320 Hugh Lane Pauline, SC 29374

“Grace and Space” describes this beautiful RETREAT in Pauline with over 22 ACRES of hardwood trees, open pasture, and walking trails. Custom built by Len Reed in 1998, the original homeowners have thoughtfully planned the overall function of the OPEN LIVING SPACE with a central gathering great room, coffered beam ceiling of native Eastern red cedar, wood-burning stone fireplace with gas starter and indigenous cedar mantle, and spectacular chef’s kitchen/dining area. Equipped with stainless Thermador appliances in the KITCHEN, the cook can enjoy a large side-by-side double oven/cooktop/grill on the scalloped-edged granite island with the assistance of a built-in microwave oven, warming drawer, wine cooler, compactor, and Miele coffee maker. Nearby on the main level is a handsome LIBRARY/OFFICE and a private MEDIA ROOM/REC ROOM for everyone’s enjoyment with a custom corner wet bar with pecan countertop, copper sink, and a harvested walnut snack bar along the wall. On the right side of the house is a guest powder room and the MASTER BEDROOM SUITE with a panoramic view of the scenic rear yard. The master bath includes a large block wall shower, jetted tub, and separate water closet, enhanced by double vanities which are surfaced with black walnut countertops and custom light fixtures. Yet another elegant feature is the CEDAR-LINED MASTER CLOSET which is separated into his/her areas ~ ideal for easy living. Along the hallway are two secondary bedrooms with a jack-n-jill bath with common tub/shower and separate vanities on either side. A second-level BONUS/FLEX SPACE completes the house with ample room for children’s play, exercise, crafts, office, etc. with an adjoining half bath. Temperature-tolerant storage with foam insulation awaits in the WALK-UP ATTIC with abundant floored space for easy access to out-of-season clothing, holiday decorations, and miscellaneous items. Beyond the house itself lies the magic of the estate with an OUTDOOR PATIO/WATER FEATURE/STONE FIREPLACE which appeared as the cover article in Spartanburg Magazine, along with a robust flower garden and large separate fenced area for pets. Words fail when describing this spectacular exterior terrace ~ not only does this space showcase the beauty of Mother Nature to be enjoyed by friends and family, it also offers an ‘audio and visual’ experience of being out-of-doors with its intimate fireplace, cascading water feature, and the owner’s beloved flower garden. The overall 22 acres includes nearly 5 acres of pasture for horses, walking trails around the property, full irrigation in the zoysia yard/garden, and a mountain-like lifestyle of casual elegance.
