As you leave Flyway Drive and proceed toward 160 Ocean Palms Court, prepare to be thoroughly romanced. The setting for the premier new seaside neighborhood of Ocean Palms, built on a prime piece of beachfront property held in reserve for decades, is as alluring as a suitor clutching a single red rose. Are you still on the shores of South Carolina, or have you been magically transported to an Old World European retreat where love and romance walk hand-in-hand under the Mediterranean moon? Give yourself over to the sun-bathed stucco streetscapes and breezy loggias of Ocean Palms, and let the fantasy begin. Terraced rooflines help give the brand new home at 160 Ocean Palms Court its irresistibly engaging demeanor. Beautiful as well as functional, deep eaves serve as architectural awnings, shading a copious array of windows from the rays of the noonday sun. The stone floor and shapely columns of the elaborately roofed entryway draw you into the home's cool sanctuary of peace and relaxation. As you step through the arched wooden door into the tiled foyer, you're greeted by a museum-quality spiral staircase that sets the architectural tone for the spaces beyond. Solid wood doors and thick crown molding and baseboards elevate opulence throughout the home. Stylish touches from the Mediterranean shores of Europe abound in every room, beginning with the Cerdomus Italian tile that anchors and defines the main living areas. The kitchen, dining room and living room form one contiguous space, visually connected by a coffered wood-beamed ceiling. Whether you're relaxing, cooking or dining, the positioning of the massive stone fireplace adds the romance of a warm and flickering fire. Four sets of French doors open onto the pool deck, so you're never far from the ocean view and the inimitable sights and sounds of the seaside environment.

Or step over to the dining table when a more elaborate brunch is on the day's menu of events. With a walk-in pantry and huge double Subzero cabinet front fridge with four freezer drawers, you could stay away from the grocer's for so long that the cashiers could well forget your name.Every other convenience you need for entertaining several dozen of your closest friends is steps away.
