1001 plum lane

No need to plan a vacation...why would you ever want to leave home again if this luxury estate was yours? Exquisite architectural details and craftsmanship abound, starting with the custom designed wrought iron gates and expansive circular drive leading to this magnificent brick home. As if the grandeur of the elegant front entrance wasn't enough, you'll discover that it is matched by the incomparable backyard that features a water and fire paradise. Private, walled and gated with exceptional entertaining areas, this 4-level mansion with 3-car garage is situated on 2.48 idyllic acres complete with a babbling brook running through the back of the professionally landscaped property. Balancing grand formality and traditional details with comfortable living and whimsical recreational areas, it offers the best of both worlds to impress the most discriminating guests while delighting friends and family. Built in 2000 by Gary McAlister, and boasting nearly 10,000 square feet of living space, the home features 6+ bedrooms including the gorgeous master on the main with en suite featuring an oversized jacuzzi tub, granite shower and his and her vanities, teen suite on the second level, and a bedroom currently being utilized as a craft room; 4 full baths and 2 half baths; 2-story foyer with spectacular center staircase; 2-story great room (with gas fireplace) that leads to the enormous Trex balcony/deck that spans the entire length of the home; formal living room (currently used as a study); sun room with French sliders opening onto a covered porch overlooking the pool; formal dining room; gourmet kitchen; breakfast room with octagonal vaulted wood ceiling; butler's bar; mud room; 3 laundry areas (large laundry rooms on the main and 2nd levels, laundry closet on lower level) and an additional staircase leads to the 4th floor home media/screening room with built-in theater seating. From the main level, another stunning staircase leads down to the lower level which features separate living quarters with its own family room (with gas fireplace); 2nd kitchen; 2nd dining area; billiards room; game room; two additional flex rooms (currently used as a bedroom and storage room); storage area and lower level garage. The surprises don't end here. A 1000+ sq. ft. covered cement patio accessed through multiple sets of French doors on the lower level leads to a private and spectacular oasis created by Signature Pools and expert artisans. The unbelievable resort style pool rivals that of a 5-star hotel with its own boulder wall encasing a water slide, waterfalls, jets, spray fountains, LED lights, torches, and spa...all of which can be set into motion with the flick of a remote from inside the home while overlooking the fire and water show from the balcony. Ideal for the largest of gatherings, the Baja steps/tanning ledges with built-in umbrellas offer the perfect spot for relaxing in the water and the massive stone and tile pool deck accommodates areas for dining, sitting and lounging, a gas fire pit, wrought iron fence and an open-air poolside cabana complete with gas fireplace, TV, sound, gas grill, refrigerator, ice maker and granite serving counter. A full bath on the lower level of the home with its own separate entry provides the perfect changing area for pool guests. From top to bottom, no expense was spared in creating this entire estate. Everywhere you look, you'll notice the finest of materials were selected from Brazilian cherry hardwoods, high-end granite and stone to substantial crown and base mouldings, custom built-ins, and faux-suede finished ceilings. It has a security system (owned), central vacuum, irrigation system, Andersen doors and windows and designer touches galore. Minutes from the lake, a short drive away from Clemson University, and less than 30 minutes to Downtown Greenville, the luxury, enjoyment and value this home affords is unparalleled in the Upstate.
