Welcome to 98 W. Shipyard Road, one of the premier homes in I'On. This stunning lakefront beauty sits on a rare double lot and epitomizes all the grandeur of old Southern charm homes seen downtown. Yet, it offers the modern conveniences for today's living. Designed by Miles Gandy Whitfield, this custom-built Neoclassical home offers stunning details including 12-foot ceilings and elaborate moldings and trim in the front parlor and formal dining room. Both formal spaces feature beautiful fireplaces with gorgeous carved mantles. Tucked off the formal living room is an airy home office. Elaborate archways lead you to the grand floating staircase, reminiscent of that seen in the historic Nathanial Russell house in downtown Charleston. Its beautiful gourmet kitchen opens to the family room and a wonderful adjoining sunroom. The kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, gorgeous cabinetry, a center island and European Delft tiles. A butler's pantry and adjoining walk-in pantry provide plenty of extra space for cookware and food storage. The family room features built-in shelving and another fireplace adorned with the same Delft tiles as in the kitchen. The adjoining sunroom is the perfect place for casual dining or reading a book. The spacious primary suite is located on this floor as is the laundry room. The primary bath offers double sinks and a large shower. An elevator takes you to the ground floor and the attached two-car garage. There are three other generous guest rooms on this level, all with en suite baths. Another sunroom is located on this floor overlooking the lush gardens. A second family room sits off two of the guest rooms, offering a private space for visitors. An unfinished third floor, which is plumbed and framed, offers the possibility for two more bedrooms and a Jack-and-Jill bath for a potential additional 535 square feet. The home sits on a large double lot, quite rare for I'On, where you can enjoy the wonderful Charleston weather nearly year-round. Sit in the formal garden and enjoy the abundant azaleas, live oak tree and beautiful fountain. The owners were insistent that the home reflect the beauty of historical homes so they used old Charleston brick and hand-wrought iron work. Sitting majestically on Westlake, this home is a favorite of the neighborhood with its premier lakefront position in front of the I'On amphitheater.
