Casual Elegance in the Lowcountry
Easy to live in, open, and elegant are three terms that come to mind when describing The Belle Reve, ACH Custom Home’s model contribution to Berkeley Hall’s Premier Builder Program. With its open concept, coastal living finishes and focus on blending indoor and outdoor spaces, this home is the epitome of Lowcountry living.
Situated among the swaying pines in a beautiful coastal setting, the Belle Reve exudes what designers would term a classically casual elegance. From the gracious entry to the expansive great room it feels stately and refined without being stuffy and overstated. This home is all about comfort with class and the details are what make it shine. European white oak flooring, offset by coffered white shiplap and whitewashed ceiling beams welcome visitors into the living area. The kitchen with its gorgeous tile-covered barrel ceiling andmetal light fixtures accentuates the modern interpretation of an open plan. These living spaces feel light and flow effortlessly–almost like a dream.
What makes this home really special is its grand-scale indoor-outdoor living setup. It starts with a spacious open floor plan that gives way, from multiple points, to a screened atrium housing a luxury spa, pool and outdoor seating. The outdoor living features like a fireplace, an all-seasons kitchen and a custom putting green are perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing and enjoying family.
“We always start with your inspiration and partner every step of the way to make it a reality,” explains Antoine Iskandar, builder/president of ACH Custom Homes. “Creating a comfortable sense of place is a defining facet of the Belle Reve.”
An award-winning builder of luxury custom homes, Antoine creates innovative interiors by partnering with the highest quality artisans. It’s this commitment to design excellence that distinguishes the Belle Reve, with its special blend of elegance coupled with the ease of Lowcountry architecture.
