Licensed STR! Sprawling coastal retreat on nearly 5 private acres with an ADU, workshop and room for horses and chickens! This elegant estate is tucked behind a lush layer of grand oaks and native palmettos just minutes from the beaches of Kiawah Island and the world class shopping and dining of historic Downtown Charleston! The wide and welcoming front porch will graciously welcome you home each day and be your chosen venue for coffee in the mornings and sunsets in the evenings. Though built in the modern era, you might be fooled by the high ceilings, extensive moldings, solid wood french doors and reclaimed wide plank heart pine floors, usually found in historic homes. Modern upgrades like stainless steel appliances, en suite baths for every bedroom, frameless glass shower enclosuresdesigner lighting and plumbing fixtures and trex composite decking harmonize with quality materials and traditional details for a simple yet sophisticated feel. With over 3000 square feet on 3 levels, the main house features a bedroom and full bath on the first level accompanied by a large, bright dining area open to the living room, anchored by a large stately fireplace flanked by handsome floor to ceiling built-ins. In between the dining and living areas is the bright farmhouse style kitchen with rustic brick flooring, open shelving, bright white pantry cabinets with rollout drawers, stainless steel appliances, butcher block counters and gourmet gas range with stainless hood vent. The cozy lounge is tucked away in the back of the home and features slate floors, elegant built-in bookshelves and a cozy fireplace. With double doors that open to the back deck and a mount for your tv already in place, this will quickly become everyone's favorite gathering space. Before heading upstairs, stop into the downstairs guest suite just off the foyer with private access to the front porch and a large ADA approved bathroom with walk in/roll in tiled shower. Ascend the wide staircase to the second level to find the large primary suite with the home's third fireplace and a large ensuite bath with dual vanity, huge frameless glass marble shower and a bright adjacent space waiting to become the closet of your dreams! An antique clawfoot tub provides views of the grounds and yet another place to relax and enjoy flora and fauna. Two more bedrooms occupy the second floor along with the home's laundry room and a second story covered porch off one of the bedrooms. The third flood is home to a large bonus room, perfect for a kid's playroom, media room or home office. A large walk in attic completes this level. The property also features an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) separate from the main house and fully self sufficient with a full bathroom, kitchenette, mini split, stacked washer/dryer and a huge front porch. A second driveway exists and could be dedicated access for the ADU, which is currently rented month to month. The third structure next to the ADU would be great for conditioned storage or a workshop as it is connected to power and water/septic. Lastly, just beyond the flower and vegetable garden is an RV hookup, should you need even more space for short or long term guests! An engineered septic system and drain field were recently installed and the crawlspace has been fully encapsulated. With almost 5 acres of privacy and gorgeous southern vistas, this personal sanctuary will whisk you away from the world the moment you turn in, but world class beaches, shopping and dining await just minutes away when the mood strikes!
