To the right, the showstopping bay-windowed sitting room is wrapped in warm golden walls, elegant crown molding, and floor-to-ceiling botanical drapes, with a chandelier that glows like candlelight. French doors open directly to the porch, seamlessly blending the indoors and outdoors in true Lowcountry fashion. The heart of the home is a beautifully designed family room anchored by a custom built-in entertainment wall featuring open shelving, cabinetry, and a sleek linear fireplace — the perfect backdrop for cozy evenings in. Rich hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, and a graceful staircase with painted balusters and a warm wood handrail adds architectural elegance. French doors at the rear open to yet another covered porch, keeping the outdoors within reach at every turn. The chef’s kitchen is a true standout, featuring striking two-tone cabinetry in soft white upper cabinets and sage green lowers, dramatic black granite countertops, a tumbled stone tile backsplash with custom medallion accents, under-cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances, and a peninsula with bar seating for three. The kitchen flows effortlessly into a charming breakfast nook and a separate dining room — chandelier-lit and framed with botanical artwork — equally suited for a casual weeknight dinner or a holiday gathering. Also on the main level, the primary suite is a true private sanctuary. Wrapped in serene sky blue with plantation shutters on every window, the spacious bedroom connects to a dressing corridor with dual walk-in closets before revealing a spa-quality en suite bath that belongs in the pages of Architectural Digest. The fully renovated bathroom features a dual vanity with a quartz countertop, gold-framed mirrors, brass and glass sconce lighting, a freestanding soaking tub with a floor-mount matte black faucet, and a large walk-in shower clad in floor-to-ceiling marble-look tile with a recessed niche and rain showerhead — all finished with shiplap wainscoting and plantation shutters. A convenient main-floor laundry room with full cabinetry and a utility sink completes the first floor, along with a charming half bath finished in seafoam with oil-rubbed bronze accents. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms offer generous size, plush carpet, plantation shutters, and abundant closet space — each styled with its own coastal cottage personality, from a serene sage green guest room to a flexible flex/office space with built-in workspace. A well-appointed secondary bedroom with an en suite bath and a shared full bath with tub/shower combo provide room and privacy for everyone. Outside, the mature tree-lined lot offers privacy, shade, and beautifully maintained landscaping. Multiple covered porches — front, side, and rear — give you every reason to live outside and embrace the very best of Lowcountry life. And the location? Simply unmatched. This home sits directly across from the community kayak dock and pavilion, where Coosaw Creek flows out to the Ashley River — one of the Lowcountry’s most scenic and storied waterways. Paddle across and you’ll find yourself gazing at the grounds of the legendary Middleton Place, one of America’s most celebrated historic plantations. Whether you’re spending a lazy afternoon floating on the river, launching a kayak at sunrise, or simply gathering at the pavilion with neighbors, this is a lifestyle as much as it is a home. This is the one you’ve been waiting for: magazine-worthy design, thoughtful updates, impeccable condition, and a location that makes every day feel like a getaway. Welcome to The Refuge.
