The spacious, turn-key home at 24 Bufflehead Drive sits on a tranquil Island lagoon just a five-minute, tree-shaded bicycle ride from Kiawah's pristine beach. Seeming to float above the treetops and the water, this home--designed by the award-winning coastal architects at Ocean 3 Design--is rich in outdoor living spaces, from an in-deck pool and sundeck to a screened porch with vaulted ceiling and two-story gas fireplace. Nestled into a landscape of sun-dappled palms, native trees, and a live oak, this easy country-style home of low-maintenance HardiePlank® welcomes family and friends with a curving drive offering extra parking for guests and a wide, covered front porch. Step inside the windowed front door to the foyer with its lovely white trim, wide-plank white oak hardwood flooring--extending throughout the main level and beyond--and eyebrow-arched opening to the gallery. Ahead, the living room with its gas fireplace and coffered ceiling invites you to sink into the pale blue sofas or step to the wall of nearly floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors showcasing the water views and leading to the home's rear covered porch and pool deck. Open to the living room is the home's stunning gourmet kitchen. The cabinetry is a clean, oh-so-light beige, the countertops are a beautifully grained pale granite, and the contrasting center island features a white farmhouse sink and breakfast bar. The appliances are stainless steel, including a six-burner gas cooktop with potfiller faucet, custom backsplash, and hood, the ceiling is of white shiplap, and there's a walk-in pantry and adjacent laundry room with additional sink, granite countertops, and ample cabinetry for extra storage. To the other side is the dining room, stunning with windows on three walls and a set of French doors opening to the airy screened porch with its fireplace, beckoning you to enjoy a cup of morning coffee or evening glasses of wine overlooking the water. Completing the main floor is the master suite. In the bedroom, plantation-shuttered windows and a glass door invite natural light inside from three sides, and the door provides private entry to the covered porch and sundeck. The master bath is cool and serene with his-and-hers sinks, a soaking tub set beneath sunny windows, an expansive frameless-glass walk-in rainshower with additional showerheads, and a large walk-in closet with built-in shelving. Take the sunny staircase or elevator to the second floor, where you'll find four ensuite guest bedrooms, one with a shiplap vaulted ceiling, media niche, and window wall showcasing the views, and another with his-and-hers sinks. Additional features of this fully furnished home located on Kiawah's private eastern side include a side-entry garage fitting two or more cars. A Kiawah Island Club Golf Membership may be available with the purchase of this property.
