8 Chechesse Circle
Callawassie Island
Beaufort County, South Carolina
$625,000

This handsome coastal residence is a perfect companion to South Carolina’s beautiful Callawassie Island. The exterior pairs coquina shell stucco with tabby steps. The embedded shell surfaces rival the beauty of natural stone.

The waterside nurtures egrets, herons, wood storks, osprey and a host of other species. This property boasts the distinction of being the first on the island designated as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by National Wildlife Federation.

A transom and sidelights frame the beveled glass entry door. The foyer is elegantly trimmed in crown molding. Gorgeous oak hardwood is underfoot.

To the right, the gracious formal dining room is accented with a trey ceiling and built-in buffet.

A cathedral ceiling soars over the great room, creating a bright and airy ambience. Through a wall of windows, nature becomes living artwork. Built-in bookcases hug the gas log fireplace. Wired for surround sound, tv and dish, the great room and Carolina room offer a private retreat.

The gourmet kitchen’s serving bar extends into a large breakfast room with a picturesque bay window. The side wall offers a butler’s pantry and wine cabinet. Extensive Craft Stone countertops, a solid surface range, trash compactor, dishwasher and generous side-by-side refrigerator complement the white cabinetry.

Adjoining the breakfast room is the four season Carolina room. Windows slide, revealing screens that allow the gentle coastal breeze to blow through.

The first floor master suite offers panoramic views of the unobstructed woods and water. Moss draped live oaks, palmettos and other indigenous trees form a backdrop of serene privacy. Two walk-in closets provide ample dressing space. A pocket door hides a luxurious bath appointed with a pair of vanities, a tub with jets and a shower enclosed in obscure glass.

Two additional bedrooms overlook the spectacular front yard landscape. An artist’s studio occupies one of the rooms. The second full bath is positioned in the hall nearby.

On the opposite side of the home, the laundry is fitted with a Maytag high efficiency washer and dryer, a deep soaking sink and supply closet.

A spacious bonus room, or fourth bedroom and full bath are on the second floor.

Residents enjoy the active Callawassie lifestyle on the 27 hole Tom Fazio designed golf course, or play tennis, go boating, swimming or work out in a state-of-the-art fitness center, all within this gated community.
