519 Barbados Drive

Dual primary suites, a full guest house over a three-car garage, and .81 wooded acres backing 5.6 acres of protected open space -- custom-built inside gated Beresford Hall.This 2013 custom home by MSP Custom Homes, designed by DLB Design Studio, lives like a private estate without trying to. Deep Lowcountry porches -- screened and glassed-in -- wrap a 4,116-square-foot main residence with newly refinished American Cherry floors, 10-foot-plus ceilings, oversized windows, French doors, custom millwork and built-ins, and four fireplaces. Every room looks out into the trees.The kitchen is built to cook in: marble counters, an oversized island, double ovens, gas cooktop, paneled refrigerator, wet bar, and a walk-in pantry. Two primary suites -- one on the main level, one upstairs -- eacopen to a porch, with spa-inspired baths and walk-in closets, and every bedroom has its own private bath.

Above the three-car detached garage, a private 720-square-foot guest suite with full bath gives you a true second living space -- in-laws, long-stay guests, a studio, or a quiet office (4,836 square feet in all).

Built for the Lowcountry and made to last: sited on high ground, elevated roughly 8 to 12.5 feet, under a 60-year architectural shingle roof, with closed-cell spray-foam insulation and Simpson Strong-Tie hurricane strapping.

A fully fenced backyard keeps the outdoors private -- with a 16' x 32' saltwater pool already designed for the space (proposed concept; not an existing feature, subject to HOA approval and permitting). Beyond the gates, Beresford Hall offers a deep-water dock, boat ramp, zero-entry saltwater infinity pool, The Ruins, nature trails, parks, playgrounds, and a dog park.

Minutes to Daniel Island, Mount Pleasant, historic downtown Charleston, the airport, and the beaches. All on a street named for Richard Beresford -- the Barbadian planter whose 1706 land grant helped shape colonial Charleston.
