435 Fountain Grass Ln, Kiawah Island, SC 29455

The recently built home at 435 Fountain Grass Lane features serene water views at Kiawah’s easternmost tip. Rich in outdoor living spaces, this modern, window-lined home enjoys a heated saltwater pool, outdoor fireplace and firepit, and summer kitchen beside an Island lagoon. The property’s main house and guesthouse lie amid native trees on nearly a half acre of prime Ocean Park property. Outside, the home features metal roofs with multiple peaks, a mix of modern vertical and horizontal siding, and stacked-stone chimneys. Its streamlined pool with spa is set into a rear pool deck and lined below by a manicured rear lawn. In a front courtyard, bubbling water flows over the edges of a cast-iron water fountain, and clean cable railings line the outdoor living spaces without obstructing the views. Inside, high and vaulted ceilings, wide-plank flooring, and five-panel groove doors run throughout. The living room is a showpiece of this property. A fully indoor/outdoor space, the entirety of the rear wall can be opened to the pool deck. Expanses of floor-to-ceiling glass on two sides invite natural light inside at any time of day, and a gas fireplace lies in a stone chimney wall. The open transition to the dining room and kitchen is framed by rough-hewn wooden beams. In the kitchen, wooden ceiling beams form a pleasing counterpoint to marble countertops and sleek perimeter countertops of pale wood. A large waterfall center island includes a breakfast bar easily seating four. The oven wall contains a custom marble backsplash and hood above a Wolf® six-burner gas cooktop with griddle and dual ovens. The Bosch® dishwasher and Wolf undercounter microwave are also stainless; the Sub-Zero® refrigerator and full-height Sub-Zero wine cooler are paneled to match the cabinetry. Behind the oven wall is a large windowed butler’s pantry with glassed-in, ceiling-height storage and a coffee station. A wall of dark-framed glass doors along the rear wall of the kitchen, meanwhile, opens to a spectacular screened porch overlooking the lagoon and park views. There, a two-story stacked-stone hearth gas fireplace stretches to the wooden vaulted ceiling—itself complete with outdoor heating elements—and in the adjacent screened dining space is an outdoor kitchen with stainless grill, hood, and ample countertops and cabinetry. The primary suite is also on the main level. The bedroom features a two-story vaulted ceiling and a wall of sliding, dark-framed glass doors opening to the pool deck. Additional windows flank the bed. The bath is serene in dramatically dark hues and includes his-and-hers sinks in a floating vanity beneath twin windows and mirrors, a windowed walk-in rainshower with European half-glass wall, and a windowed, handsome walk-in closet with cabinetry in a classic dark gray. On the way back through from the primary suite, a small powder room is tucked away for guest use. The main house’s first guest suite and home office are accessed via the elevator or foyer staircase. The sunlit bedroom enjoys windows on three sides beneath a vaulted ceiling, and its bath contains a floating vanity and windowed walk-in shower with half-glass wall. The light-filled home office, meanwhile, is stunning with an entire wall lined with windows beneath a vaulted ceiling, and an additional window on another wall. The space would also make an ideal art studio. The second floor, up an additional staircase, contains the main house’s remaining guest quarters along a sun-filled gallery. All of the bedrooms on this floor feature views out to the lagoon. The corner bedrooms each enjoy angled ceilings and windows on two walls, while the center bedroom competes with the eastern one for the best views of the property. There are two full baths on this level. The bath of the eastern suite features a wide walk-in shower behind rolling glass doors; the remaining bedrooms can each access, via pocket doors, a bath with a sleek tub and shower combination behind rolling glass doors. The separate guesthouse—an ideal in-law suite—enjoys dramatically angled vaulted ceilings, windows along three walls, a kitchenette with sink and undercounter wine cooler, and a windowed bath with walk-in shower. A workroom space and golf putting green lie in the garage below. Additional features of this pleasingly landscaped home, offered furnished, include a powder room with hammered metal sink, second-floor laundry room with front-loading washer and dryer set beneath a wide countertop, ground-level foyer and mudroom with a tall wine cooler, garages with wall-mounted bicycle storage, impact-rated windows and doors, and sound and security systems. There’s a spot for an additional vehicle along the curving drive. A Kiawah Island Club Golf Membership is available with the purchase of this property, giving Members access to world-class golf at Cassique and River Course, along with an unmatched collection of amenities including a 9,000-square-foot fitness facility, beach clubs overlooking the ocean, five-star dining experiences, spa, boathouse, Marsh House, and a bed & breakfast located in downtown Charleston.
