11 Skeet Rd, Bluffton, SC 29910

11 Skeet Road is an architecturally stunning four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath European-inspired home with a carriage house in the desirable River Road neighborhood. Encircling a private lowcountry courtyard garden set in Savannah brick, the home's 4,094 square feet flow beautifully between massive open spaces and smaller, more intimate hideaways. Crafted by CS Thomas Construction from a Court Atkins Group design, the floor plan of the home puts a premium on effortless entertaining, lush livability and year-round indoor/outdoor living. Stretching out past the entry porch beneath soaring rooflines, the wide screened porch with fireplace sets an inviting tone as you step inside to an airy great room with hardwood floors, wood-burning fireplace, and arched doors beyond. Between a set of custom built-in bookshelves, the kitchen opens before you with a soaring skylight bathing a wide center island in light. A dramatic oaken center island with an overhead custom John Derian fixture anchors a space with a Lacanche dual oven and gas range, spacious back kitchen set behind a custom design see-through cabinet, and formal dining gazing out on the front entry. Just beyond, the breakfast nook features antique blue-and-white Portuguese tiles, which form a stunning custom floor design. The home's ability to bridge indoor and outdoor living is on glamorous display just beyond the rear porch, opening into a secluded space with lush greenery and brickwork set to a soundtrack of falling water from a fountain at one end. A breezeway connects a grilling porch to the home's owner's entrance of a climate controlled two-car garage and separate cart garage connected by a porte cochere. Above the garage, a 660-square foot carriage house offers full apartment living with a kitchenette, an office overlooking the gardens, bedroom with roomy closet and private bath with walk-in shower. A pair of suites on the main home's second story share ample living spaces of their own, with a private laundry serving both and a flex space ideally suited as either an in-home gym, den or guest bedroom. In each of the suites, you'll find lush spaciousness, craftsmanship and private ensuite baths with tub and shower. As the final word in the home's spacious luxury, the primary suite makes a statement in comfort and style with a massive walk-in closet, private laundry, primary bath with garden tub, walk-in shower and dual-basin vanity, and spacious bedroom looking out on the rear garden.
