An elegant exterior alludes to the stately beauty inside 25 Bufflehead Drive, a five- bedroom, five-and-a-half bath private home overlooking Kiawah Island's placid lagoon waters and lush landscaping with Lowcountry greenery and palmetto and oak trees. With brick and wood accents, a multi-level staircase leads to a quaint front porch.
Those looking to meld outdoor activities with the easygoing luxury of a private island home will love this property's thoughtful layout: inside living areas are adjacent to a spacious deck, screened porch, and private pool to maximize indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The property is also a short walk to the beach, providing oceanfront respite and tranquility.
Al fresco allure aside, the estate's tasteful, traditional interiors, filled with natural light, create a comfortable retreat to simply stay inside. Sit by the fireplace in the living room, which features handsome paneling, hardwood floors, and crown molding, or craft a meal to remember in the fully equipped kitchen, featuring a large island and double ovens. A dedicated laundry room and separate home office are practical additions to an otherwise open floor plan. Hardwood floors and soft interior colors throughout tie the main floor together.
Located on the first floor, the master bedroom features custom closets and a tiled bath with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and picturesque views.
Upstairs, four additional guest suites, each with private baths, complete the home. A well-equipped bunk room is ideal for kids and kids at heart.
Additional features of this home include a two bay garage with carriage house garage doors, an elevator, a freshly painted exterior in crisp gray and white, and a brand-new HVAC system to ensure ideal temperatures throughout the year.
Those who love the links will find another bonus in this home with a Kiawah Island Club Golf Membership available, providing access to 36 holes of championship golf, five-star dining, and endless opportunities to create lifelong memories and friendships.
