Description

Deepwater dream home with dock and boat lift just a few minutes above Breach Inlet! Floor to ceiling windows show off expansive marsh views all the way to Mount Pleasant! It's the best of both worlds to get phenomenal boating access while living just 3 blocks from the Isle of Palms beachfront! This home's modern coastal style is one of its best features. In the den, a beach wood mantle above the wood burning fireplace complements the weathered tongue and groove ceiling (note the dry bar with built in wine cooler and the oversized sliding door leading to the screened porch overlooking the marsh). The gourmet kitchen features floor to ceiling cabinets, Thermador fridge, quartzite counter tops, Thermadoor gas stove with double oven, and a scullery for appliances to keep this kitchen lookingpristine. Note the vaulted tongue and groove ceiling in the dining area which boasts more of those floor to ceiling windows. Step out onto the screened porch which is large enough for a sitting area and also a dining table for entertaining. You'll find a boater's paradise with power/water access on this private dock with covered pier head and lift which can handle a 24,000 lb boat with a beam of 16 ft (note the decking is Ipe). A huge finished off area on the home's ground floor is perfect for entertaining and is not reflected in the square footage. Back on the main floor, the luxurious owner's retreat offers a sitting area with floor to ceiling windows and access to the screened porch. The owner's bath boasts a steam shower, separate soaking tub, 2 water closets for privacy, and an enviable walk in closet with built in storage. An additional bedroom downstairs has a private full bath, and the laundry room will impress with its custom built drying racks, laundry basket pull outs, and cabinetry for folding clothes and storing necessities. (Note the elevator which services the first floor.) Upstairs, you'll find 2 additional bedrooms (each with a fully upgraded private bath), an office, an additional flex space which would make a fantastic play room or media center, plus a half bath conveniently located in the hall. This home showcases all the latest trends in home design: a pivot front door, Ipe decking, metal roof, paver driveway, and ship lap throughout the kitchen and living areas for a bright and coastal look. Almost the entire rear of the home's first floor is glass to take advantage of these spectacular views!
