Glorious John’s Island home is architectural masterpiece

BY SAMANTHA ROHLFING BAITA
Staff Writer

Homes, like people, have their own
character, a distinctive presence, if
you will: So it is with the renovated
home at 100 Paget Court in John’s
Island, a lovely structure with a Zen-
like, blood pressure-lowering tran-
quility in which you’ll want to linger.

The 2006 renovation took the
structure down to its bones and
transformed it into an architectural
masterwork, the result of creative
collaboration between owners Bill
and Teresa Winslow; Scott Layne of
Moulton Layne Architects; and Toby
Hill of the Hill Group, builder.

The home sits in a peaceful loca-
tion. “It’s comfortable and quiet here,”
Bill Winslow says. “There’s no ‘drive-
by’ traffic. Everyone who drives here
lives here.”

Teresa Winslow adds that, during
the extensive renovation – two years
in the planning, one in construction
– they utilized feng shui concepts:
The spaces are open, light-filled and
uncluttered. The shimmering pool,

bubbling fountains and well-con- molding, beautifully defined against
ceived landscaping add calming sen- the warmth of burnished mahoga-
sory elements. ny walls and walnut flooring, flows

ceilings; and the gentle architectural
curves, which inform windows, arch-
ways and walls.

Off the foyer is a high-ceilinged
powder room with custom cabinetry
and a dramatic oculus, and a walnut-
paneled wet bar. Next comes the fine
living room with a white coffered ceil-
ing and coral-stone fireplace. Glass
doors open the room up and offer
soothing views of the pool courtyard.

Accessed through wide archways
that flank the fireplace is the home’s
most dynamic space, a grand ex-
panse beneath a tongue-in-groove
paneled cathedral ceiling with bold
exposed beams. When light catches it
a certain way, the satiny white ceiling
reflects the blue of the pool.

Bill Winslow recalls that Toby
Hill labored so diligently to apply
the paint with perfection that they
began calling it the “Sistine Cha-
pel.” In this wide space are housed
the kitchen, dining room and sitting
room, where family and guests are
sure to gravitate for relaxation, con-
versation and meals.

The Winslows wanted “an unclut-
tered kitchen that doesn’t look like
a kitchen.” The attractive “woven”
design on the cherry cabinet fronts
eliminates the need for door pulls.
This sleek cabinetry subtly conceals
virtually all “kitchen” accoutrements:
SubZero fridge, two-drawer dish-
washer, warming drawer and other
appliances; and an elegant, stand-
alone armoire deigned by Teresa
Winslow and Scott Layne opens to
reveal a surprisingly spacious pantry.

One fun and practical special fea-
ture is a pull-out cup-storage drawer,
with moveable pegs for easy access
and optimal use of space. The broad
island, with a one-piece Calcutta
marble top, accommodates a break-
fast bar, sink, storage and recycling/
trash pull-out bins.

The adjacent butler’s pantry hous-
es washer, dryer, sink, desk area and
storage space. It’s lighted by a wall-
to-wall bank of windows and access-
es the side garden and the two-bay
garage.
