Situated on a south-facing bluff on Distant Island, this deepwater, award winning contemporary interpretation of Southern vernacular architecture offers the finest in location, quality and design. Featuring four bedrooms and three and one- half baths, the home was designed as three separate structures, connected by hyphens and breezeways, creating private and light- filled distinct spaces. A gravel drive winds through mature landscaping to the home. A herringbone- patterned Old Carolina Savannah grey brick staircase, covered by a large pergola, leads to the front door. The staircase is enhanced by built-in planters. An airy foyer, with a brick floor, allows for access to the living room and kitchen. Casual and sophisticated, the living room offers a dramatic two- story vaulted ceiling, wide-plank reclaimed heart pine floors and a bank of windows facing the deep water of Distant Island Creek. The wood-burning fireplace also offers a gas starter and an exposed brick chimney. The walls are shiplap, and large built-in shelves are adjacent to the fireplace. Four ceiling fans gently turn to keep the room fresh and cool. Beautiful beams and contemporary cables offer structural support and create a dynamic blend of old and new. Anchoring the east end of the living room is a kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, some with glass panels. There is a Dacor gas range and cooktop, a Bosch dishwasher, a Dacor wall oven and separate microwave. There are two sinks and honed Calacatta gold marble counters. Focal points include a brick back splash and the massive copper-topped island. The well-conceived island offers storage and easy access for small appliances. Located off the living room is a perfect place to watch a movie or read a book. Surrounded by custom shelves, this well- proportioned room offers a large TV with a home-theater surround sound system. A large laundry room adjacent to the kitchen continues the same high- quality counters and cabinetry, while a powder room completes this end of the home. The Lowcountry lifestyle can be fully enjoyed outside of the home as amenities include a large hexagonal screened porch, and open covered porch and a spacious waterfront deck. There is a private deepwater dock extending into Chowan Creek offering easy access to the ICW, fishing, sandbars, and restaurants. Distant Island is a short 10 minute drive to Downtown Beaufort or 20 minutes to the Hunting Island State Park Beach, offers a community garden, 3 docks, private boat landing, walking trails, and a tennis court. Truly on of the finest properties in the Lowcountry and one of a kind.
