Lying on the wide blue waters of the Kiawah River, the home at 491 Old Dock Road features its own private dock and heated infinity pool along with the stunning views. Designed by the acclaimed Camens Architectural Group, whose work has been featured in publications ranging from the New York Times to International Property & Travel magazine, and constructed with careful attention to detail by the award-winning Buffington Homes, the home impresses inside and out. Outside, a curving drive, shingle exterior, and wooden-ceilinged front porch welcome guests. Inside, an open floor plan awaits. Step inside the sunny two-story foyer with its gorgeously stained hardwood flooring and lovely white trim--which both extend throughout the living areas--and straight ahead the living room's wall of windows and glass doors catches the eye, showcasing the water views. The living room is spacious, easily seating seven, with a white coffered ceiling, gas fireplace flanked by white custom cabinetry, and glass doors leading to the home's wide screened porch with its wooden ceiling. There, an outdoor dining table and chairs offer seating for ten, and a door leads to the pool deck, shaded by palmetto trees and magnificent live oaks. Return to the living room, which opens to a beautifully done kitchen with top-tier appliances including a Wolf® gas cooktop, double oven, and hood, Bosch® dishwasher, and large stainless steel GE Café® refrigerator. Twin windows over the farmhouse sink invite light inside, the cabinetry is richly stained, and the countertops are granite. A generously sized center island has an additional prep sink and breakfast bar with extra seating for three, and a pantry offers yet more storage space. The kitchen opens into the home's dining room with its barrel-vaulted ceiling and rows of tall windows and doors on three sides showcasing the exquisite river views. Glass doors to one side lead to the screened porch. The spacious master suite is also on the main level. In the bedroom, the shimmering waters of the river extend into the distance, framed by a wall of windows and glass doors opening to the pool deck. The master bath is immaculate with an expansive frameless-glass rainshower, large soaking tub set with handheld showerhead set beneath sunny windows, and both granite-topped his-and-hers vanities and a separate makeup vanity. The pale ceramic tile flooring is lovely and cool underfoot, and there's an enormous walk-in closet with built-in drawers and shelving. Take the home's elevator or sunny staircase with its tall windows and spectacular tower roof ceiling to the second floor to step onto a wide gallery overlooking the foyer. There you'll find three spacious bedrooms, including one with windows and glass doors opening to a second-story balcony overlooking the river. With its large walk-in closet with built-in shelving, expansive frameless glass shower, soaking tub, and his-and-hers sinks, it can easily serve as a second master suite. The remaining bedrooms are no less stunning. The first offers a wall of windows and glass doors opening to the second-story balcony, and a full bath with a frameless-glass walk-in shower. The other is lined with windows streaming with sunlight on two sides, and features a bath with a windowed soaking tub and shower with built-in ledge. Both offer large walk-in closets with built-in shelving. Additional features of this fully furnished home, located near the Gary Player-designed Cougar Point golf course and within a leisurely five-minute drive of the coming world-class amenities of West Beach Village and the amenities of East Beach Village, including the Roy Barth Tennis Center, Night Heron Park and Nature Center, and five-star Sanctuary with its boutiques and eateries, include an irrigation system and impact-rated doors and windows.
