The 6,200-square-foot estate is ideal for both the consummate host with its home theatre and pub, and for the thinker with its library and study. It is as desirable for the historic architecture buff, with its antique limestone floors, stairs imported from Bordeaux, and reclaimed heart pine floors, and for guests, with its top-floor guest suite and spacious sundeck with stunning views.

Inspired by turn-of-the-century architecture, the cedar-shake and shingled-roof residence greets guests with a welcoming arms brick staircase reminiscent of historic Charleston and an entry door with Victorian-inspired transom and side lights.

Step across the grand front-to-rear foyer, 24 feet deep beneath its Empire-period chandelier, to see stunning views of Bass Creek through glass doors opening to an expansive, columned rear terrace.

To the right lies an English-style pub and seating area with leather club chairs, nearly floor-to-ceiling windows with wooden trim reminiscent of a lodge in England’s countryside, and a full-scale bar whose windows overlook serene marshland. Behind its wooden counter everything is easily at hand: two keg taps—one for lagers and one for stouts, stainless steel Landmark® undercounter wine cooler, beverage refrigerator, Scotsman® icemaker, GE Monogram® microwave, wood-paneled Miele® mini-dishwasher, and prep sink. Granite countertops paired with rustic wooden cabinetry and shelving offer ample storage and prep space, and the wooden bar seats three in spacious comfort.

To the left, past a gracefully curving staircase with wrought-iron railing—note the French carving in the stone tread where it rounds the corner—is the residence’s eighteen-foot-deep theater with tiered recliner seating, curtained windows with electronic shutters, large curtained screen, and Epson® ceiling projector. Professionally engineered for ideal sound quality, the theater enjoys a PSB® speaker system, and closets to the side of the screen offer space to store media collections.

Located off the pub is the home’s hexagonal fifteen-foot study, currently set up as a comfortable media room with wide wooden crown molding and trim, wall lanterns, and tall windows facing four directions. Here, as elsewhere on the first and second levels, the ceilings soar twelve feet high.

Guests enjoy private first-floor suites down a glass-lined hallway with views out to the vast marsh, a separate entrance to the rear terrace, a windowed powder room, and their own windowed laundry room with side-by-side laundry machines, utility sink, clean white cabinetry, built-in ironing board, and full-height Vinotheque® wine cooler.

The two guest suites enjoy tall windows streaming with light, reclaimed heart pine floors, baths with rich ivory ceramic wall tiling—one with a jetted soaking tub, one with a walk-in shower—and views out to the tidal creek, vast marshland, and native Island treetops from multiple windows.

En route to the second floor, step out to the expansive living spaces to the rear of the residence. The wide terrace, topped with a beadboard ceiling, opens to the spacious pool deck, which itself leads not only to the pool but an airy gazebo with cupola. An outdoor spiral staircase leads up to the second floor’s wide, curving covered balcony with outdoor kitchen, al fresco dining room, and ipe decking; a second exterior stair leads down to a garage complete with redwood-enclosed shower and dressing area—in addition to the pool half-bath.

Take any route—interior stair, exterior stair, or the residence’s elevator—to the second floor, where the main living spaces enjoy some of the most breathtaking views on the estate. The light-filled living room is centered around a gas fireplace with marble surround and custom mantel; to either side are large, nearly floor-to-ceiling windows. The niche with arched windows is perfect for a music room, writing or studio space, or additional sitting area.

Beautifully trimmed arched openings lead to a sunlit chef's kitchen 28 feet deep, with panoramic views of the water from bay windows over the stainless wide-basin sink and glass doors opening to a magnificent screened porch, itself inviting a cup of coffee at sunrise or evening wine amid the Island air. The French country kitchen comes with gorgeous cream-colored custom cabinetry with glass-faced cupboards, custom tile backsplash, granite countertops, reclaimed heart pine floors, wide kitchen island and breakfast bar with prep sink, top-tier stainless appliances including Wolf® six-burner gas cooktop and oven, Miele convection oven, Bosch® dishwasher, Sub-Zero® refrigerator, Landmark undercounter wine cooler, and Scotsman icemaker. A walk-in pantry offers ample storage and twin built-in desk niches extra space for musing over cookbooks.

A striking hexagonal dining room adjacent to the kitchen offers the ideal spot for dinner parties. Its windows frame views of the water, tranquil tidal marshland, and treetops.

To the other side of the living room is the showpiece of the estate: the gorgeously wood-paneled library with gas fireplace, custom bookshelves and cabinetry, wood-planked ceiling, and tall windows framing the green treetops in three directions.

The primary suite takes up the north wing of this level. Surrounded by large windows on three walls, including a spacious sitting area in its own sunroom nook, its high-ceilinged bedroom is awash in sunlight. The windows dazzle with incredible views from every vantage point: glistening water, undulating marsh grasses nearly as far as the eye can see, lush maritime trees, and Kiawah's endlessly spectacular sky.

The centerpiece of the suite’s many-windowed bath is a freestanding Kohler® soaking tub set in an arched alcove with plantation-shuttered windows. His-and-hers vanities with marble countertops and custom antiqued wood cabinetry lie to either side of striking wooden Juliet doors with frosted glass panes. An oversized walk-in shower features white subway tile, bench seating, and multiple shower jets. Underfoot is beautiful limestone tile; above is a barrel-vaulted ceiling.

Immediately adjacent is a wood-floored dressing hall. Its walls have been hand-painted with scenes of Kiawah Island landscapes. The crisp white cabinetry and painted walls conceal his-and-her walk-in closets, and there's also a private, windowed laundry room with undercounter Asko® washer and dryer, sink, and plentiful cabinet and counter space.

Up a lanterned third flight of stairs is the top-floor guest studio with its sitting room and bedroom niche. Cozy with angled ceilings and white beadboard walls yet streaming with light from plantation-shuttered skylights, glass doors, and tall windows, the 30-foot-wide suite opens to private curved balconies on opposite sides. The rear enjoys nearly endless tidal creek views and seclusion; the front the prevailing ocean breezes and rooftop views. An alcove with a window seat offers a quiet spot to relax, and a spacious closet features plenty of storage. The suite’s full bath includes a wide frameless-glass-doored walk-in shower with custom tiling and built-in seating.

Additional features of this magnificent Island estate, offered fully furnished and designed by reputed Eastern Seaboard architect Skip Wallace, includes sound, security, and irrigation systems, a two-car garage with an additional Sub-Zero refrigerator, and an enviable location just a six-minute bicycle ride from The Beach Club and five-minute drive along tidal creeks and marshes from the world-renowned Ocean Course, site of multiple PGA championships.
