Overlooking Tucker Lake on a tree-lined shore, this sprawling Italian-inspired estate feels worlds away from its 3.5 acres near Columbia, South Carolina. Artfully designed by award-winning Chris Rose Architects and built by Bennett Hofford Construction, the over 17,000 square-foot villa exudes the dramatic elegance of a European escape while incorporating modern luxuries at every turn. Transportive details, like the arched openings, carry through from the front porch to the spacious rear patio. All the windows are custom mahogany imported from Italy, as is the grand front door leading to the glamorous foyer lined with Italian marble and travertine. From there, discover the expansive main living level anchored by Brazilian cherry floors with ash inlay. The family, sitting, and living rooms flow together seamlessly with 12-foot coffered ceilings, archways, and stunning lakefront views. On the north end of the main floor, the SieMatic-designed kitchen features stainless steel countertops, custom soft-close cabinets, and a suite of Miele, Gaggenau, and Sub-Zero appliances to delight the most discerning of chefs. Seemingly endless storage options, a butler's pantry, an eat-in dining space, and a formal dining room complement the kitchen.
