Designed by acclaimed architect Wayne Windham, the coastal bungalow at 577 Oyster Rake is nestled on a peaceful, shaded homesite within easy bicycling distance to Kiawah's pristine beach and the boutiques of Freshfields Village via beautifully landscaped walking paths. A perfect primary or second home, its open floor plan features expansive floor-to-ceiling windows inviting leaf-dappled sunlight inside--but the delights of this home start with its beachy curb appeal. A wide front porch, second-floor balcony, carriage-style garage door, and metal roof combine to enchant guests. A gorgeous set of windowed entry doors with transoms leads to a large, high-ceilinged foyer with lovely wide trim and hardwood floors. To the left is a sitting room filled with natural light from two walls of windows and glass doors opening to the front porch, and straight ahead is a spacious great room. Airy and light, the living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace and opens to a gourmet kitchen with a breakfast bar. The stainless-steel appliances include a gas cooktop, the Shaker-style cabinetry is clean and bright, and a sink is set into the granite countertop of the center island. Two windows frame views of the treetops, and windowed display cabinets showcase favorite dishes or glassware. The dining room is the showpiece of this home. Surrounded by windows and glass doors on three sides, with the fourth side open to the kitchen, it offers direct access to the home's large screened porch in addition to lush green views. On the other side of the screened porch lies the master suite, tucked away for privacy. The master bedroom, with tall windows on three sides, feels as if it's floating in the treetops, and the bath offers an enormous frameless-glass shower with high windows, rain showerhead, and beautiful tilework as well as his-and-hers sinks and a walk-in closet. A light-filled first-floor guest suite offers individual access to the front porch via wide glass doors and its own large, frameless-glass walk-in shower. Upstairs are two additional airy guest suites; the front bedroom comes with its own second-story balcony. Additional features of this exquisite, recently built home include a two-plus car garage, low-maintenance cement fiber siding, irrigation system, and tankless water heater.
