Beyond the Typical Waterfront Home

Some homes are defined by their architecture. Others by their location.

At 4145 Colonel Vanderhorst Circle, it is the combination of setting, scale, and thoughtful planning that sets the property apart.

Positioned on more than 1.2 acres within Dunes West, this waterfront residence was designed to accommodate a variety of lifestyles without sacrificing comfort or functionality. Spanning more than 11,200 square feet across three levels, the home balances expansive gathering spaces with private retreats, creating an environment that feels equally suited for entertaining, working from home, hosting extended family, or simply enjoying everyday life on the water.

Throughout the residence, large windows frame views of the surrounding landscape, reinforcing the connection between the home and its setting. Whether indoors or outside, the water remains a constant presence.

A Beautiful Setting

Water has always been one of the Lowcountry’s defining features, and this property embraces it from nearly every angle.

Situated along a deepwater stretch within Dunes West, the home enjoys expansive views and direct access to the waterways that connect to Charleston Harbor beyond. The changing light across the water brings a different perspective throughout the day, while the surrounding landscape creates a sense of openness that is increasingly difficult to find.

The private dock extends that relationship with the water even further, offering convenient access for boating, fishing, and exploring the Lowcountry by water.

Despite the property’s scale, the setting remains remarkably peaceful. It is a home that feels connected to its surroundings rather than separate from them.

Designed for Modern Living

What distinguishes this residence is not simply its size, but how effectively that space has been organized.

The floor plan transitions naturally between formal and informal living areas, creating a home that functions comfortably whether occupied by two people or twenty. Large gathering spaces encourage connection, while quieter rooms throughout the home provide opportunities for privacy and focus.

The main-level primary suite contributes to the home’s livability, offering convenience without compromising separation from guest accommodations and secondary living areas.

Across all three floors, the design reflects an understanding that today’s homes often serve multiple purposes at once. Family life, entertaining, work, recreation, and relaxation all coexist here without competing for space.

Spaces for Gathering

The scale of the residence allows for a variety of experiences under one roof.

Formal entertaining areas are balanced by comfortable everyday living spaces, creating a home that adapts naturally to different occasions. Whether hosting a holiday gathering, welcoming extended family for a long weekend, or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home, the layout feels intuitive and comfortable.

Five bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and two half baths are thoughtfully distributed throughout the residence, creating flexibility for both owners and guests.

The home’s generous proportions never feel excessive. Instead, they provide options—an increasingly valuable quality in contemporary residential design.
