At last...its the distinctly chic and uniquely updated showplace in Thornblade that youve been waiting for! A neighborhood favorite and entertainers dream, this 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home is situated on a large corner lot adjacent to a quiet cul-de-sac. It offers the grandeur youd expect from Thornblade along with fresh and inspiring design elements that will surprise and delight you! A circular drive, additional side drive, extensive landscaping and charming dual front porches make for a grand entrance while an enchanting garden and multiple outdoor entertainment spaces await in the back. An impressive two-story foyer with grand staircase greets you and leads to the formal dining room in the right, and on the left, the living room that has been glamorously transformed into a champagne lounge featuring a show stopping chandelier and a dramatic floral ceiling. Just beyond is the study with custom built-ins and handsome wood paneling. A private hall leads to the fabulous master bedroom suite on the main. Youll be wowed by this elegant, quiet and secluded wing of the home with its trey ceiling, designer carpet, soothing spa tones, quaint seating nook for late night conversations and dual custom closets with new built-in cabinetry. The ensuite master bath is an oasis of tranquility and textures with a wood-clad ceiling, new travertine stone flooring, jetted tub, spacious shower, dual sinks and fresh paint. The gorgeous great room boasts a feature wall accented with exotic designer wallpaper, freshly painted built-ins and paneled walls, built-in bar and brick fireplace flanked by French doors leading to the brick terrace. A powder room for guests is nearby in the foyer. The oversized chefs kitchen features a large island, gas range, ample counter and storage space, walk-in pantry and the coziest keeping space with brick fireplace. The large breakfast area has expansive arched windows and brick flooring and leads into a sunroom perfect for a home office, homework area or craft room. The impressively large laundry room (designed to double as a caterers staging area) has cabinetry, its own half bath and plenty of room for additional tables or racks. A secondary staircase leads upstairs to a rec room (currently used for billiards) and a bonus room transformed into a sharp and sophisticated Irish Pub with custom built-in bar, ice maker and sink, brand new side-by-side wine cooler, elegantly painted paneling and molding and wall mounted TV. Also on this floor are three spacious bedrooms with large walk-in closets, two full baths, and a flex room (with French doors to the rec room) currently used as an exercise studio, but would also be perfect for a nursery or childrens den. A third staircase leads to a walk-in attic space. Outside there are several areas for relaxing or entertaining and mature landscaping. The thoughtfully designed floor plan of this home lends itself to hosting large parties with numerous spaces for live music, food and beverages, conversational flow for guests and easy access for service vendors...while at the same time setting the scene for intimate family gatherings, game nights and quiet dinners at home. In fact, with the extraordinary amenities available with membership to Thornblade Club (golf, pool, tennis and dining) why would you ever need to leave? Located in an award-winning school district and tucked away just minutes from I-85 and Michelin, Pelham Road shopping and restaurants, and only a short drive to GSP Airport, BMW, area hospitals, local attractions and of course Downtown Greenville, it doesnt get better than this. If youre looking for a turnkey ready estate absolutely overflowing with charisma and style...this is it. Move quickly and you can be living among the glossy pages of this magazine-worthy home. New roof in 2017 and brand new upstairs HVAC. New paint and surfaces, and plantation shutters throughout most of the house. The sellers are offering a home warranty.
