Sunsets here don't just happen, they perform, painting the Lowcountry sky in fiery hues that feel reserved exclusively for this elevated bluff on Lady's Island. This four-level waterfront sanctuary, cherished for 29 years by a single devoted owner who elevated every detail into a true Lowcountry legacy. Now, it awaits its next steward to continue the tradition of refined coastal elegance. Spanning approximately 5,500 square feet, this rare residence offers unmatched versatility and privacy, just minutes from the charm, dining, and boutique shopping of historic downtown Beaufort yet worlds away in serene, deepwater tranquility. The main living floor has soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, extensive custom millwork, and expansive porches that invite the water views inside. The updated gourmet kitchen, with sleek quartz countertops and premium appliances, anchors the home for intimate dinners or grand waterfront entertaining. Three spacious bedrooms, each with its own private ensuite bath, provide comfort and privacy. The primary suite is an oversized retreat overlooking the water. The standout flexibility comes from the extraordinary bookend levels. The fourth-floor loft serves as a private oasis, complete with a full bath, mini kitchen, and rear balcony offering sweeping views. Ideal as a luxurious guest suite, creative studio, quiet workspace, or personal getaway. The first level boasts a stunning, self-contained 900-square-foot apartment with its own full kitchen and bath and outdoor patio. Perfect for multigenerational living, an in-law suite, income potential, or private quarters for extended family or guests. An elevator ensures effortless access between all four levels. Outside, beautifully landscaped grounds and a charming garden lead directly to your private dock on Factory Creek, your gateway to boating, fishing, and the Intracoastal beyond. After nearly three decades of loving stewardship, 21 Waterside Drive stands ready as a meticulously maintained masterpiece.
