Perfectly located on the gentle rise of a beautiful property that overlooks the most expansive part of Lake Blackshear sits "Black Pines". It is one of the finest homes on the lake and has been designed with astute attention to every design detail. Its style is that of a Georgia River House with a panoramic view of the lake. Tall, symmetrically placed windows throughout the living area provide great natural light and spectacular water vistas. This grand southern home was originally designed and built by the current owners as a home for retirement and therefore offers the best in luxury as well as practicality. The main level has 10' ceilings with distinctive crown moldings and 8" baseboards. The upper level has 9-foot ceilings, also with detailed crown moldings and baseboards. The flooring in the foyer, great room and kitchen/dining area and the large foyer on upper level is random width pine finished with a rich, dark walnut stain. All bedrooms are carpeted in top quality Berber carpet. Cabinets throughout are designed and built by ACMI, Inc. (cabinetmaker for The Cloister, Sea Island, GA). The large butcher-block island in the kitchen/great room and standing bar/liquor cabinet were also constructed by ACMI. The home has 7'10" doors and windows on main floor. In addition to 5 full bathrooms there are two half baths, one located off the foyer on the main level and the other one one the lake level.
The property is meticulously landscaped and sodden with Meyer zoysia grass. All driveways and parking pads are made of concrete. There are 2 Rinnai systems furnishing hot water to the house. There is an automatic watering/sprinkler system, burglar alarm and smoke detector; Isonene insulation is used in all walls, ceiling and attic, AC/heat is supplied by 2 heat pumps; buried 350 gallon propane tank supplies propane gas for outside grill, cook top, and fire place; all telephone lines and wires are underground and a concrete seawall protects 200' of lakeside property.
The property has a large Frigidaire washer and dryer in laundry/storage room plus a stacked Maytag washer/dryer in closet in master bathroom. Other appliances include: 2 GE monogram refrigerators, Themador double ovens, Fisher/Paykel gas cook top, GE compactor, GE downdraft fan, FP double drawer dishwasher and disposal & hot water dispenser.
Located on the lakeside of the main floor, which is serviced by both a wood paneled elevator and three staircases, is a private master bedroom suite. There is a custom built bathroom with separate enclosed his/hers toilets, his/hers lavatories, and a separate whirlpool and glassed-in shower. The adjacent walk-in closet is quite large and has separated his/her shoe storage, hanging rods, vanity table and a bench with two drawers.
