124 Baker Street

Want to escape the world to a place that time forgot but not willing to give up your modern conveniences and style in the process? ''Casa de Paz'' is an amazing harmony of contemporary style with fanciful old-world accents. In every room, a splash of uninhibited and vibrant charm adds character to the sleek and elegant minimalism. The home is set on a quiet lane in the heart of McClellanville's historic district and surrounded by ancient live oaks draped in their Spanish moss. The nearly one-acre lot is a short stroll to the downtown restaurants, shops, and galleries as well as the local seafood markets and public boat landing. Built in 2009 by local master craftsmen, this 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home is elevated above flood code with ample parking and storage below. A downstairsscreened area connects to the large upstairs screened front porch for tons of added living space. Entering through a bright blue door you are greeted by an open kitchen-dining-living room with tall lofted ceilings strewn with wooden beams and ceiling fans. The far wall is banked in built-in shelving and cabinets and at the end of the living room is a fireplace with handmade encaustic cement tile. Tall windows and French doors let in natural light while accent lights also brighten the open space. The kitchen features glass-front cabinets with under lighting and stainless appliances including an induction stove. Beyond the kitchen is a laundry room with a farmhouse sink, cabinet and counter space, folding racks, and enough room for an office desk. The rear of the home contains the three bedrooms. The master has a luxurious bathroom with a massive shower tiled in colorful Spanish tiles and even includes a bidet. Taking the place of closets, each bedroom is equipped with tall built-in cabinets running the full length of a wall with sleek frosted-glass sliding doors. The two remaining bedrooms share a jack and jill bathroom with shared dual vanity and private toilet and shower. A final half-bath is located at the end of the hall. It is really no wonder this home was selected to be featured in Charleston Magazine. It is an eccentric blend of architecture and design and that makes you feel like you have taken a trip around the world when you are finished touring it. It is a perfect compliment to its relaxed, rural setting in the town where everyone is unique.
