Privately set back from the street and down a meandering drive, 100 Flyway Drive is a beachfront estate that pairs beautifully-manicured grounds and gardens with lush native greenery and coastal dunes, creating an ocean oasis just steps from the Atlantic. Views of the water's edge and horizon can be seen from nearly every room of the 5,577-square foot home, as well as from its tiers of porches and outdoor living spaces. Built in mid-90's, the home is in impeccable condition and has undergone renovations throughout the years, most recently to the inviting new exterior entrance with an updated driveway, a brick paved walkway, and a redesigned staircase. The HardiShake® exterior and shingle roof embody the timeless appeal of a classic beach home and enhance its architectural design and features. Inside, the home's reversed three-story layout places top priority on unspoiled views of the beach and ocean expanses, maximizing exposure, access, and enjoyment at every opportunity. The first level was designed with guests' comfort in mind. Large picture windows in the den frame ocean and pool views, and doors that open to the rear porch offer seamless indoor-outdoor living. Hardwood floors extend from the den to three guest bedrooms that include their own private en suite bathrooms, beautifully decorated with luxury finishes. These guest quarters offer total privacy and sanctuary for visitors, plus one spacious bedroom opens to the back deck. Here, visiting family and friends can enjoy sunrise with coffee or take in the ocean breezes over evening cocktails. A light-filled grand staircase leads upstairs to the formal living room, where a classic arched entryway gives way to tall ceilings and thick crown molding, hardwood floors, and custom cabinetry. Though it's the never-ending Atlantic Ocean views through wall-to-wall windows and clerestory that are the main focal point. A side porch overlooks the Atlantic, allowing family and guests to enjoy the sweet sounds and scents of the beach. A two-sided mantle fireplace is at the center of this open floor plan, fitting perfectly into the large great room and essentially splitting it in half. One side is the more formal sitting space; the other, a comfortable dining area. The fireplace provides gorgeous detailing, as well as warmth and ambiance in both areas. The impressive chef's kitchen is conveniently adjacent to the dining room. It features all the bells and whistles needed for a fun and functional kitchen, including two Subzero® refrigerators/freezers, double ovens plus a warming oven, and a large center island complete with a prep sink, cooktop, and bar seating. In this kitchen, furniture-style cabinetry with fluted pillars and molding details, granite countertops, and glass-front cabinets convey classic traditional style. To relax the mood to better fit this beachfront home, the cabinetry was painted a light cream color, adding a bright coastal influence. A side porch just off the kitchen offers an ideal grilling area. A comfortable main floor guest suite has its own sitting area, multiple walk-in closets, and a luxurious bathroom with a granite vanity, his-and-hers sinks, and a large shower with decorative tile. Sliding glass doors open to the porch and allow cool ocean breezes into the room. Encompassing the entire top level of the home, the estate's jaw-dropping master suite was designed to ensure homeowners have a space where they can retreat and enjoy the views. A refined sitting room with linen cabinets is a relaxing welcome to the suite and includes a cozy vaulted-ceiling reading nook that overlooks the pool and beach. The bedroom is filled with natural light, enhanced by tall ceilings and hardwood floors. From here, sliding glass doors open to reveal panoramic sand and surf views from the private deck. A luxurious spa-like bathroom is inviting with warm materials and finishes, a custom tile shower, and garden bathtub. As in any perfect beach house, the outdoor living spaces rival that of the interior. Multiple levels of porches are ideally positioned to take advantage of the coastal setting, and a covered porch on the first floor leads to an expanded sundeck with plenty of space for an outdoor dining area, as well as sunbathing around the pool and spa. Just steps away, a private boardwalk with an outdoor shower leads to the ocean and has a sundeck, great for morning coffee. New mechanical systems were added in 2016 including new heating and air, a central vacuum system, irrigation and landscape lighting, and a new security system. The garage was updated with a dehumidified storage and work room - an excellent place to store beach toys, bicycles, fishing equipment, and more. With the Atlantic Ocean and beach just steps away, and a Golf Membership to the exclusive Kiawah Island Club available, 100 Flyway Drive is ideally positioned to appreciate and relish in the very best of everything Kiawah Island offers.
