A pair of majestic live oak trees flank the entrance to 8 Bird Patch Trail where a winding gravel drive leads to a sun filled courtyard in the center of the family compound. The east facing home is situated on the eighth hole of the Old Tabby Links golf course and includes the main residence, a separate two-bedroom guest house and a large two-car garage with a spacious single-bedroom suite above. Using post and beam construction with heavy timbers and distinctive fastening hardware, the architect created a dramatic great room with soaring ceilings in the one-story home. The main residence also includes a small sitting room overlooking the pool. Functional spaces encompass the kitchen and dining area, laundry and pantry, a small office, powder room, a paneled study, and a book lined hallway that leads to a spacious primary suite. Both the bedroom and bath are generously proportioned and his and her walk-in closets provide ample room for storage. A nearby, freestanding guest house with two bedrooms and baths and a living room provide comfortable accommodation for family and friends. Adjacent to the main house, the garage includes a well-designed one-bedroom suite on the second floor complete with a sitting area and a kitchenette. With its metal roof, wood siding and raised porches, this classic Lowcountry home is perfectly placed on 2. 74-acres, offering exceptional serenity and privacy.
