32 Blue Heron Pond Rd, Johns Island, SC 29455

Beautifully situated on a tidal creek surrounded by vast green and golden marshland, the cedar-shingle home at 32 Blue Heron Pond is awash in stunning views from both its expansive outdoor living spaces and walls of wide windows.   Newly constructed in 2017 in coastal Lowcountry style with a metal roof, a shimmering pool nestled into a wide, curving deck overlooking the marsh, and a guesthouse connected by an outdoor, upper-level walkway, this exquisite home is located in The Preserve, a highly desirable neighborhood with a community dock.   Here, life can be lived indoors or out. A wide covered porch off the kitchen and front porch invites you to while away an hour or two with a friendly neighbor; to the home's side is a large screened porch with two-story fireplace and vaulted, wood-beamed ceiling. At the rear lies a spacious, curved sundeck overlooking the view. At one end is a summer kitchen; at the other is the in-deck pool. Step inside the windowed front doors, crafted of gorgeous mahogany, into a spacious entry with white shiplap walls. Dark, wide-plank hardwood floors stretch throughout the sun-filled home and guesthouse, and beautiful, hurricane-rated windows are everywhere. The family room features two walls of windows framing the tranquil marsh, white shiplap walls, vaulted ceiling, and a lovely fireplace with stone surround.  Step into the large gourmet kitchen and you'll find white floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, pale stone countertops, subway tile backsplash, large paneled refrigerator and freezer with ice maker, paneled dishwasher, and professional-grade stainless steel appliances including a microwave, wine cooler, and Wolf® duel fuel range with six gas burners and dual convection oven. There are windows over the wide farmhouse sink, a separate bar area with extra shelving, and a true butler's pantry with prep sink. A generously sized island with a dark stone countertop offers extra seating.  Open to the kitchen, the dining area comfortably seats eight and is surrounded by wide windows on three sides, framing the verdant view. French doors lead to the screened porch, too, for dining in fresh air. On the opposite side of the entry is the expansive master bedroom with windows on three sides, a high, white-painted wooden ceiling, and exquisite master bath with generously sized rainshower, freestanding copper tub, dual stone-topped vanities, dark stone flooring, and white wide-plank beadboard wainscoting.  Take the elevator or stairs to the second level. There, open to the stairwell, lies a spacious bonus room with white shiplap walls ideal for an extra sitting area, media room, library, or game room. It leads to two en suite guest bedrooms with high ceilings, generously sized showers, stone countertops and floors, and white wide-plank beadboard wainscoting.  On the other side is a bunk room with extra sleeping space and a handsome study with barrel-vault ceiling and a wall of windows overlooking the treetops. Outside, a guesthouse complete with a comfortable study and sitting area, sunny breakfast nook, kitchenette, and bathroom will delight your guests. The bedroom is framed in wide trim and molding, the bath features a large tiled shower, pale stone floors and countertop, and white wide-plank beadboard wainscoting. The kitchenette offers a prep sink, wine fridge, counter space, and cabinetry for food storage.  Additional features of this immaculate home include a 2 ½ car garage, tankless water heater, and irrigation, sound, and security systems.
