78 Whisper Fade Road

Description

Situated on a large lot, prominently overlooking the 10th golf hole at the renowned Fazio-designed Wade Hampton Golf Club, this majestic home is surrounded by 1.2 acres of gently sloping yard and private gardens. Flanked by native stone detailing and clad with newly installed cedar shingles, the traditional mountain home has high ceilings and generously proportioned rooms. One is greeted by lovely gardens on both sides of the front entry, then "invited" into the home by the wainscoted, wallpapered Grand Hallway with sconce lighting. Opposite each other in the massive Great Room, giant stone fireplaces create the opportunity for two entertainment areas. New skylights have multiplied the light in this impressive space and were added when the cedar shake roof was replaced in the last few years. A large, newly updated Chef's Kitchen is around the corner, with its own Breakfast Room and the best Butler's Pantry imaginable! The Den, Primary Suite with multiple closets, stone fireplace and reading area, and three Guest Bedrooms are accessed from the sunlit Gallery. The Laundry, wine/Mudroom and Powder Room finish off the main level of the home The fifth Bedroom Suite is privately located upstairs at the other end of the gallery. There is a lovely screened Carolina Room with grill and fireplace near the kitchen and off the great room is a large covered stone terrace with mountain and golf views. The terrace level of the home offers a large Game Room, two bathrooms and a sleeping area for staff or overflow guests. This property was one of the early venues for the Joy Garden Tour, and the current owners have restored the gardens to their former glory, as well as adding many of their own touches around every turn.
