in 1984 and then formed AGM to import stone in 1996. Boshaw said his Bluffton clients had specific tastes and wanted a formal dining room in the rear of the four-bedroom, four-and-ahalf bathroom home. The interior craftsmanship created a distinct Lowcountry feel with contemporary touches here and there. The home took about a year to build and was completed last spring. It proved challenging to Court Atkins because it sits on a .44-acre, pie-shaped lot with a wide front that narrows to the rear. It occupies a prime location at “The Pointe,” an enclave of highly desirable lots on a peninsula.
The clients requested a threecar garage on one side of the home, which proved to be an unworkable design. Instead, the home features a two-car attached garage with a third detached garage that has a covered breezeway to the home and resembles a carriage house. Boshaw also addressed the office/study, which provides direct access to the breezeway, and allows personal work space for the semi-retired executive. “In the study, we vaulted the ceiling and put V-Groove wood on it and faux beams to create volume and interest in the space,” said Boshaw, who moved to the Low-
country in 2005 with his family. Faux beams also stretch across the 12-foot-high ceilings in the great room, which is anchored by an arresting coffered ceiling whose style appears again in the kitchen. The kitchen countertops, which paces easily to a walk-in pantry with a prep-station and wine area, showcase durable white Macaubas quartzite. “My dad has been in the stone business for over 35 years,” said Antunes, who also serves as the purchaser of stone for AGM that sells granite, marble, travertine, limestone, soapstone and onyx. “We directly import from quarries all over the world.” LL
