Designed by noted architect, Miles Gandy Whitfield, this elegant Palladian style home is a luxurious retreat in desirable I'On. The home's classical architecture and special setting make the most of indoor and outdoor spaces, offering supreme privacy with beautiful views to the terraced garden, the I'On Marsh Walk and adjacent Hobcaw Creek. Past the tree-lined wall and through the gate discover the home's terraced garden and stunning entrance featuring a bank of French doors topped with a columned portico. Bubbling fountains, mature trees, boxwoods and pebbled paths lead up steps to a light-filled grand entry which welcomes one into a ''jewelbox'' home of style and ease. (See More Comments)Here, generous proportions of 12' ceilings, transomed windows, arches and unique architectural elements set the stage for grand living within a modest footprint. The sophisticated living room features a custom limestone mantelpiece flanked by a striking triptych of mirrored panels which reflect the light from French doors into the garden. Additional details include custom bookshelves and antique French oak floors laid in a herringbone pattern. Steps away, a fabulous three-season porch enclosed in screened arches overlooking the Marsh Walk offers additional room for dining, entertaining and relaxing. In the gourmet kitchen, a pair of custom ""armoires"" conceal the Thermador refrigerator and storage. A large marble center island is ideal for entertaining and casual meals, and all cabinetry is undercounter, adding to the look and livability of this room. High end appliances include a six-burner Viking range, dishwasher and beverage refrigerator. Making use of every inch of space, a hidden corner pantry offers additional storage. Adjacent to the kitchen, the cozy library with ample shelving and French doors into the garden provides space for a home office or relaxation and television viewing. A media closet expertly conceals electronics and clutter. Additionally, this room connects to a full bath with shower, allowing for the possibility to use it as a bedroom. The guest room at the top of the stairs opens onto the airy second floor piazza featuring 14' ceilings overlooking the garden and woods beyond. Here, Whitfield maximized the space, creating a special nook for the bed. A shared hall bath has chic black and white marble tile work, arched shower and deep tub. Down the hall, Whitfield masterfully designed one of the home's most versatile rooms. At once a high alcove with floor-through views to the garden, this space can serve as an office or sitting room. Then, with the flip of a switch, privacy shades lower for sleeping in the Murphy Bed, cleverly tucked into a custom-designed wall cabinet. Here, the attic is accessed via an overhead door with an electric ladder. The intimate-yet-comfortable master bedroom opens on to the second floor piazza and enjoys a marble master bath with two vanities, a walk in shower and toilet closet. Practical elements of this suite include a stacked washer and dryer unit and his and hers furnished walk-in closet. The thick walls of this solid, low-maintenance home are constructed of stucco exterior applied over concrete brick. No detail has been spared, with high end finishes and fixtures throughout including Asselin windows and doors, waxed steel handrails, custom oak floors, marble baths and exceptionally detailed molding and trim. Conveniently located in the I'On neighborhood, this home is minutes from the shopping, dining and lifestyle amenities of Mt. Pleasant, and a short drive from Downtown Charleston and the nearby beaches. 67 Robert Mills Circle is a rare opportunity to own a truly exceptional home with premier architecture, construction and design.
