Located on cove creek, this stephen herlong custom designed home offers everything to enjoy island living on the creek! Built in 2007, this stunning home was impeccably planned with attention to detail to retain the architectural heritage of sullivan's island, giving it the feel of an old lighthouse keeper's home with every modern convenience. Its design showcases the sweeping panorama of the creek, marsh, intracostal waterway and even the ravenel bridge from all levels. Window-filled walls and glass doors open onto ample porches, along with a ground level outdoor living space with pool, spa and deep-water dock providing endless sunset opportunities. The inverted floor plan features 4,379 heated square feet of gracious living space with three bedrooms and a cozy den on the second floor of the raised dwelling and the main living areas on the third floor above. The open floor plan on the main living area allows for an unbroken view with only a large island subtly demarcating the gourmet kitchen and living area. There is also a large family room and guest bedroom on this level creatively designed for flexibility in function. The master bedroom on the story below reflects the island's heritage by seamlessly incorporating it into the four story "lighthouse" turret while having the octagonal room resemble a sleeping porch commonly found on old beach cottages. Windows surround three sides of the room to take in the water view and walls are painted cedar shake, which along with rough finished wooden ceiling, reinforces the porch feel. On the opposite side of the master bedroom is an intimate den dubbed "the morning kitchen" that's great for early coffee or an evening movie. The two additional bedrooms each have their own small study and separate bathrooms. The ground floor boasts a small swimming pool and hot tub overlooking the family dock. An outdoor fireplace is nestled in a corner and a recessed television allows for great outdoor living and takes advantage of the views while still staying sheltered. Simply put, this house can be stated as being "gracious without being ostentatious; functional without sacrificing form; rustic without being unsophisticated but most importantly, there's that view that constantly recalls the joys of living in the heart of the low country."
