Selected as Coastal Living magazine's 2005 Cottage Retreat, this fabulous Cassique home with separate cottage/guest suite is nestled within Cassique--among Kiawah Island's most private Club communities. Professionally decorated by Jackie Lanham, the home's understated, elegant esthetic offers supreme comfort. The private Cassique Clubhouse is your gateway to all of Kiawah Island's world-class amenities, including championship golf, Tom Colicchio-inspired dining, social club rooms, and the Golf shop. The nearby Sports Pavilion features a family-oriented pool complex, four clay tennis courts, a squash court, and aerobics studio, and state-of-the-art fitness center for health and recreation. Inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, the home's open floor plan focuses around a central courtyard with soothing lap pool that serves as an outdoor sanctuary that can be enjoyed year-round. Complete with comfortable seating, limestone columns and pilasters, shaded loggia with copper lanterns, water features, raised brick garden, and shimmering glass tiled pool, the open-air patio space offers a wonderful flow for entertaining. The home's front doors spill inside to a spacious loggia that was inspired by Charleston's signature single houses, the entry space is airy and welcoming. Luxurious, yet relaxed interiors are indicative of the English style and feature tongue and groove poplar boards, vaulted beamed ceilings, textured stucco walls, and French limestone flooring. The great room with towering 14-foot beamed ceilings and cast limestone fireplace is surrounded by 10-foot painted Henselstone windows and French doors that open out to the courtyard and pool. The professional grade kitchen--both beautiful and functional--features 10-foot ceilings, painted inset cabinetry with recessed panels, satin nickel pulls, honed granite counters, top-tier Viking stainless steel appliances, and an antique tailor's table that serves as the center island. Floor-to-ceiling seeded glass sliding pocket doors offer a beautiful focal point that can be effortlessly used to sequester the kitchen. The luxurious master suite offers 10-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and private access out to the courtyard. The light-filled bedroom offers ample space for a sitting area, a generously sized walk-in closet, and a luxurious private bath with marble-topped dual vanities, shiplap wainscoting, high-set clerestory windows, marble walk-in shower with bench, and Waterworks soaking tub set on river rocks. Two additional bedroom suites--including a private guest suite with decorative roundel window overlooking the courtyard--offer privacy and space, mulled windows, large closets, and marble-appointed baths with hand planed, distressed cherry vanities. Offered furnished, additional features of the beautiful home include a spacious finished first floor laundry room with custom cabinetry and work space, two-car garage that is temperature controlled and dehumidified, additional private guest parking (unique to this property), exterior sloping buttresses, Henselstone windows, and copper guttering.
