Overview
Welcome to a life beautifully lived in the heart of St. James Plantation. 3859 Fairhaven Drive — known as Southern Ways — is a Jack Satterwhite design originally showcased in the 2018 Parade of Homes. Offering over 3,000 square feet, 4 bedrooms, and 3.5 baths, this home blends timeless sophistication with effortless coastal comfort. Designed for both gracious entertaining and quiet retreat, the gourmet kitchen features quartz countertops and island, Bosch appliances, a Thermador gas cooktop, and a generous walk-in pantry. It opens seamlessly to a warm, fireplace-centered great room and elegant dining space — perfect for hosting friends, holidays, or intimate evenings at home. Multiple porches, including two screened retreats, invite morning coffee, afternoon reading, and relaxed evenings surrounded by coastal breezes.

Upstairs, a versatile lounge and private guest suite with screened porch create a welcoming haven for visiting family and friends — or a peaceful space of your own. Set on a beautifully landscaped nearly half-acre lot adorned with mature hollies and vibrant crepe myrtles, the setting feels both private and refined.
