Graced with views across the sun-dappled River Course, this outstanding Kiawah Island property in The Settlement features a formal fenced garden with roses, hydrangeas and camellias, woodland gardens and nature???s quintessential Lowcountry canopy ??? five beautiful live oaks.With its distinctive cedar shake siding, Vermont slate roof and impressive profile, this gorgeous residence looks as if it spread and grew organically across its lushly landscaped home site. If you are smitten with the exterior, wait until you see the interior of this wonderful 5,169 square-foot house. Expertly designed and constructed by a builder and interior designer as their permanent home, it???s no wonder this beautiful residence was chosen to delight and inspire readers of the Spring 2012 issue of Charleston Style & Design magazine. Structurally superb in every regard, it features the highest-end finishes, stone, hardware and architectural elements. Every room succeeds in setting its own mood, enhanced by fabric-lined walls, decorative glazes, extensive trim packages and painted wall finishes. Treasured touches are everywhere. The living room fireplace was custom made in Scotland. The fireplace in the master suite came from an antebellum home in Atlanta. The kitchen is a shining example of the modern beauty of metal surfaces and stainless, yet the adjacent dining room and chandeliered, fairytale bedrooms look like they have been magically transported from a 17th Century European palace. There???s even a den that captures the provenance of a hunting lodge in the English countryside. Magnolias dance across the walls in one room, botanicals define corners in another. The exquisite furnishings, 75% of which are available for the new owner???s delight, are high-end Swedish, French, and English designs. Even in an environment where everything is excellent, the pi??ce de r??sistance may very well be the baths. One creates a modern tile grotto; another features a stunning mirrored prism ceiling that embodies the grandeur and aesthetic of Versailles. Living in The Settlement, a close-knit neighborhood of mostly full-time residents, will afford plenty of occasions to share the beauty of your new home with new friends, as you make good use of your amazing wine cellar and cozy firepit in the back courtyard. A Kiawah Island Club Golf Membership is available.??
