632 Old Moreland Road is a four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath townhome in the heart of Palmetto Bluff’s Moreland Village. Enjoying sweeping views of a tranquil lake as it transitions into the inland waterway, its three stories take full advantage of the spectacular scenery along the water. Just a short walk away, the village proper offers waterfront dining and recreation at Cole’s on the banks of the May River, among many other amenities.

Built and designed by Brightwater Homes, the ingenious floorplan creates a spacious atmosphere across its 3,059 square feet, balancing airy open spaces and more tranquil hideaways gazing out toward the water. With a front entry that opens into a screened porch, the indoor and outdoor lifestyle of Palmetto Bluff is on brilliant display as soon as you step in.

Centered on a welcoming brick fireplace, the main living space incorporates dining and living beside a wall of windows that cast blissful natural light to all corners. Open to this space, the gourmet kitchen stretches a wide quartz center island before an eight-burner gas range and panel refrigerator. And throughout, elegant details from hardwood flooring to custom crown molding create a sense of refined yet comfortable sophistication. Complementing the main floor are a powder room, spacious pantry, elevator and owners’ entrance into the two-car garage.

The second floor houses a full laundry and three suites, one of which is the primary. The two secondary suites each enjoy a wide footprint with private baths and roomy closets, while the primary ups the ante with a generous sense of scale, walk-in closet, expansive ensuite bath and private covered porch with breathtaking elevated views of the water. A third floor opens to an airy loft with wet bar, beverage fridge and panoramic lake views, with a fourth guest suite nearby enjoying a private bath and walk-in closet.

Taking cues from the history of the land, Moreland somehow feels more rural and informal. Perhaps it is the distance from Wilson Village or its setting in an original field previously reserved for dove hunting, but Moreland architecture breaks from the more traditional interpretations of Lowcountry style and encourages a more contemporary vision. Engaging with the outdoors and nature is the Moreland lifestyle, and the architecture reflects this by blurring those lines between inside and out. Details include exposed rafter tails, lower sloped roofs, larger expanses of glass, cable handrails, steel windows and doors, and plenty of porches.
