3154 Hugh Bennett Dr Johns Island, SC 29455

Rarely do you find a little bit of custom in a new construction neighborhood. But- here we are- you found it! This home features all kinds of upgrades- and even a few construction changes like wider doorframes- that aren't typically offered by the builder. Welcome to 3154 Hugh Bennett which is situated on a large 0.53 corner lot in the peaceful neighborhood of Sea Island Preserve. Situated across the street from a pond and featuring woodlands as part of the fenced in backyard, there is plenty of privacy in this 3 bedroom home. The Dunwoody plan is one of the top sellers for this builder and this home takes it to the next level with all the upgrades with the builder (including extra insulation to cut down on your power bill!) and even a few installed after closing. One storyliving makes everything easy and accessible for all in the home- but separation of living spaces and bedrooms offers more of that privacy that we like. Park the whole crew on the extended sized driveway and head in to the front of the home where the upgraded gas lantern guides your way. Once inside the home you will notice that the sellers spared no expense in making this the perfect retreat. Wide planked floors and upgraded trimwork run throughout most of the home including the master bedroom. This home features 3 bedrooms and an office and you see that the office to the left of the front door has upgraded glass french doors that set off the office space but also allow for privacy. At the front of the home is one of the 2 guest bedrooms- it is spacious and offers an ensuite bathroom with upgraded calcutta tile. There's no cultured marble builder grade in this home- each of the secondary bathrooms features high end calcutta gold countertops. Passing from the foyer you come to a family room that is open to the gourmet kitchen, dining area, and one of the best upgrades in the home- the sunroom. The kitchen is almost a work of art and is the jewel of the open floor plan. The sellers spared no expense by installing an oversized island, cabinetry with soft close features, custom tilework, calcutta gold countertops, gas cooktop, apron front farmhouse sink, high end faucets, a sleek stainless steel vent hood that vents to the outside, built in microwave- featuring convection capabilities, stainless steel oven and dishwasher. With plenty of room in the walk-in pantry, there is more than enough space to store all your stuff, but there is also a beverage center with additional beverage refrigerator, cabinetry, and wine storage. Take note of the upgraded lighting throughout the home. The sellers upgraded to additional canned lighting all throughout the home, and not only are there beautiful pendants above the island, but the dedicated dining space features a beautiful chandelier. High end ceiling fans installed throughout the home add a little pizzaz while making sure you are comfortable in the south carolina heat. The family room is spacious and invites a crowd, but the upgraded sunroom makes the space feel light and airy. This is the perfect layout because the windows that line the back of the home show off the beautiful lawn with mature vegetation. At the back of the home the hardwoods continue into the light filled - and oversized!- master suite. ADA compliant/larger doorway features a pocket door and leads into the generous bathroom. With a double vanity, there is plenty of room to spread out. The owners have installed a barrier free/accessible shower with 3 - standard, rainfall, and handheld- shower heads. There are professionally installed grab bars in teh shower for those that need assistance. There are also grab bars installed in the lavatory area. Rounding out the impressive master bedroom is a closet so big you could put an extra bed in it. At the front of the home is a 3 car garage- with extra 4 foot extension- with room for not only your cars, but also a great space for your golf cart. Entering the home from the garage takes you into the laundry room with more storage- the owners installed cabinetry and high end tilework. To the left of the laundry room and down a small hallway is a full bath and 3rd bedroom. One of the features of buying in Sea Island Preserve is the larger lot sizes and this home has the perfect one. Adding a screened porch at the back of the home lets you take advantage of the amazing South Carolina weather all year round. Off of the screened porch is an oversized grilling spot. The fenced yard is enormous and features mature vegetation that you don't see on other properties but adds to the privacy of the space. Sea Island Preserve is gated and has amazing amenities: Resort-style swimming pool with a splash and play area, open air pavilion, playground and large deck area overlooking one of the many water features and greenways. Half of the total acreage in the development is dedicated to parks and nature and feature walking and biking trails. Two pickleball courts are there for your enjoyment. Fiber network is available in the neighborhood and HOA fee includes internet and 175 TV channels! Johns Island offers easy access to beaches and golf (Kiawah is right around the corner- and so is the municipal golf course), dining of both the casual and fine dining varieties, and a casual laid back atmosphere.
