This luxury five bedroom cottage with five full and two half baths features contemporary design, understated stucco exteriors, and a copper roof. Situated on .66-acres in the heart of Kiawah, this fully furnished home with guest house overlooks a lagoon and holes 4 and 5 on The River Course. Its central East Beach Village location means easy access to the beach, championship golf and tennis, The Sanctuary Hotel, fitness, dining, shopping, and more. Grand oaks and large pines create a neighborhood canopy, while the community pool, bordered by a water feature and olive trees, offers a peaceful retreat in the center of the community.
Indoors, tasteful design elements such as arched doorways, exposed beam ceilings, and handsome Ipe mahogany flooring lend a classic sophistication to the interiors.
Clad in hand-painted plaster with stone flooring reflecting Kiawah's natural landscape, the lower level sitting room opens onto the covered patio, which is surrounded by a European-style walled garden and overlooks The River Course. An outdoor shower, sound system, grill, and refrigerator on this lower level add convenience for outdoor entertaining.
The main level enjoys an efficient, open floor plan that connects the living room, kitchen, dining and outdoor living with ample space to move about and relax. The living room features a coffered ceiling, arched central beam detail, wall-to-wall windows, and direct access to the screened porch and golf vistas.
The bright kitchen is anchored by a turned-leg center island with counter seating and granite countertops and features a butler's pantry and suite of stainless appliances including a Wolf® range and Sub-Zero® refrigerator. A pair of French doors open onto the rear deck for convenient entertaining.
The primary suite, located on the main floor, has a large walk-in closet with custom drawer storage and a bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, and zero-entry shower. Three guest rooms are located on the top floor, each with a private ensuite bath and ample closet space.
The inviting guest house features an additional bedroom and bath with a private balcony, sitting room, and a full kitchen with waterfall walnut countertops, breakfast bar, and wine cooler.
Additionally, this home has a sizeable garage that accommodates up to three cars.
A Kiawah Island Club Membership is available with this property.
