39 Eugenia Ave, Kiawah Island, SC 29455

The oceanfront domicile at 39 Eugenia Avenue enjoys 115 feet directly on Kiawah's pristine beach and the vast Atlantic Ocean, with phenomenal ocean views from every rear-facing window, a second-story terrace, two balconies, a private boardwalk, and a pool set beside a manicured rear lawn. A gorgeous example of Architect Allan Greenberg's historically influenced facades, intricate classical details, and exceptional level of skill, this 7,300-plus-square-foot manse offers first-floor living for owners and a wealth of indoor and outdoor hospitality for family and guests. Outside, there's the pool with a cover and a wide, pale-hued stone deck--both recently redone--and a pool house complete with a windowed half bath, outdoor shower, storage room for beach gear, and summer kitchen with prep sink and lockable mini fridge. There's also ample seating, an outdoor grill, and an outdoor dining table for enjoying meals amidst the salt air and sound of the surf. To the front of this beautifully landscaped half-acre property is a circular drive with ample extra parking space, both covered and uncovered. Twin staircases of stone lead up to a columned front porch and double front door flanked by lanterns and topped by a large fanlight. Open the doors and a spectacular two-story foyer greets you, a gracefully curving, iron-balustraded staircase rising to a round ceiling of pale blue anchored by a multi-level chandelier. Through an arched opening ahead lies a large, high-ceilinged great room with beams of dark wood reminiscent of rich Italian living. Set after set of glass doors graced by large fanlights and custom shutters line the rear wall, showcasing sweeping views of the ocean waters. A substantial gas fireplace anchors a gracious living room; to the other side a long dining table easily offers comfortably upholstered seating for eight. Through the dining area's double doors lies a generously sized kitchen and breakfast room overlooking an endless sea horizon. Equipped to please any chef, the kitchen features a six-burner Thermador cooktop with double ovens and built-in butcher block, custom hood, and tile backsplash; twin full-sized Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer; dual Thermador dishwashers; and in an adjacent nook, a Kitchen Aid microwave and Dacor warming drawer. Also made to delight is the single basin undermount sink set beneath a sunny window, a center island with prep sink and breakfast bar seating, a secondary center island supplying extra counter space and storage, a sunlit homework area, a TV niche, and additional butler's pantry complete with Sub-Zero wine cooler, walk-in pantry, and a dumbwaiter to effortlessly whisk groceries from the garage to kitchen. The breakfast room enchants with a large Palladian window, centerpiece chandelier, its own glass doors opening to the rear lawn, and mudroom wall for easy stowage of beach gear. A windowed butler's pantry lies across a hallway from the dining room, providing a prep sink of hammered stainless steel, elegantly built-in wine racks, and glass-fronted cabinetry. Follow the same hallway, complete with windowed half bath, to the handsomely designed niche at its end to find the manse's entertainment room. A table set beneath twin windows offers a cozy spot for games and a seating area with imminently comfortable space for five faces a large flat-screen television. The first floor's opposite hallway, meanwhile, leads to a wing taken up entirely by a high-ceilinged first-floor primary suite. A handsome study divides the suite: to the rear, enjoying its own private ocean views and entrance to the rear lawn, lies the primary bedroom. Tall windows and glass doors grace three of its walls, including the centerpiece of the room: a wide Palladian window complete with a large fanlight, twin sidelights, and wide crown molding. The suite's bath stretches along the manse's outer wall, offering dual sinks flanked by twin vanities and a walk-in shower tiled in calm hues of sea glass, featuring a handheld shower head and built-in bench. To the other side of the study lies the primary suite's double walk-in closets, complete with crystal chandeliers, floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry, an immense dressing mirror, and a dressing niche. Beyond that is a private laundry room with sunny windows, raised front-loading washer and dryer, plentiful counter space and cabinetry, and stainless-steel undermount sink. Upstairs, the residence's symmetrical wings contain the remaining four-bedroom suites. A graceful upstairs foyer opens to a gallery of glass doors opening to a wide, stone-floored second-story terrace with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. The east wing contains the second-floor primary suite and a children's bunk room to enchant any child, with beds for five, a fairytale roof-topped archway between the upper bunks, and an under-the-sea bath with a large walk-in shower in hues of the sea. It also opens to the primary suite's bath, with a soaking tub, a walk-in shower of pale stone tile, and dual sinks and linen closets. The bedroom is spectacular with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, tall windows, and glass doors on three sides, a custom built-in wardrobe, and an entrance to both the second-story terrace and a private balcony overlooking the waves. The west wing offers a fresh, light-hued library and sitting area with a striking dual barrel-vaulted ceiling and two guest suites, each spacious bedroom with tall windows on multiple sides and large walk-in showers in the baths. The rear-facing guest bedroom also features a private balcony, unmatched views of the Atlantic, and its own entrance to the second-story terrace. Adding to the hospitality of the second floor, accessible via the grand staircase or the home's elevator, are a beautifully designed kitchenette with a hammered stainless-steel sink and a spacious laundry room with twin windows, undermount sink, plentiful Shaker-style cabinetry, and raised front-loading washer and dryer.
