ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME WATER LOVER'S DREAM HOME. Featured in Charleston Home + Design, this DEEPWATER home on the Wando River is in the exclusive Captain's Island Community of Daniel Island Park and is truly one of its kind. Designed with abundant outdoor living and a luxurious and thoughtful interior, this home is Lowcountry living at its finest. From the moment you walk into the front door of this elevated home, you will be amazed by the water views. The living room is a breathtaking two-story cathedral concept looking out onto the water. Origin full-pane accordion doors bring the outdoors to you by combining the vaulted two-story ceiling of the kitchen, dining and living area with the expansive outdoor living space. CONTINUE READINGThe outdoor living area features IPE decking, a custom-designed infinity pool with heating and chilling capabilities, a heated spa, phantom motorized retractable screens, ceiling heaters and fans, an outdoor wood burning fireplace, surround sound stereo, a kitchen and barbeque area with beverage cooler, ice maker, and Wolf outdoor grill, and separate dining and living areas. There is additional storage for all of your island living and water toys underneath the elevated home. There are two garages. The main garage spans the entire footprint of the home and can accommodate up to six cars (or ample room for a boat trailer). There is also a separate one-car garage under the studio portion of the home. In addition, there is a large, fenced backyard with a custom beach area and built-in fire pit leading to the deepwater dock with roofed pierhead, floating dock, and boat lift. If the dock and lift are not large enough to accommodate your boat, no problem because a DHEC-approved permit is in hand for a modified dock and lift expansion for a total of two lifts if desired. After a long day on the boat with friends and family, you can wash off in the outdoor shower before heading inside. The beautifully designed kitchen features top of the line appliances, including Sub Zero refrigerator, Wolf gas stove with hood, Wolf microwave drawer, and Asco dishwasher, as well as a separate butler's pantry/prep kitchen with coffee bar, a wet bar with Sub Zero wine cooler, and a whole home water filtration system. A gas fireplace with built-in bookshelves completes the living area. The large owner's suite boasts water views and features a two-story ceiling, window seating and storage, an ensuite bath with freestanding tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities, and makeup counter, and a spacious custom walk-in closet. The beautifully tiled laundry room, half-bath with custom wallpaper, mudroom, and small private office space completes the first floor. Enjoy full elevator access to all floors, including access to the second floor where you will find two secondary bedrooms, one with its own loft and one with 4 built-in bunk beds, both with ensuite baths. The fourth bedroom and bath are just steps away in the attached but private dual FROG/studio with an additional drop zone and upstairs gym/home office. Also included in this home are 2 tankless water heaters, a mosquito misting system, irrigation and landscape lighting, and a gas generator. The home was built with hurricane-glass windows and elevated to the maximum allowable height. The home comes with the availability of an immediate Daniel Island Club golf membership.
