2947 Old Tavern Court

Gracious Southern Living style home on a large 0.82 acre lot nestled in the intimate, friendly, and private enclave of Mt. Pleasant homes known as Yough Hall. Situated off of Porchers Bluff Rd, Yough Hall could be Mt. Pleasant's best kept secret and homes rarely come on the market. Within walking or biking distance to award-winning schools, restaurants, shopping, and more. Area beaches are only about 15 minutes away, while downtown Charleston and the Charleston International Airport are each less than a 30 minute drive. This home was designed by renowned Lowcountry home designer, J Hilton Googe, recognized for his award-winning residential plans. You will appreciate the beauty, as well as the brains, of this rare home. The beauty is easy to spot, and the''brains'' will create a sense of security for your family, with a whole-house generator and surge protection, along with a CPI security system. The lovely landscaping and welcoming front porch overlooking the neighborhood pond provide a beautiful first view of this elevated Lowcountry home. Step inside the foyer to see the sweeping staircase and view towards the living area and beyond to the screened porch and beautifully landscaped backyard. On the main level of the home, you will find the formal dining room, spacious kitchen, large laundry/utility room, breakfast area, living area, half bath and Master Suite. Beautiful Australian Cypress hardwood floors flow throughout the first floor spaces. The formal Dining Room showcases a tray ceiling and chair rail, along with a view of the neighborhood pond from the front windows, and is the perfect spot for sharing memorable meals with family and friends. From the Dining Room, step towards the Kitchen with it's center island, 5-burner gas cooktop with downdraft venting, wall oven & microwave, stainless steel french-door style refrigerator, granite countertops, tiled backsplash, and expanses of rich wood cabinetry. Tucked just off of the kitchen is the large laundry/utility room with front-loading washer & dryer, a second french-door refrigerator, and additional cabinetry. The breakfast area's bay windows overlook the grilling deck. Picture yourself enjoying special holidays or relaxing evenings around the fireplace with gas logs and floor-to-ceiling bookcases in your generously sized Living Room. French doors lead from the Living Room to the large screened porch overlooking the lush and private backyard. You'll feel like you're inside a treehouse when you enter the Master Suite, surrounded by views of the many trees just outside the windows. The Master Bath has a soaking tub, separate tiled shower, vanity with dual sinks and plenty of counter and cabinet space, and a separate water closet. His and hers closets with custom California Closet systems provide ample, well-appointed storage. Upstairs, you'll find 3 additional bedrooms, one with an ensuite bath and the other two with a Jack & Jill bath between them. Storage abounds, including multiple walk-in areas under the eaves accessed via the upstairs bedrooms. On the ground level of this elevated home, you will find plenty of space to park cars, your boat and golf cart, and still have room left for a workshop and additional storage. There are even speakers in the garage so that you can enjoy your music while you're tinkering with your toys. Just off the garage towards the backyard is a downstairs patio complete with an additional seating/grilling area and a relaxing new hot tub (seats 6, with bluetooth stereo, lights, and even a waterfall). The fenced, professionally landscaped backyard was built for entertaining. High-end paver patio and walkways offer space for plenty of outdoor furnishings, and stone walls along the back raised planting area provide additional seating for large gatherings. Landscape lighting provides a dramatic look while the sun is painting the sky as it sets behind the home.
