Nestled in the woods in rural Blythewood, SC, this home perfectly suits its owners’ needs for a Southern lifestyle that supports their love for horses. The open-concept living/kitchen area has magnificent vaulted ceilings covered with stained tongue and groove wood that extends out to the vaulted ceiling over the front porch, as well. But because the room doesn’t feel too dark because the windows on the 1st and 2nd story level flood the space with natural light. The twin 3-story tall stacked stone fireplaces on the front porch and in the great room are the center of attention and add a glorious, rustic feel to the space. Above the gourmet kitchen with rustic wood ceiling beams, there’s a spacious loft overlooking the living space. And the white Shaker kitchen cabinets, white backsplash, and large eat-in kitchen island are a home chef’s dream. The garage is absolutely huge with space for quite a few vehicles and the high-lift garage doors are a sight to behold as they just lift almost straight up with the 2-story high ceilings. The garage doors don’t have windows but because the garage is 2 stories tall, the 2nd story windows bring lots of light and airiness into the space. A primary suite with plantation shutters and sconce lights on each side of the bed brings lots of Southern charm and the bathroom boasts a luxurious sculpted soaking tub, Fantasy Blue marble countertops, and a very oversized shower with two shower heads and a mosaic tile accented floor and niche.
