68 New Settlement Rd, Kiawah Island, SC 29455 - Charleston County

The immaculate residence at 68 New Settlement Road is pleasingly situated on the lapping waters of Bass Pond. Built in 2019 on nearly a half-acre of premier land, it also enjoys an infinity-edge, heated saltwater pool with curved edge and built-in spa overlooking the picturesque, wide water views.

Outside, the home is equally pleasant with NuCedar® shingle walls, peaked rooflines, standing-seam metal topping the main level, and wooden side-entry garage doors. A welcoming front porch with richly stained wooden ceiling, wall lanterns, and windowed, beautifully stained entry doors beckon guests.

Inside, gorgeous wide-plank hardwood flooring stretches throughout, as do thick white molding and trim and Craftsman painted six-panel interior doors. High ceilings with recessed lighting grace the main level.

A pristine entry hall with walls and ceiling of white shiplap greets family and friends. A staircase with clean-lined cable rail and white shiplap wainscoting rises to the right. Entry to the home’s powder room and home office, plus a seating niche with built-in bench for removing shoes, are also to the right.

Between the foyer and living room is one of the residence’s showpieces: a wine cellar with floor-to-ceiling wooden wine racks, serving niche, and rustic floor tile laid in a herringbone pattern.

The living room opens beyond. Measuring nineteen feet in both directions under a white shiplap ceiling, it features a conversation area fronting a gas fireplace with a gorgeous stacked strip tile surround and built-in bookshelves and cabinetry painted in a sophisticated shade of coastal fog. A wall of modern sliding glass doors opens to the residence’s rear covered terrace with its private outdoor dining room; when fully open, they transform the space into an indoor/outdoor room.

The kitchen is open to both living and dining spaces. Its centerpiece is the chef’s wall, where a Wolf® gas cooktop and dual ovens with potfiller and custom hood are flanked by high windows and strikingly veined backsplash wall. The center island seats three at its breakfast bar, the countertops are of granite, and the cabinetry with its streamlined nickel pulls is stylishly painted in the same coastal hue of light gray. All of the top-tier appliances are of stainless steel, including the Sub-Zero® bottom-freezer refrigerator, Bosch® dishwasher, and Wolf undercounter microwave. A walk-through pantry1 with refrigerator drawers leads to a large laundry room with sink.

In the dining space, topped by a modern glass-bubble chandelier, the table will easily seat eight. A French door opens to the rear terrace, which itself leads to the residence’s screened porch with its outdoor kitchen including sink and refrigerator under a vaulted ceiling of richly stained wooden beadboard. There, modern open-grid seating is ideal for coming from the pool into the shade for cold drinks. The porch’s perimeter is lined with clean cable rail, square columns, and a door leading to the covered terrace.

Beyond the kitchen and dining area is the breakfast nook, offering some of the best views of all the estate. Surrounded by rows of large windows, it’s comfortably furnished for coffee and conversation for four.

The primary suite lies to the opposite side of the living room. Its deep blue accent wall and modern French doors sliding open to the screened porch are striking. Juliet doors open to its bath with his-and-hers sinks separated by ceiling-height cabinetry, a soaking tub with elegant black rim set beneath windows, and a gorgeously tiled walk-in shower with a wide rainshower head and additional handheld shower wand, frameless glass to two sides, and built-in bench. There are also his and hers closets; one has a plantation-shuttered window.

The home office completes the main level. Entirely clad in wood for a private lodge feel, it enjoys plantation-shuttered windows overlooking the treetops to two sides.

The guest quarters and sitting area, all painted a clean, airy white and topped with sleek silver ceiling fans, fill the second floor. There, the white shiplap wainscoting continues in the hall and overlook.

Stylishly black-painted, vertically planked barn doors with nickel pulls open to the center guest suite, currently set up as a guest sitting room with cushioned seating in tones of sea and sky. Glass doors open to a rear balcony with incredible views and an outdoor sitting room. This space shares a bath with a white, streamlined bath and shower with a high window. It’s linked with a corner bedroom and also accessed via a barn door.

The remaining guest suites each enjoy lovely views through plantation-shuttered windows, cozily angled ceilings, and their own access to baths containing beautifully done showers with sliding doors of mounted glass. The corner suites feature his-and-hers closets, and the front suite a walk-in closet.

Additional features of this pristine estate, located in coveted Rhett’s Bluff and offered fully furnished, include an elevator to the first floor, outdoor gas grill, outdoor shower and ceiling fans, impact-rated windows and doors, sound, security, and irrigation systems, tankless water heater, and dehumidifiers inside the ground level.
