32 Blue Heron Pond Rd, Kiawah Island, SC 29455 - Charleston County

The exquisite estate at 32 Blue Heron Pond Road, situated to optimize privacy on nearly an acre of prime land beside wide marshland and a meandering tidal creek, offering breathtaking views of one of the Island’s most tranquil natural vistas.

Enjoying a pool, with copper-clad fountains, set into a curved Brazilian Ipe pool deck, outdoor kitchen, spectacular two-story screened porch with fireplace, and guesthouse connected to the main house by a covered walkway, the property exudes an air of leisure-filled Island living ideal for the most hospitable of hosts and the most discerning of families.

The Shingle Style Coastal Retreat is impressive at first approach with its standing-seam metal roofing, engineered shake siding, and fine exterior details including Arts & Crafts windows, a 26-foot-deep front porch with molding-framed ceiling of wood, clean-lined cable rail along elevated walkways and outdoor living spaces, wooden carriage doors, garage pergola, and warmly lit, copper wall lanterns flanking the front entry doors and the arched gracefully openings beside the ground-level walkways. The landscaping, complete with lighting and irrigation throughout the property, has been impeccably designed and maintained.

Inside, richly stained wide-plank Brazilian cherry flooring stretches throughout. Thick, graceful white molding trims the entirety of the main level, there are white shiplap walls throughout the living spaces, and white vertical shiplap wainscoting enhances the walls of the residence’s baths.

Step through the windowed, wooden entry doors to the sunlit, high-ceilinged entry hall. Twenty-four feet deep, it leads straight to a set of windowed doors opening to the rear terrace and the residence’s showpiece: a glassed-in, 380-bottle wine cellar with temperature control and inventory management system available for its next wine collection. A square staircase rises behind it to one side; to the other, the home’s elevator transports groceries and guests between all floors.

The airy living room opens to one side of the rear of entry hall, the residence’s dining room to the other. In the two-story living room, surrounded by rows of large windows showcasing views of serene marshland to three sides, a vaulted handcrafted shiplap ceiling and second-story window invite even more natural light inside. A gas fireplace with gracefully curved white surround and separate wall-mounted Craftsman mantel, paired with lighted built-in bookshelves and custom cabinetry with a central niche available for artwork, anchors one side of the space.

The dining room is completely light-filled. It too is surrounded by large windows with stunning natural views on three sides. The dining table seats eight or more with ease beneath a spectacular bubble glass chandelier. Glass doors to one side open to an entry vestibule leading to the pool deck, pool half-bath, and the spectacular , expansive screened porch with its vaulted, lighted wooden ceiling braced by beautifully handcrafted rafters, gas fireplace below a large wall-mounted TV, and outdoor living and dining rooms, each ready for fresh-air dining, conversation, or feature film nights amidst the wafting of Island breezes. An adjacent, elegantly appointed half-bath services both the enclosed porch and pool area.

The residence’s kitchen is open to the dining room. Here, a large center island offers additional seating for four at its breakfast bar beneath twin crystal pendant chandeliers. The countertops are of stone and the pristine white ceiling-height cabinetry includes furniture details at its base. A wet bar with Sub-Zero® wine cooler lines one wall, there are windows over the white farmhouse sink, and the top-tier stainless appliances include Wolf® wall microwave, dual ovens, and six-burner gas cooktop with custom hood and backsplash tile detail. The Sub-Zero freezer-bottom refrigerator is paneled to match the cabinetry, and the gray boutique subway tile backsplash lends the space a Parisian charm. To one side is an expansive butler’s pantry and mudroom with its own windowed double-door front entry, floor tile laid in a herringbone pattern, windowed sink, coffee nook, commercial ice maker, and undercounter laundry.

The primary suite is a sanctuary tucked away behind the staircase wall for privacy. A corner suite, it enjoys its own private foyer, white shiplap ceiling

and light-filled windows on three sides in the bedroom, and walk-in closet and dressing room space with drawered cabinetry. Juliet doors open to its bath, where the centerpiece is a standalone soaking tub spectacular in copper. It’s set beneath a warmly lit, classic Bungalow three-tier bead pendant chandelier and a wall of windows framing one of Kiawah’s legendary live oaks. A generously sized frameless-glass walk-in rainshower with beautifully tiled walls, built-in bench, and an additional handheld showerhead and sinks set into clean-lined his-and-hers vanities complete the space. Above the latter, mirrors set opposite each other make a hall of mirrors.

The second level welcomes all comers with a sitting-room loft eighteen feet in width beneath charmingly angled ceilings and white shiplap walls. Two guest suites lie to a wing on one side, and a home office and bunk room share a bath in the other. Each guest bedroom enjoys twin windows, one overlooking the treetops and the other, the blue waters of a tidal creek amidst waving marsh grasses. Both enjoy the coziness of angled ceilings and immaculate baths, one with a dual walk-in shower with European glass wall, the other with stacked vanity mirrors and wide walk-in shower with sliding doors of mounted glass.

The bunk room offers four built-in bunks flanking a sunny window on a vertical shiplap bed wall, sleeping four to six in cushioned comfort. Wider captain’s beds make up the first tier, and the room has its own entrance to the bath with its pale cabinetry and shower and bath with ceiling-height gray subway tile.

The estate’s one-and-a half-story home office is flooded with light from a row of large windows filling one wall beneath a white barrel-vaulted ceiling. White built-in cabinetry and desk space fill one wall, supplementing a simply elegant standalone desk.

In the guesthouse, the glass entry door opens to a windowed morning pantry with breakfast table and kitchenette with prep sink, paneled undercounter refrigerator, and coffee nook beneath wall shelving. Beyond is an imminently comfortable sitting area and study with windows on two sides and a writing desk. The bedroom enjoys tall windows on two sides: two flanking the bed and a row along the far wall. The bath is lovely with windows facing two

directions, hanging pendant lights casting a warm glow, and a frameless-glass walk-in shower beautifully tiled in a herringbone pattern. Thoughtful details for guests, including a dressing mirror, UV air purifier, and built-in shower seat and shampoo niche, abound.
