76 Salthouse Ln, Kiawah Island, SC 29455 - Charleston County

This impeccable residence at 76 Salthouse Lane, renovated to even more luxurious standards in 2024, lies nestled among Island trees beside the blue waters of an Island lagoon at the tip of hole no. 16 of the Tom Fazio-designed River Course.

Outside, this 4,300-square-foot estate is immaculate with freshly painted shingle siding, copper roofing, magnificent carriage doors, ample outdoor living spaces, and a gorgeous combination of manicured hedges, maritime plantings, and stone walking paths on nearly two-thirds of an acre of coveted land within the quintessential Kiawah community of The Settlement.

A covered front porch with handsome square paneled columns and glass-paneled entry doors leads into a two-story foyer with a sunlit main staircase lined with a wrought-iron balustrade incorporating artful marsh grass and heron details. The dark-stained wide-plank hardwood flooring and thick, graceful molding stretch throughout the residence.

Straight ahead is the estate’s freshly painted gathering room, where a gas fireplace, flanked by white built-in cabinetry and shelving, lies beneath a coffered ceiling in Nantucket blue with white beams. Soft upholstered seating in hues of ocean froth and seawater easily seats ten, and a wall of transomed windows and glass doors opens to a wide, multi-level rear deck framed by a clean-lined iron rail.

The kitchen opens up from the gathering room through an expansive cased opening. It’s pristine with freshly repainted white ceiling-height cabinetry, marble countertops, and stainless appliances including a gas six-burner cooktop with custom hood, wall oven, built-in microwave, and mini beverage refrigerator below a coffee-making station. The Sub-Zero® refrigerator is paneled to match the cabinetry, and the large center island holds the main sink, prep sink, and a breakfast bar seating four; there’s also an instant-hot-water outlet for coffee or tea. A pantry is to one side, and a sidebar serving area, in handsomely dark-stained wood with glass-fronted cabinetry, is to the other. Just down the stairs, off the main hall, is a cooled 1000 bottle wine room.

The dining room is open to the kitchen. Here, a barrel-vaulted shiplap ceiling with cove lighting rises overhead, above a round dining table seating up to eight in upholstered comfort. Windows and glass doors—leading to the rear deck to one side and to a high-ceilinged, seamlessly screened porch with an outdoor kitchen including a 42-inch stainless steel grill with side burner, marble countertop, and new cabinetry, to another—give the space the feeling of a sunroom.

The estate’s study and media room represent two more delights on the main level. In the sunlit study, glass doors open to a side covered balcony, and there’s a wall of antiqued custom cabinetry in pale blue-green. The media room can be accessed via a hallway that also contains a sunny window nook, windowed laundry room with sink and ample cabinetry, and entry to the ground level staircase. Here charmingly angled, white shiplap ceilings and windows on three sides surround a wide space for entertaining. There’s a coffee and beverage bar with sink, built-in white bookshelves, desk, a media closet, and next door, extra storage space and a bath with shower and marble-topped vanity.

The main-floor primary bedroom, tucked away in the rear corner for privacy, opens to the beautiful views and rear deck via a wall of glass-paneled doors and windows. The suite enjoys a brand new bath with heated floor, spacious frameless-glass shower, his-and-hers sinks, water closet, bench with built-in storage, built-in cabinetry in the his-and-hers walk-in closets, and linen closet. The showerheads and faucets each enjoy near-instant hot water.

Take either the main staircase or elevator to the second floor to find three guest suites with charmingly angled ceilings set cozily under the eaves. The primary guest suite features his and hers sinks, a walk-in shower, and walk-in closet. Double doors open to the center guest suite, where glass-windowed doors lead to a rear balcony with iron rail and twin glass pineapple lanterns, a signature symbol of Southern hospitality, overlooking the gorgeous views. It also enjoys a walk-in shower and walk-in closet. The third suite features a tub in its newly remodeled bath.

Additional features of this luxurious, newly painted and wallpapered home, offered fully furnished, include almost entirely new furniture, carpet, chandeliers, lighting fixtures, and ceiling fans; completely remodeled powder room and one second-floor guest suite; new cedar-lined closets in both main and second-floor halls; new study desk, gathering room curtains, and tastefully ornamented handrails to the center bedroom; LED recessed lighting; ground-level room divisions; a side-entry two-car garage with epoxy floor, workbench, and wall of custom cabinetry; four tankless water heaters; whole-house generator; two ground-level dehumidifiers and one attic dehumidifier; Ring® surveillance system with five outdoor cameras; updated Sonos® sound, entertainment, and IT systems; impact-rated windows, and leaf-filtered gutters as well as landscape irrigation.

Beautifully sited among The Settlement’s hedge-lined lanes, meandering golf course, serene marshes, and picturesque riverside, it’s just down the lane from world-class amenities including the exclusive Sasanqua Day Spa, superb River clubhouse dining and fitness room, and the fishing dock on picturesque Bass Pond. The five-star Sanctuary, Roy Barth Tennis Center, and boardwalk no. 28 to Kiawah’s beach are within a ten-minute bicycle ride.
