1358 Polly Point Road, Wadmalaw Island, SC 29487 | MLS# 23025726

Imagine a life where the natural beauty of the Lowcountry flora and fauna surrounds you. A life where mornings are spent watching birds gracefully soar across the marsh, and evenings find you relaxing on the porch sipping a refreshing beverage as a gentle breeze blows through the graceful oaks and deer pass silently by. The spartina grass of the marsh transforms from green to gold as the seasons change. Once you cross over the waterway onto Wadmalaw Island from the bustle of Charleston, the cares of the world seem to fade away. Coming home here is a dream...a rare find in these days of tiny lots and homes packed tightly together. Tucked away in the privacy of the 600-acre gated community of Polly Point Plantation, yet only about 20 minutes from Downtown Charleston or KiawahIsland, this lush 3-acre estate with wooded buffers along the front and sides of the property and the marsh and tidal creek along the rear was designed for seamless indoor-outdoor Lowcountry living. Nature surrounds you as you relax on the expansive porches that grace the residence and extend and enlarge the living spaces of the home, including the rear screened porch which measures an impressive 12 ft deep by 60 ft wide. Enjoy cooler evenings spent by the porch's wood-burning stone fireplace while you savor the breathtaking long-range sunset views of the marsh and the Wadmalaw River beyond. Cable railing systems on the porches keep the views unobstructed. Completed in 2022, the home's interior layout is open and flows effortlessly to the porches surrounding the home on three sides. The gourmet kitchen includes top-of-the-line natural quartzite countertops with a leathered finish, wide aisles around a large center island, multiple sinks, GE Profile appliances (including a 36"" gas cooktop, double ovens, convection/microwave combo, quiet dishwasher), and a separate bar area with under-counter beverage center refrigerator and nugget ice-maker. A raised breakfast bar allows seating for friends and family to talk as meals are masterfully prepared. The living area, with its two-story ceiling and stone-faced gas fireplace, is just on the other side of the breakfast bar, allowing everyone to be close by and join in the conversation. A large laundry room and separate pantry with custom shelving are conveniently situated next to the kitchen.The spacious primary suite is also on the main level. His-and-hers closets showcase high-end custom closet systems, and the primary bath with a private water closet, large shower, and custom natural quartzite-topped vanity with dual sinks has direct access to both closets and the bedroom. Upstairs, two guest bedrooms with well-appointed ensuite baths, a loft area, and additional storage complete the lovely interior spaces of the home. On the ground level, car enthusiasts will delight in the large garage which can accommodate 7 vehicles. With 5 overhead garage doors, including two 65' pull-through sections, it offers the perfect setup for bringing your boat trailer or other toys in and out, or even for setting up a large workshop. A whole-house reverse osmosis water treatment system, spray foam insulation throughout the home, additional sound-proofing insulation around bedrooms and between the main and upper level of the home, and solid-core interior doors are just some of the many quality features of this home (ask your agent to print out the full list of features). The owners thought through every detail, desiring to create a warm and welcoming home that would not require constant upkeep and maintenance. Low-maintenance features of the home include cement plank exterior siding and wear-resistant LVP flooring throughout the interior (with the exception of tiled floors in the full baths & and laundry). An elevator services all floors of the home, providing access for family and friends of all ages and abilities, as well as making it easy to bring packages and groceries inside without the need to climb stairs. An outdoor shower offers a spot for you and the pups to wash off after a day on the water or in the garden. A whole-house generator system and custom-fitted Kevlar hurricane coverings for all exterior doors and windows will keep you safe and comfortable no matter the weather. The current owners contracted on the home in 2021 and added more than $225,000 worth of upgrades to the home paid outside of the contract price, adding significantly to the value of this one-of-a-kind home. Wadmalaw Island is a special place indeed. Surrounded by the fertile waters of the Lowcountry, life here is unhurried and relaxed, yet close to the abundant restaurants and shopping on John's Island and the beautiful beach of Kiawah's Beachwalker Park.
