Karrington

The ultimate up-scale golf home. The views from the 3-story house to the rear golf-course are unparalled.

The first floor has an under-cover golf driveway to cart parking. A traditional Irish pub, and game room set the atmosphere for a old-world game of golf. On the opposing side of the downstairs is a spa complete with dry and steam saunas, massage area, soaking tub, and relaxing Family room.

The second floor houses the Master Suite, and formal entertaining areas. A spiral staircase leads from the Master Suite to the spa directly below. Overlooking the verandah, the open staircase and decorative elevator provide access to the upper and lower floors. Above the garage is a guest suite, and a separate artist?s studio.

The third floor completes the house with 3 bedroom suites, and the top-of-the-world Verandah. A large glass skylight provides natural ambient lighting to the central hallway.

Aggressive Charleston detailing includes heavy cast-concrete quoining on the lower level on all elevations, wrought iron entry gate with gas lighting, & carriage garage doors. The second level is detailed using tapered round Doric columns, 10-pane divided-lite doors, operable shutters, & decorative railings. The third floor adds the strength of paneled parapet walls, roof-mounted paneled newell posts, turned balusters, and intermediate roof overhang with ogee support brackets.
