CLASSIC LOWCOUNTRY STYLE 

Kiawah River Estates has recently become one of the area’s most popular island communities. Residents enjoy a prestigious lifestyle with low property owner’s fees and year-round enjoyment of resort-style amenities. The neighborhood is gated with a clubhouse, fitness center, pool, tennis courts and community crabbing dock along the deep waters of Bohicket River. Kiawah River Estates winds around the lush greens, lagoons and fairways of Kiawah Island’s championship Oak Point Golf Course.

The home at 2898 Maritime Forest Drive is on one of Kiawah River Estates most private homesites with nearly half an acre overlooking a tidal creek. The property is nicely landscaped with a large rear yard with gardens and fencing. The home is designed in a classic Lowcountry style: elevated with parking beneath and living areas above to maximize the views. The home has a distinctive exterior with cement siding and a characteristic red metal roof. A highlight of this home is the porches - full front and large rear screened – that create an extension of the living spaces. Its interior is equally impressive with grand gathering places and luxurious bedroom suites, each with a great view. Noteworthy details include wide plank hardwood floors, tile baths, large windows, pretty moldings, a neutral color palette, bronze and brushed nickel hardware and ceiling fans throughout.

Interior:  Entrance from the front porch reveals the great room with views across the property to the creek. The living area has a cathedral ceiling, gas fireplace flanked by inset bookshelves, cabinets and entertainment center; dining area, kitchen and several French doors to the screened porch. The kitchen has been upfitted with granite counters, an apron sink, center island with prep sink, gas cook top and stainless steel appliances. Bar seating along the edge of the living area is ideal when entertaining friends and family. Also great for guests is the expansive screened porch with its ever-changing marsh and river views. The master bedroom suite is designed for relaxation with French doors to the screened porch and a luxurious bath. It has dual closets, granite vanity with double basins, a ceramic tile walk-in shower and a Jacuzzi tub. Two additional bedrooms have private baths and offer either water or golf views.
