Perhaps the best built home in Charleston, 420 Elfes Field was built by Hightower Construction (recognized as one of the finest commercial construction companies in South Carolina). Built for the owners of Hightower Construction as ""their last home,"" it was planned and built way beyond the norm for residential construction. See attached list for full details. The home sits on almost an acre of wooded land in prestigious, gated Beresford Hall. The home has strong curb appeal with double front porches, a three car garage with guest suite above at the end of a brick accented drive with sea shells embedded in concrete. As you enter the home you are welcomed by glistening American walnut floors, thick crown molding and an elegant, curved, floating grand staircase. There is a library to the right through French doors and a large formal dining room to the left. The dining room features wainscoting and double tray ceiling with cove lighting. As you continue into the home, an amazing family room with gas or wood fireplace and a 22' ceiling elicits a ""wow"" reaction from even the most reserved visitor. The kitchen is open to the family room and has it all. Miles of cabinet space and granite counters. The center island is impressive and finished with an Iroko (African Teak) counter. The list of appliances is too long for this space. Every detail is addressed. Every room in the home has its own thermostat! Every window and door is monitored by the security system. The home has 600 Amp electric service. There is a generator assuring you have electricity for most of the home, air-conditioning and even hot water (we are coming to your home in a storm). The main floor master is large and sumptuous with an exterior door for those midnight dips in the pool. The upper floor bedrooms are all oversized and several have large sitting areas (larger bedrooms than most master bedrooms at this price point). Of course each has an en-suite bathroom done with the latest in tile design and vanities. A short staircase takes you to a fully outfitted home theater and adjoining multi-purpose room. Over the garage is a two bedroom guest suite with living room and private bath. The backyard is an outdoor entertainment oasis with pool, kitchen and fire pit. This home has it all. Beresford Hall is a gated community with wonderful amenities including a club house (""The Ruins""), infinity pool, deep water community dock fitting about 6 boats at a time, and a boat ramp. The community is located about 2 miles from 526 and convenient to everything. The school district is Daniel Island. While we believe all of the details in this listing are accurate, it is the Buyers' responsibility to confirm any information important to the purchase decision. Oops I forget - this home has an air-conditioned dog house!
