Cassique and its Clubhouse beside the 9th and 18th greens of Tom Watson's links course. Its name is that of the Kiawah Chief who, in 1670, led the English colonists to safe harbor in what would become Charlestown. The graceful Clubhouse, a two minute walk from home, takes its aesthetic origins from the English country houses of 1890-1920. They are among many British antecedents in Carolina's lowcountry where its farmlands by the sea were ruled by English Kings for more than 100 years. Today, Tom Watson, with five Opens to his credit, and Tom Colicchio, the famed Master Chef, are among the stars providing daily evidence to Club Members of their unique gifts to sport and cuisine. This luminous, white stucco home first appears in the distance as if Lutyens has designed a jewel reminiscent of his country houses. Evergreen cedars and pines rise above the flowers and shrubs that line a winding drive to the home's charming entry. The Vestibule of wood, slate, York stone, limestone walls, and stucco all frame a large entry door with a craftsman's circle of antique glass lights. Cassique's stylish Garden Cottages assure life here is always a visual treat. The Master Bedroom is accented with antique French-oak flooring and beamed ceilings. The Suite's fine proportions are complemented by seasonal garden views. And Henselstone doors open onto a private patio, perfect for coffee and the morning papers. His and Her Bathrooms add a 'civilized' perk to the Master Suite. Both are marble-appointed with tall, clerestory windows, marble showers, and vanities. Hers adds a Waterworks tub with soothing whirlpool jets. Just down the hall is a Second Bedroom with an adjoining bathroom. It makes a large, sunny bedroom or possible home office-as would either of the two additional bedrooms above the garage. Open and light-filled, the home's promise from its stone entry hall onward is a mix of convenience, proportion, and styling. The Reading Nook off the kitchen offers a comfortable space to relax and converse with the chef. Custom built-ins, shiplap detailing, and bay windows make this an inviting place to unwind. The chenille-covered walls of this elegant Library enclose a versatile space that can either (with pull-out couch) serve as temporary guest quarters or full-time fifth bedroom with fireplace. A full bath and closet for this potential fifth bedroom suite adjoin this space. The Living Area, with 17-foot ceilings, large fireplace, and 19th-century South Carolina mantle, is arranged for family comfort, conversation, and convenience to dining, the kitchen, patio, and pool areas. Wide oak floors and ceilings accent the casual comfort of this spacious room. Complete with the highest quality amenities, the Kitchen offers a Wolf six-burner gas range with griddle, Wolf ovens, Sub Zero 48'' side-by-side refrigerator, a Sub Zero wine cooler and ice maker, two Sub Zero refrigeration drawers, and a Bosch dishwasher. Electrical outlets along the island add convenience. A large pantry completes the package. As beautiful as it is functional, this serious gourmand's kitchen leaves no culinary wish unfulfilled. It features oak floors, coffered ceiling, custom cabinetry, polished granite counters, subway tiling, and lots of accessible storage. The maple island invites friends and family to gather often. From entrance hall to infinity pool and spa, there's an easy, informal flow for every day living or parties. Things have been thought through for efficiency and refined charm. Still, nothing seems too considered. More than 30 oversized solid doors were handcrafted by a master carpenter sent to Scotland to detail the Lutyens-designed doors in his renowned 'Grey Walls' House (now a boutique hotel) by Muirfield's famous links. The heated Infinity Pool and Spa are always ready and always private. They are beside a covered porch, grilling area, and working fireplace for cool Fall and Winter nights. At 4,131 square feet o
