About This Home

Welcome to Sahalee, a lovely gated community of ten-acre estates that perfectly captures timeless Southern charm. Defined by classic columned entryways, elegant Palladian windows, and four-plank horse fencing, this property offers sophisticated living at its finest. Step inside to a grand foyer featuring soaring two-story ceilings and gleaming hardwood floors. To the left sits a spacious formal dining room detailed with lavish woodwork, while a cozy, wood-paneled library/office rests to the right. Directly ahead, the expansive living room serves as the heart of the home, showcasing built-in shelving, a warm fireplace, and dramatic two-story views, and leads to an inviting Sunroom. Designed for everyday living and entertaining, the open-concept kitchen features light cherry cabinetry, quartzite countertops, and newly updated sink fixtures. The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat, complete with a spa-like bath featuring heated floors and a tiled walk-in shower. Upstairs, you'll find a second primary suite, two additional bedrooms with a full bath, and a dedicated cedar closet. The fully finished basement adds exceptional living space, featuring a recreation room with a wet bar, a cozy TV area with a fireplace, two additional bedrooms, and a full bath. This home has been meticulously maintained with significant recent capital improvements, including three new Amana HVAC systems and two new 75-gallon water heaters added in 2026. A Vantage custom lighting system featuring two motorized chandeliers was installed in 2025, alongside additional high-end systems like a natural gas generator, an Aqua Chill purified water system, and an automated irrigation system. The outdoor space is a private paradise designed for relaxed luxury. Enjoy an inviting in-ground heated pool—complete with a fresh liner and new pump—and a poolside pavilion equipped with cable TV access. The expansive patio is built for outdoor entertaining, boasting a chef's kitchen outfitted with premium Fire Magic appliances. A side-entry three-car garage rounds out this exceptionally livable, turnkey estate.
