Description
Situated on a premier lakefront home site within the exclusive Frederica community, 106 Telford Lane masterfully blends Lowcountry charm with timeless elegance. Designed by acclaimed architect Tim Adams of TS Adams Studio and interior designer Douglas Herrin, this custom home offers a serene, sophisticated retreat inspired by its natural surroundings. This home was featured in the 2018 Southern Home January/February Issue and was a favorite on the recent Christ Church Tour of Homes.
Framed by mature oaks and overlooking expansive lake views to a nature preserve, the home is an architectural nod to the Lowcountry vernacular, featuring a wide front porch, dormer windows, "Old Chicago" brick with soft white mortar, and a roof of cedar shingles and copper. The result is a home that feels as if it's been part of the landscape for generations.
Inside, 12-foot ceilings, antique pine flooring, transom windows, and extensive millwork set the tone for relaxed coastal luxury. The open-concept layout is thoughtfully organized to promote flow while maintaining defined, functional spaces. From the entry's paneled walls and custom lighting to the grand stair hall, every detail is executed with purpose.
The living room features wood-paneled walls, wood-beamed ceilings, and a wood-burning fireplace, making it the heart of the home. Just beyond, a spacious dining room overlooks the lake and connects seamlessly to a gourmet kitchen outfitted with two islands, top-tier appliances, a walk-in pantry, refrigerator drawers, and a separate wine room with cypress paneling and climate-controlled storage.
A wall of folding glass doors extends the living space to a vaulted screened terrace featuring brick flooring, exposed beams, tabby fireplace, and adjacent grilling porch. This indoor-outdoor connection invites relaxed entertaining and quiet moments alike, with sweeping sunset views over the lake.
The primary suite occupies its own private wing on the main floor, with vaulted ceilings, custom paneling, remote window treatments, a spa-like bath, and an office nook overlooking the water. A private guest suite on the first level offers comfort and privacy for visitors, complete with triple-hung windows and a luxe ensuite bath.
Upstairs, four large guest suites provide stunning lake views and ensuite baths, while a spacious family/media room with wet bar creates a welcoming space for gatherings. Additional amenities include a scullery with coffee bar and extra refrigerator, upstairs laundry, formal and pool powder rooms, and a media/studio above the three-car garage.
Outdoors, the home's elevated lawn leads to a garden pool surrounded by the same "Old Chicago" brick as the main house. A fire pit, dock, and panoramic lake views complete the picture, offering a peaceful refuge immersed in nature. The outdoor space was featured in the 2023 Cassina Garden Club Tabby and Tillandsia Garden Walk.
