thoughtfully designed to embrace both the landscape and the water. Oversized gathering spaces open through a dramatic bifold glass wall system to the spacious screened porch, where cable railing preserves unobstructed views and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Natural light, coastal breezes, and water views become part of the experience of the home itself.
Timeless Lowcountry architecture blends with warm, layered interiors and exceptional attention to detail throughout. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the main living area, while seven-inch French White Oak flooring, reclaimed pine upstairs, custom millwork, and carefully selected finishes create a home that feels elevated, inviting, and effortlessly livable.
The kitchen is both striking and highly functional, designed to anchor the home's indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, while the flexible floor plan comfortably accommodates guests, recreation, remote work, and multigenerational living.
With more than 6,000 square feet under roof, including the fully enclosed drive-under level, the property delivers an extraordinary level of functionality rarely associated with waterfront homes. Vehicles, boats, golf carts, a workshop, fitness space, recreational equipment, and extensive storage are all accommodated with ease.
Private. Peaceful. Exceptional.
