The great room, sunroom, and open dining area are anchored by fireplaces and walls of windows, with French doors leading to wraparound screened porches and rear terraces perfect for entertaining or enjoying quiet moments immersed in nature. The fully renovated kitchen blends style and function, featuring quartzite countertops, a large center island with prep sink, Sub-Zero refrigeration, Wolf cooktop, Viking double ovens, a wine cooler, under-counter microwave, and charming plantation-shuttered window seats. The main-floor primary suite is a private retreat, with windows on three sides, a fireplace, a writing nook, and glass doors opening to a rear deck overlooking the marsh. The spa-inspired bath includes a freestanding cast-iron soaking tub, frameless walk-in shower with dual showerheads and bench, and double sinks set into a white shiplap vanity. Upstairs, additional primary and guest suites feature private balconies, sweeping marsh views, fireplaces, and spa-quality baths. A hidden two-bedroom guest apartment tucked beneath dormered ceilings offers vaulted spaces and a private deck overlooking tidal creeks and treetops. Outdoors, every level of the home offers covered porches or balconies. The estate is enhanced with a new paving-stone driveway, metal roof accents, native landscaping, a side-entry garage, irrigation system, dual Navien tankless water heaters, and a whole-house Cummins generator, all designed for effortless, low-maintenance island living. Steps away, the island's tidal creeks offer exceptional saltwater fishing, with flounder, speckled trout, black drum, redfish, and an abundance of other native species moving through the marsh. While the setting feels remote, the residence is within walking distance of Kiawah Island's Beach Club and boardwalks 39 and 40, hole 1 of Tom Fazio's Osprey Point golf course, Egret Pond fishing dock, and Cinder Creek paddle sports launch. Nearby, the Blue Heron Pond Observation Tower and local dining at Cherrywood BBQ provide additional leisure options. A Kiawah Island Club (Sports) membership is available with purchase, completing the full spectrum of refined island living. This estate offers more than a home, it delivers a lifestyle where natural beauty, architectural excellence, and the leisure and culture of Kiawah Island converge.
