Nothing defines the Coastal South more than a raised low country home set beneath a canopy of moss draped ancient oaks and against a backdrop of rich marsh grasses and a gently flowing river.

Broad porches and expansive decks capture the cool breezes while an abundance of windows catch the views too!

The central entry hall greets visitors with stunning hardwood floors and beautiful crown molding. Formal rooms flank each side of the hall. The large formal dining room is elegantly dressed in hardwood and crown. The formal living room displays the same fine finishing touches. A wet bar forms an alternate passageway to the family room portion of the great room. A cedar storage closet is opposite the wet bar. The fireplace is fitted with gas logs, surrounded by brick and topped with a crisp white mantelpiece. Double French doors to the deck and tall windows showcase seemingly endless views of the coastal bounty.

The spacious kitchen and sunny breakfast room combine with the great room to infuse the home with light and space. The gourmet kitchen boasts a moveable working island, abundant double rows of cabinetry, and granite countertops. Appliances include a smooth cooktop with downdraft, dual convection ovens, and dishwasher. The marsh side breakfast room opens to the deck. The service hall connecting the kitchen and dining room houses the powder room with built-in storage and a huge combined laundry and planning office stocked with 42 inch upper cabinets.

Double doors reveal the foyer to the striking main level owners’ suite. The bedroom offers direct access to the deck and is positioned for soothing views of the moss covered trees, water and marsh. The master bath is appointed with dual vanities, a jetted soaking tub, and glass enclosed show with seat. Two walk-in closets are in the foyer. The spiral staircase leads to a private observation loft with amazing views over the coastline.

Atop the main staircase are three spacious bedrooms with large closets. One is a full suite complete with a private bath. The remaining two bedrooms share a sky lit full bath off the upper hall.

Drive under parking is available for four vehicles. The ground level also provides a large workshop and storage room. A lift chair is installed along the stairway to the main level.

The property encompasses 1.6 acres. A dock is under construction. Dutch Island residents enjoy staffed gate access, a pool, tennis courts, and community boat ramp and dock.
