13 Ocean Course Dr, Johns Island, SC 29455

An ideal beach retreat for family under the golden sun, nothing lies between the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean and this residence but the world-renowned Ocean Course. Views of the ocean from the rear of the home, and sunsets over Ibis Pond and The Beach Club just to the west, are breathtaking, This 5,600-plus-square-foot residence is just a three-minute bicycle ride from Kiawah's pristine beach along golf fairways via boardwalk no. 42, and a four-minute bicycle ride from The Beach Club along picturesque ponds and tranquil creeks. Designed to invite the sun inside, this residence enjoys a bright and open floor plan where family living centers on the second floor. Here, a white-beamed ceiling vaults high above a living room with panoramic views of Ibis Pond, The Beach Club, Atlantic Ocean, and The Ocean Course's golf greens through endless walls of windows. (Golf aficionados, take note: this home boasts striking views of holes no. 12 and 13.) Glass doors open to the home's wide, wraparound second porch, and the home's signature Brazilian hardwoods stretch underfoot. Taking advantage of the abundant natural light and views is an open kitchen with seating at a large center island, custom cabinetry in rich wood, and granite countertops. It is generously equipped for entertainment with its five-burner cooktop, double ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine cooler, and butler's pantry with second Bosch dishwasher, sink, beverage refrigerator, ice maker, and two Sub-Zero refrigerator drawers. (The second-floor laundry is located just beyond the butler's pantry.) To one side lies a sunny dining room with a vaulted ceiling and two-story windows of its own, showcasing the ocean views. To the other, past a writing alcove set before nearly floor-to-ceiling windows, is an entertainment area with custom built-in shelving and gas fireplace. Take the side staircase or elevator to the home's top floor to find a grand primary suite with a vaulted ceiling, private balcony with breathtaking views in the open air, and two-story wall of glass overlooking the views. The primary bath here is reminiscent of a luxurious island hotel penthouse suite. Taking up more than half of the top floor, it features travertine tile floors, stone countertops, dual vanities, a dressing table set beside a curved wall of windows, an expansive walk-in shower with built-in bench lining two of its sides, and a walk-in closet with custom cabinetry and trio of skylights. Family and friends, meanwhile, will be wowed on the first floor by the home's sensational two-story foyer with its gorgeously designed linear staircase, two story-wall of windows, and sixteen-foot-high painting commissioned by renowned Charleston artist Linda Fantuzzo... and welcomed by the floor's coterie of guest quarters. On this level lies a junior primary suite whose luxurious bath enjoys a soaking tub set beneath a wide bay window and a beautifully done walk-in shower. Three additional guest bedrooms, three full baths, a first floor study, a kitchenette with sink and Sub-Zero refrigerator drawers, and the floor's own laundry room offer extra hospitality. A wealth of outdoor living opportunities also awaits in this residence, from the nearly half-acre of professionally landscaped and lighted land, saltwater pool with waterfall feature at the corner of an expansive pool deck (complete with outdoor shower and its own entrance to a full bath), covered front and back porches, the second-floor deck spanning the entire length of the home, and the third-floor private balcony of the primary suite... all with spectacularly panoramic views. Additional features of this home include a two-car garage with room for storage, an elevator from the garage to all floors, custom built closet systems, a new and separate climate system for the third floor, sound and security systems, and irrigation system.
