated storage closet. Located within one of St. James Plantation's most desirable communities, The Reserve is known for its custom homes, established streetscapes, and proximity to premier amenities.
