This spectacular home sits on a scenic bluff overlooking a tidal creek with a dock that leads out to Wappoo Creek, minutes from downtown Charleston.Inspired by art, fashion, history and architecture, the current owners painstakingly sourced the world's best designer finishes and fixtures, hired passionate craftsmen, and took this property to the next level in sophisticated design for luxurious living. Every single surface wastouched and reimagined with both subtle accents and dramatic statement pieces. The attention to detail in this property is unparalleled - from the custom curved plaster trim, brass trim accents on reeded wood paneled walls, bespoke lighting, gorgeous marble, and custom woodwork throughout. The design and selections were incredibly thoughtful and intentional. Tucked behind a berm of azaleas and a charming, curved brick wall, the discreet façade gives little hint to the magic of this spectacular residence. As you enter the foyer with Schumacher Iksel wallpaper, you are transported to another realm. The living room with plaster recessed tray ceiling and curved plaster trim is punctuated with Urban Electric light fixtures. A wood burning fireplace with hand carved stone mantle anchors one end of the room, while a custom wet bar with diverting painted doors trimmed in brass anchor the other side. Open shelving separates the living room from the gorgeous dining room, which has three sets of French doors that open onto the patio, terraced lawn, and provide stunning views of the marsh and creek. Ribbed paneled wood walls with brass accents give interesting texture and warmth to the dining area. The property's intuitive layout, and seamless flow between indoors and out, encourages gracious entertaining and allows for the planning of both impromptu, and larger scale events, with ease. The kitchen is a showstopper, illuminated by an expansive skylight with cross-hatched wood accents which imbues the space with a Parisian feel. Two of Urban Electric's "Kronam" lanterns make a dramatic statement over the large Calacatta Vagli Oro marble center island with a beautiful beveled curved edge. A Jaworski Woodworks cabinet adds warmth to the kitchen decorated with fully tiled walls. Appliances include a Lacanche stove, Subzero refrigerator and freezer, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawers and more.

Off the kitchen is a cozy den with walls and ceilings lined in Scalamandre's Marly velvet. French doors from the den lead out to the patio, terraced lawn and down to the dock. This cozy room is perfect for morning coffee or late-night cocktails. The primary suite has windows overlooking the lawn and marsh and is a showcase for the home's meticulous attention to detail, including two walk-in closets with custom cabinetry while the Fortuny fabric ceiling lined wood-paneled hallway evokes a classic yacht feel. The primary bathroom is stunning, with custom long vanity topped with Calacatta Monet marble, generous marble baseboard, freestanding soaking tub, and large shower with dramatic statement marble and industrial style glass door with transom. Two other bedrooms with handsome tiled bathroom are located in the bedroom wing, along with attractive laundry room. Another family room doubles as a "listening room" with custom wood paneled walls, grass cloth papered ceiling, built-in bookcases, and a long wooden cabinet with leather top, the most authentic mid-century feeling room in the house, but with an elevated twist. French doors open onto the patio and large pool. The large vintage oval shaped pool was resurfaced and improved with new curved stone edging, and new hardscape and landscape surround. The pool house/guest house with crisp striped awnings and covered patio provides additional entertaining and lounging space.

There is a private hot tub/spa overlooking the marsh and creek adjacent to the guest house, along with a small crabbing dock. An outdoor shower is tucked beside the guest house. The property sits on a high bluff overlooking a tidal creek that leads out to Wappoo Creek, with a new retaining wall protecting both the property and the marsh. The dock has been redone with all new Ipe decking and features a boat lift. Lovely, curved brick walls with custom Robert Thomas crafted iron gates provide privacy and architectural interest. Acclaimed landscape architect, Glen Gardner, designed the landscaping, which features a terraced back lawn, abundant florals around the pool, live oak trees, olive trees, a ginkgo tree, holly trees, and a charming moss garden. A fire pit area and basketball court are tucked on the east side of the property. Other improvements that you cannot see but are much appreciated include all new mechanical systems, with geothermal HVAC with in-line dehumidifier. Geothermal was used so there are no unsightly HVAC condensers marring the exterior, and no annoying HVAC condenser humming to disrupt the serenity of the creekside setting. There is also all new electrical and plumbing, including a whole house 50kw Cummins gas generator and new water and sewer lines run to the street. All Loewen windows and doors are hurricane rated.
