Description
In the lovely enclave of the Old Village, where history is etched into every corner, a new standard of residential luxury has quietly emerged. Designed by the visionary Phil Clark and built as a personal residence for a renowned local builder in 2020, this beautiful estate is a rare architectural feat: a sprawling, contemporary compound that feels as though it has always belonged to the historic fabric of the neighborhood. Tucked away behind an automated gate, you'll find the main residence which spans an impressive 5,375 square feet and the 621 square foot finished pool house. Totaling 7 bedrooms and 8 and a half bathrooms, both spaces are a brilliant exercise in intentional design. The floor plan breathes with an airy, open-concept flow, illuminated by curated Visual Comfort lightingthat casts a soft, gallery-like glow across the interiors. At the heart of the home, the kitchen serves as a culinary haven. A magnificent Provence Blue La Cornue range sits beneath a bespoke brick hood, flanked by an oversized island, two dishwashers, and a suite of Dacor appliances--including a warming drawer for the consummate host. For those who value the art of the morning ritual, the butler's pantry is more than a utility space; featuring a Miele built-in espresso machine, a dedicated wine fridge, refrigerator and freezer drawers, a third dishwasher, a sink, and more storage. It is a functional and sophisticated transition between the kitchen and the home's grand entertaining spaces.
The property offers seven bedrooms across three distinct living spaces - the main residence, the private pool house, and the apartment above the garage. The first floor primary suite, a true retreat, is tucked off the back of the home and offers a level of seclusion rarely found in Old Mount Pleasant. The primary bedroom is large and light-filled, with a stunning bathroom showcasing an oversized walk-in shower with 5 shower heads and beautiful tile work, his-and-hers sinks, and a footed tub. The expansive walk-in closet features ample storage spaces - both hidden and exposed! Before entering the primary suite, there is a lovely bonus space offering an additional option for an office, workout space, a nursery, or a sitting room.
Upstairs, the attention to detail remains just as refined. Each of the four additional bedrooms serves as a private suite, with custom tile work in the bathrooms and elevated fixtures that transform everyday living into an experience of sophisticated comfort. Architectural "Easter eggs" are tucked throughout the home--clever storage nooks and a versatile attic room that offers extra storage or a whimsical escape for children.
While the interiors are a triumph of design, the true gravity of this home lies in its exterior. Anchored by a massive, heated saltwater pool, the grounds feature one of the largest backyards in the area. Adjacent sits a 620-square-foot custom pool house, a fully realized one-bedroom residence that provides a luxurious "home within a home" for guests.
The property also offers a three-car garage and room to park at least 10 cars plus a boat and golf cart, a rare luxury in the Old Village. Above the garage, a sun-drenched apartment--complete with its own entrance, full kitchen, and living area--offers the ultimate flexibility for a private studio, au pair quarters, or a long-term guest retreat. The home and pool house both feature whole-home Sonos sound systems and automatic blinds, and the pool is equipped with an automated safety pool cover.
Life in the Old Village is like stepping back in time. Children ride their bikes to and from the award-winning public elementary and middle schools, go crabbing and fishing from the Pitt St Bridge, and grab ice creams on house accounts at the infamous Pharmacy after class. Morning jogs to Sullivan's Island, riding your golf cart to dinner, and watching the sunset over the harbor from the dog and play parks are just a glimpse into life in this magical little nook of Mount Pleasant. You're also just six miles to downtown Charleston, and 15 miles to the Charleston International Airport. The location of this home could not be more convenient.
922 McCants Drive isn't merely a house; it is a legacy estate for the discerning buyer who refuses to choose between the charm of a historic zip code and the uncompromising precision of a modern custom build. This home is the definitive portrait of the "New South".
