Briar’s Creek Lake House

Under the nurturing shade of a centuries-old live oak at the edge of the lakefront, this extraordinary Johns Island cottage reveals itself as a masterpiece of architectural excellence and meticulous craftsmanship.

Nestled within the award-winning golf community of Briars Creek, this estate is a testament to the harmonious blend of nature and architectural ingenuity, with the sprawling 2+ acre parcel thoughtfully designed around the majestic presence of this ancient live oak.

Stepping inside, the main house is a showcase of open-concept living, with soaring vaulted ceiling, large celestial windows, and wide-plank white oak flooring. This design floods the space with natural light, creating an ambiance of timeless sophistication on the wooded lot. The living area boasts a gas fireplace with an elegant mantel and hearth, complemented by a chimney finished with a delicately textured limewash finish.

The chef’s kitchen, adorned with quartz countertops, bespoke cabinetry, and a generous center island, beckons for culinary exploration and gatherings with loved ones. Top-of-the-line appliances include a 48-inch Bertazzoni Italian Professional Gas Range, a paneled German Bloomberg dishwasher, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. With every detail carefully curated, this residence is a sanctuary of comfort and elegance.

Moving outdoors, the captivating live oak takes center stage, adorned with a tree swing and ripe for climbing. The screened porch, nestled beneath its graceful branches, offers an inviting space for relaxation, creating a tranquil haven for morning coffees or evening reprieves.

Beyond, the saltwater pool beckons, positioned just steps away from Lake Sharon, and integrates perfectly with the natural landscape. This remarkable estate isn’t just centered around the live oak; it pays homage to it, where the boundary between indoors and outdoors blurs, allowing residents to immerse themselves in the splendor of their surroundings.

It’s a living masterpiece that harmonizes nature and design in perfect unison.
