Draped in sunlight, wrapped in exquisite landscaping, and oozing with Southern charm, this spectacular Charleston-inspired home in Haile's desirable Stratford Ridge neighborhood is a showstopper. Listen to the sound of chirping birds and enjoy the breeze, whether you're sipping your morning coffee on the front porch or winding down with a different beverage out by the pool. This home manages to simultaneously be huge and cozy, with abundant gathering and private spaces. The oversized primary suite features stunning views of the pool, as well as a generous en-suite bath and dual walk-in closets. Nearby, the office provides a quiet space for those work-from-home days. The rest of the downstairs, including a Florida room, great room, formal dining and living spaces, and chef's kitchen make for easy entertaining. Upstairs, guests will enjoy three bedrooms, one with en-suite bath, and a large bonus that's perfect for play. Speaking of play, the sparkling pool and generous yard make outdoor living easy and fun, and an outdoor shower and pool bath make it even easier to enjoy without worrying about mopping up after wet feet. No detail was spared in this custom home, and you won't want to spare a moment because it may become someone else's dream home before you know it!
