Licensed STR! Sprawling coastal retreat on nearly 5 private acres with ADU and detached catering kitchen! 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 graciously will be your chosen venue for coffee in the mornings and sunsets in the evenings. Though built in the modern era, you may think otherwise when you see the high ceilings, solid wood french doors and reclaimed wide plank heart pine floors. Modern upgrades like stainless steel appliances, en suite baths for every bedroom, frameless glass shower enclosures, designer lighting and plumbing fixtures and composite decking blend withtraditional details providing functionality and sophistication. With over 3000 square feet on 3 levels, the spacious main house features a bedroom and full bath on the main level accompanied by a large dining area open to the living room, anchored by a large stately fireplace and 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 and tile backsplash. 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 lead to the back deck and a mount for the tv already over the mantle, 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 handicap accessible bathroom with zero entry 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 just waiting to become the closet of your dreams! A whimsical clawfoot tub offers views of the grounds and yet another place to relax and enjoy the grounds. Two more bedrooms occupy the second floor along with the home's laundry room and access to a second story covered porch. The third flood is home to a large bonus room, perfect for a kid's playroom, media room, home office or 5th bedroom. A large walk in attic completes this level and provides easily accessible storage space. The ADU (accessory dwelling unit) is separate from the main house and is equipped with a full bathroom, kitchenette, mini split, stacked washer/dryer and a huge porch with composite decking. A second driveway provides dedicated access for the ADU, currently rented month to month. The third structure next to the ADU is connected to power and water/septic and could be a workshop or conditioned storage. Lastly, just beyond the flower and vegetable garden is an RV hookup should you need additional space for visiting guests! With almost 5 acres of privacy and gorgeous southern vistas, this personal sanctuary will whisk you away from the world the moment you arrive and nearby beaches, shopping and dining are just minutes away!
