Located on a quiet cul-de-sac behind the second security gate, this elegant Sam Furr-designed home enjoys classic architecture, Charleston style, and unspoiled vistas within steps of the leisure trail that leads to Kiawah Island's ten-mile private beach. Its southern exposure takes full advantage of the winter sun and summer's prevailing breezes. The home's vine covered garden wall has an iron gate that opens to a shady courtyard filled with mature oaks, camellias, azaleas, ferns, and native songbirds. The brick path and stairway lead to the covered front porch with custom light fixtures and transom-topped mahogany door. Once inside, a soaring oval stairwell with a built-in upholstered window seat takes center stage. Lined with oversized windows, the stairway provides abundant natural light and tree top views. Dressed in stunning antique random width heart pine flooring throughout, the home features perfectly scaled trims and moldings, custom built-ins, large windows with plantation shutters, and a relaxed coastal color palette. Transom-topped doorways allow natural light to spill from one room to the next. The spacious living room features a honed slate-surround fireplace, soaring coffered ceilings, built-in bookcases and television cabinet, and French doors that open out to the expansive back piazza with stunning views of the 12th fairway of the Tom Fazio-designed Osprey Point golf course. The lower brick patio and fountain provide even more intimacy with the golf course views. Adjacent to the living room is a cozy library. It has custom shelving, built-in file cabinets and desk area, plus a very generous cedar closet. The gourmet kitchen features Italian Verdi limestone countertops, Dacor ovens, warming drawer, microwave and cooktop, and a large Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer.
