2981 Deer Point Drive

This is the epitome of Charleston charm! This home exudes lowcountry character with its palladian windows, operating shutters, elevated construction, hardy plank siding, Ipe staircase with custom wrought iron railings, and custom beveled glass Honduran mahogany door. As you enter the foyer, you are immediately drawn to the sunny two-story family room overlooking the incredibly tranquil marsh setting. As you sit in the family room, you can enjoy the large gas fireplace and as you look up, you can take in the custom wrought iron railing over the second floor hallway. Atrium doors with a custom stained glass transom lead you into a private study with built-in bookshelves, coffered ceiling, and gas fireplace. The dining room also has a coordinating custom stained glass transom to complementthe transom over the neighboring study. The dining room has ample room for entertaining and has a tray ceiling with long windows which brings in abundant natural light. The kitchen was created for the avid cook. It was built with oversized granite working island and has a unique pounded stainless vegetable sink and glass stovetop. Under the island is a wine refrigerator. A custom mahogany door with custom etched glass leads into the butler's pantry which makes entertaining convenient for any host/hostess. There is a separate storage area at the rear of the butler's pantry for storing small appliances and food items. Custom stained glass transoms add light, beauty, and character to both the pantry and the kitchen. French doors open to a screened porch which feels like an extension of the kitchen. The porch has the same ceramic tile flooring so that when the french doors are open on a pretty day, the screened porch feels like one big extra living space. The 3-stop elevator is beautifully paneled in wood. This makes it so much easier to bring in groceries and luggage. The powder room has an antique teak wood cabinet with glass sink and teak mirror which make for a great focal point in this colorful room. Enter the master bedroom through frosted glass atrium doors. This naturally lighted room has a bay window with a spectacular view of the marsh and wildlife. There is a third gas fireplace which adds warmth to the room. A tray ceiling makes this room feel very large. In the master bath, a large stained glass window over the corner jetted tub provides a work of art and light while maintaining privacy. The custom etched glass shower enclosure is another wonderful utilitarian piece of art. Etcher mirrors coordinate with the design on the shower. Dual custom walk in closets flank either side of the bathroom. On the second floor, at the top of the stairs is a cozy private nook, perfect for reading or enjoying the quiet views. French doors open to a classical Charleston piazza with a ceramic tiled floor. This is a great place to view the marsh birds and the colors of the sunset. A great place to get away and have a quiet glass of wine. Just around the corner is a small office or kids' bunk room. Two guest bedrooms with Jack and Jill bathroom, each has its own toilet and sink. A shared shower is in between. This home has a very large second master bedroom and bathroom. It is currently being used as a media room but is so large that it would be perfect as a second master. It has its own private sunroom which the owner uses as an art studio. It would also be a great place to have a cup of coffee in the sun and enjoy the view. The backyard garden is absolutely beautiful. It was a water feature with benches, lots of flowering grasses, and a stone patio area with fire pit. This garden provides lots of privacy and shade with ancient Live Oaks and spanish moss. This home is everything you could ask for if you're looking for a Charleston style house!
