Blending sophistication with classic warmth, this standout home offers luxury-level finishes throughout. Craftsman-inspired details--from 8-foot solid doors and etched glass accents to transom windows and a dramatic 4-foot staircase--bring both structure and character, while rich wood tones add an inviting sense of warmth. Encased in luxurious, mature landscaping, the property is graced by stately trees and expansive golf course views, creating a setting that feels both private and timeless. The majestic open floorplan is defined by an uplifting skylight, coffered and tray ceilings and the art of nature's views in abundance. Details of master craftsmanship are seen in the woodworking around the fireplace, solid doors, windows, window seats and kitchen. Overstated craftsman windows are like a warm blanket, wrapping you in nature in every view. For even more living and entertaining, access a porch outfitted with Eisenglass and beaded ceilings. The kitchen blends effortlessly, with continuity of luxury finishes and appliances, and allows engagement with the open living. A beautiful 9' butler's pantry, outfitted in cherry wood hides an equally large hidden panty. Beyond, enter a sitting area that is flexible for use as your lifestyle desires, where morning sunshine welcomes you to the day. Through a heron etched doorway, an entire wing of the main level is dedicated to the owner's suite. Think elegant walk-in closets, custom cabinets, double sinks, marble spa-like bathroom, bayed wall of windows and access to the outdoor porch through the bedroom. Secluded, private and elegant. Upstairs, another flexible room, two suites - each with their own bath, more storage and an appealing laundry room complete with pull down clothes bars and sink, make this a treat. The accessibility by elevator is the icing on the cake. The 4' wide oak stairs and architectural details will find you loving to take the stairs. Do not miss the video. Throughout the house the efficiency and amount of storage will surprise you. Heading to the ground level: this a garage that keeps on giving. With the central area and a 400-foot office/flex bonus climatized by two mini-split units. You can live in this garage! For cars, golf cart, toys, and more, the large doors are there to accommodate. The elevator will whisk you up to all floors. Outdoors, grill on your covered deck as you watch the putting skills of others on the 6th green on Kiawah Island's Oak Point Golf Course or just watch nature in action. Have coffee on the front porch in amazement of the morning light rising through your maritime forest, catch a glimpse of Haulover Creek at high tide, or take a stroll across the street to the entrance of Kiawah River Estate's Dockside Park to cast a line, launch a kayak, or just celebrate stellar sunrises and sunsets. Every bell and whistle was put into this work of art by the builder. A long list is available. You will never feel claustrophobic in this gorgeous masterpiece, and your connection to nature consistent. Kiawah River Estates is a community of full-time residents with no short-term rentals outside the gates of Kiawah, close to Freshfields Market, and as little as 30 minutes to Charleston.
