    What's special

    285 Governor's Drive is an inviting four-bedroom, four-bath home beyond the second security gate within Vanderhorst Plantation. This location affords its residents close proximity to Kiawah's amenities including the Osprey Point golf course, Marsh Island Park, and the Atlantic Ocean. This 3,180 square foot home is set back on a corner lot, tucked away privately within the foliage. The traditional architectural design features an impressive double brick staircase that leads to an inviting front porch with gas lanterns and glass-paned front door. The shingle exterior of the home blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings. Once inside, tasteful and sophisticated finishes are found throughout, including beautiful oak floors, extensive trim, crown molding, decorative columns, and expansive windows that welcome natural light. A formal dining room is adjacent to the entry foyer. Just beyond, the impeccably designed living room has high ceilings, a gas fireplace with granite surround and built-in displays, recessed lighting to provide ambiance, and glass French doors that open to the screened porch. 285 Governor's Drive truly embraces every aspect of outdoor living. An expansive screened porch with a traditional Lowcountry blue beadboard ceiling is large enough for both outdoor living and dining. The space is complete with a grilling deck. A substantial sundeck boasts a pool with a spa, and a convenient enclosed outdoor shower is perfect following a day on the beach. The elegant kitchen is immaculate, with premier stainless-steel appliances including a six burner Wolf® range and double oven, KitchenAid® refrigerator, and SubZero® freezer. The sleek design also features a farmhouse sink, large center island with seating, beautiful cabinetry with glass-front and full-paneled doors, and a quaint breakfast nook. The laundry room and an expansive butler's pantry with a wine cooler both offer additional storage. The luxurious owner's suite is located conveniently on the first floor, allowing for easy access to the screened porch via French doors. The large walk-in closet has custom organizers, and the spa-like bathroom has been outfitted with an expansive vanity with marble countertops, dual sinks, a large soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Upstairs, a central family room at the top of the stairs provides an additional space for lounging with family and friends. Doors open to a second-floor deck that overlooks the lagoon and Osprey Point golf course. Two guest bedrooms are located on each side of the den, both with a quaint reading nook, custom closet, and private bathroom. Additional highlights of 285 Governor's Drive, which is offered fully furnished, include: irrigation, sound, and security systems, a tankless water heater, elevator to all floors, and a large garage with three bays for cars, golf carts, bicycles, beach toys, and more. A Kiawah Island Club Social Membership is available with this property.
