This unique waterfront home was designed by Stephen Herlong, a renowned Lowcountry architect, and built by Phillip Smith, a sought after upscale builder, in 2006. The picturesque setting is among the most private on Daniel Island with only one neighbor to the right and an estuary on the left. The home sits on .88 acres overlooking Ralston Creek with the marsh in the distance. It features a deep water dock with an attached floating dock for the avid boater, with easy access to the Wando River and the Charleston Harbor. It is an outdoor paradise for an active family who enjoys swimming in the backyard pool, as well as kayaking and paddle boarding in the creek.This reverse floor plan home was carefully designed to capitalize on the stellar views of the Ralston Creek while capturing cool breezes from two lovely verandas off the rear of the home. The main living space, kitchen and master bedroom are on the top floor and are easily accessible by the home's top of the line elevator. The open, light filled kitchen was recently renovated by Brown Meihaus Fine Homes and showcases handsome, historic 300 year old cabinetry. A grand fireplace in the living room provides warmth and a cozy place to curl up with a good book. There is an easy flow to the home as the dining room, kitchen and living room are all interconnected--perfect for entertaining! The spacious upstairs master bedroom suite provides stunning views of the creek and the estuary while allowing for privacy and one-floor living. The remaining four bedrooms are located on the first floor and are anchored by a family/media room perfect for relaxing with easy access to the veranda overlooking the pool and creek in the distance. There is also an unfinished room above the detached two car garage, perfect for guests or a mother-in-law suite. A membership to the exclusive Daniel Island Club is available, perfect for those who enjoy golf and tennis. There is no need to leave the island! It has everything you need from a grocery store to cafes and fine dining--there is also a sports arena and concert venue: The Family Circle Cup Arena. Daniel Island is also home to some of Charleston's finest schools.
