About This Property

Some homes are built to follow trends. Others are created to capture a feeling. This custom-built residence was thoughtfully designed to reflect the charm, craftsmanship, and gracious living that first draw so many people to Charleston--and the reason it offers an elevated yet relaxed lifestyle where home, nature, and a true sense of place come together. The backdrop for this gem at Kiawah River Estates is Kiawah's Oak Point Golf Course. From the moment you step inside, authentic heart pine floors set a warm, welcoming tone, carrying the patina and character that only time can create. Architectural details throughout echo classic Charleston influence, adding depth and texture while giving the home a sense of permanence and quiet confidence. The interiors favorcomfort and livability over passing trends, creating spaces that feel collected and inviting rather than staged or sterile. The kitchen was intentionally designed with a service-oriented layout inspired by traditional Southern homesperfect for chefs and gracious entertaining alike. Stainless appliances, granite surfaces, and display cabinetry for treasured serving pieces balance beauty with function, while the home's thoughtful flow allows hosting to feel effortless and composed. Gathering comes naturally in the cozy living room centered around a hearth, while a sun-drenched sunroom with its own fireplace offers a peaceful retreat throughout the day. Opening seamlessly to the porch, this light-filled space invites morning coffee, afternoon reading, or evenings spent enjoying the breeze. A private dining room provides an elegant backdrop for life's celebrations and can easily serve as a quiet home office or study. The main-floor primary suite offers the ease of single-level living, complete with a spa-like ensuite designed for rest and renewal. Additional private guest suites allow family and friends to feel comfortable and at home while preserving privacy for all. Outdoors a thoughtfully planned and well-established landscape ensures something is always in bloom from early spring through late fall, with mature plantings providing year-round color and texture. Serene golf course views and active pond scenery create a calming backdrop, where birdsong and gentle movement in the landscape become part of everyday life. At ground level, a fully screened porch offers a favorite place to gather and entertain while staying connected to nature, complemented by flexible bonus space ready to adapt to your needswhether for hobbies, recreation, or creative pursuits. Located close to resort-style amenities, this home offers the rare balance of convenience, charm, and character.
