Tucked in on a quiet street beyond Kiawah Island's second gate, 166 Marsh Island Drive is a home with personality, character and an undeniable sense of fun. Its distinctive design unfolds through a collection of inviting spaces, giving the home a relaxed feel that suits island living beautifully. Hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light complement three bedrooms and three full baths, while a whimsical loft area adds an unexpected bonus -- a perfect hideaway for the young or simply the young at heart.Out back, a newly established lawn opens to a beautiful lagoon view, creating a wonderful setting for quiet mornings, outdoor gatherings and watching Kiawah's abundant wildlife. Open and enclosed outdoor spaces offer additional ways to enjoy the natural surroundingsthroughout the year. The location is equally appealing. Set within Kiawah's established Marsh Island neighborhood, in Vanderhorst Plantation, the home offers convenient access to the beach, The Sandcastle and Kiawah's extensive network of leisure trails. From morning bike rides and walks along the shore to afternoons spent kayaking the tidal creeks, this is an ideal starting point for experiencing the Kiawah lifestyle. Possible room to add a pool, requires ARB approval.
