7 Templand, Elgin, SC 29045

Description

Some houses photograph well. This one lives well. Stone, a deep covered porch, and a bay window tower give it presence from the street, and the 3,585 square feet behind that facade deliver on the promise. Slate blue wainscoting and hardwood floors frame the formal dining room. Arched openings and crown molding carry you into the family room, where the gas fireplace earns its keep on a January evening. The kitchen was built for someone who actually cooks: espresso cabinetry, granite with room to spread out, a double wall oven for the holidays, a breakfast bar for four, a walk-in pantry, and a butler's pantry with wine rack on the path to the table. A flex room downstairs becomes whatever the week demands, whether office, studio, or reading room. Upstairs is the part people remember. The owner's suite is less a bedroom than a wing: tray ceiling, private sitting area, a separate reading nook, then a bath with granite double vanity, soaking tub, and a walk-in shower, and a closet that has to be walked to be believed. Two more bedrooms rise into vaulted ceilings, one with a built-in window bench and shelving. A second flex space handles movie nights, guests, or the home gym. Even the laundry room earned its keep, with cabinetry, folding station, and hanging rack. Out back, privacy fencing and a mature tree line draw the yard closed. Two car garage, $260 yearly HOA, and I-20, Fort Jackson, Shaw AFB, and Clemson Road all within easy reach.
