1311 Place De Julian, Florence, SC 29501

Nestled within the exclusive Lazar Place subdivision, this luxury Doulaveris built estate unfolds like a story of timeless craftsmanship and elegant living. Beyond the circular drive and the glow of oversized gas lanterns, ten foot arched double iron doors open to a grand entrance meant to impress. The moment you step inside, the foyer sets the tone with polished patterned marble floors, paneled walls, an exquisite curved staircase, and a chandelier suspended beneath a softly lit dome. The home’s thoughtful design reveals itself room by room—each space layered with upgraded designer lighting, honed and chiseled marble flooring, oak hardwoods, and an integrated in-ceiling 8-zone speaker system that quietly elevates everyday living. The great room, with its coffered ceiling and custom antique mirrored built-ins, becomes the heart of the home, anchored by a double-sided gas fireplace shared with the nearby flex room—an ideal billiards room, home office, or keeping room. Just steps away, the full bar is perfectly appointed for hospitality, featuring extensive cabinetry, a bar sink, and a commercial-grade Hoshizaki ice maker. The kitchen is a true showpiece, soaring with cathedral ceilings and drenched in natural light. Antique mirrored cabinetry, wrought-iron balcony railings above, a built-in stone-topped round dining table with curved banquette, appliance garages, deep storage drawers, and a large walk-in pantry complete the space. The chef’s suite of appliances—Wolf 48” dual fuel gas range with double oven, 24" griddle, and 4 burners, the Bosch dishwasher, 48" Subzero refrigerator, stainless apron sink, microwave drawer, and warming drawer—make the kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. French doors open to an expansive screened porch, creating an effortless flow for entertaining. The formal living room offers a refined retreat with its cast stone mantle and gas log fireplace, while the formal dining room frames a stunning view of the curved staircase. Tucked privately on the main level, the owner’s suite is a sanctuary of luxury, its double-tray vaulted ceiling washed with soft accent lighting. A cozy sitting area with windows overlooking the pool, while built-ins add both charm and utility. The spa-inspired bath is extraordinary: an oversized marble-tiled shower with rain head, jets, and handheld sprayer, a copper freestanding slipper tub, double vanities, and a private water closet. The boutique closet feels more like a dressing room, complete with a window seat, abundant drawers, generous hanging space, shoe shelving, and a spacious marble topped island with hidden ironing drawer. The oversized laundry and mud room offers a laundry chute, individual locker system, storage galore, a laundry sink, built-in washer/dryer, additional refrigerator, and an LG Styler steam closet. With a full bath and exterior access, it’s perfectly positioned for pool days. Upstairs, each bedroom enjoys its own private full bath with honed marble flooring & showers. Paneled hallways, soft wall sconces, and open railings overlook the kitchen and foyer below. Two generous bonus rooms, both with closets and near a convenient half bath, offer endless possibilities—from gaming to crafting to fitness. Outdoor living feels like stepping into a private resort. The oversized screened porch with silver travertine flooring opens to a 40ft saltwater pool (new Heyward salt system-Spring 2025) featuring travertine deck, coping and waterline. The pool cabana elevates entertaining with its grilling station, bar overhang, gas fireplace with cast stone mantle, sitting area, vaulted ceiling, vented copper cupola, and a storage room for pool accessories. The driveway courtyard includes an oversized concrete pad and is secured by automatic double iron drive gates. Sophisticated, inviting, and meticulously crafted, 1313 Place De Julian is more than a home—it is a life beautifully designed. Listing agent is owner. Owner is SC licensed real estate agent.
