Oceanfront home on Kiawah Island on the market for $20 million south of Charleston | Immovable
A beachfront home on a rare double lot on Kiawah Island is now on the market for $20 million.
It’s not a record price for the gated resort community for multi-million dollar mansions, but it’s close. The record selling price is held by the Vanderhorst Manorsold last year for $20.5 million.
It’s also not the first time the 10,500-square-foot home at 133 Flyway Drive has been listed. In 2017, the asking price was $22 million. Last year, the list price was $19 million.
Based in Charleston Daniel Ravenel Sotheby’s International Realty has the most recent list. The agency’s Middleton Rutledge is the listing agent.
The 2.07-acre property features 200 feet of ocean frontage and a 400-foot private driveway beyond the island’s second gate. The home features nine bedrooms and nine and a half bathrooms.
“Demand and value in the waterfront market has increased significantly over the past 24 months,” Rutledge said. “The last two sales of a single oceanfront lot on Kiawah were $7.5 million and $8.5 million.”
The grandeur of the home includes a wall of patio doors and windows overlooking the ocean to the 2 1/2 story barrel vaulted ceiling, creating one great room anchored at each end by chimneys.
The master suite encompasses the entire east wing of the second floor, offering a foyer, dedicated dressing room and living area and a spacious bedroom with French door access to a private covered plaza. Marble flooring, dual sinks, a frameless glass shower, and a separate soaking tub make up the master bathroom.
The estate’s outdoor amenities include a summer kitchen with a Lynx Sedona gas grill, an oceanfront saline pool with a travertine surround, a separate pool house, and a manicured back lawn with a walkway leading to the beach.
Ownership last changed hands in 2007 and the home is currently owned by a resident of Greenwich, Connecticut, according to Charleston County land records.
