54 Salt Cedar Ln, Kiawah Island, SC 29455

Set along the winding creeks of Kiawah’s northeastern edge, framed by live oaks and palmettos, 54 Salt Cedar Lane offers a rare retreat where timeless Lowcountry design meets the ease of waterfront living. Within the quiet Falcon Point neighborhood, this home boasts expansive views of the tidal creek, with a shared dock offering effortless access to the water for kayaking, fishing, and enjoying evening cocktails at sunset. Designed by architect Tim Green and built by Bennett Hofford in 1998, the residence spans 3,069 heated square feet and rests on more than half an acre, balancing craftsmanship with comfort in one of the Island’s most private settings. From the drive, the home presents classic shingle-style architecture, with porches and gabled rooflines that reflect traditional Lowcountry design. Mature landscaping surrounds the property, and a series of decks and balconies are positioned to take advantage of morning light and long views across the creek. Inside, the foyer leads directly into the vaulted great room, where exposed beams rise above, creating a sense of scale and drama. To one side, the dining area is framed by windows overlooking the property’s landscaping, creating a bright setting for everyday meals and entertaining. A stone fireplace along the far wall is double-sided, offering a gas hearth inside and a wood-burning hearth on the screened porch, where gatherings extend toward the creek. Glass doors and tall windows brighten the living space, while the porch functions as an outdoor room with its own hearth for cool evenings. From here, steps lead to a lower deck with space for grilling or seating before continuing toward the shared dock. Reclaimed pine floors from The Citadel extend throughout, bringing warmth and character to the open living spaces. The kitchen is designed for both entertaining and everyday ease, with granite countertops, custom wood cabinetry, and professional-grade appliances. A Thermador® cooktop anchors the workspace, supported by Thermador® double ovens and warming drawer, a Bosch® dishwasher, GE® microwave, Sub-Zero® refrigerator/freezer, and U-Line® wine cooler. Opposite the laundry room, a large pantry provides storage, and a convenient grocery lift carries provisions directly from the garage to the kitchen. An adjacent breakfast area provides a casual, cozy space for morning coffee, featuring an oversized picture window that draws in natural light. At the same time, a built-in wet bar framed with glass-front cabinetry links the kitchen to the living spaces, extending both function and flow for entertaining. Two guest suites occupy this level, each with private baths and generous closets. Both are carefully separated from the main gathering areas to ensure privacy, and one opens onto a private seating area on the screened porch, highlighting the connection between interior living and the surrounding landscape. Upstairs, the primary suite is its own retreat, with French doors that open to a private balcony with elevated views. Vaulted ceilings add volume to the bedroom, while dual walk-in closets and a spacious bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower provide comfort and function. A family room on this floor, complete with built-in cabinetry and a sink, adds versatility, suited for media, study, or quiet relaxation. On the third floor, tucked beneath the roofline, a private den offers the feeling of a crow’s nest retreat. At the ground level, the elevated construction allows for a two-car garage, workshop areas, and protected storage for sporting and beach equipment. Throughout, thoughtful details reflect the home’s craftsmanship. A whole-house sound system enhances daily living, while an irrigation system sustains the landscaped grounds. A Kiawah Island Club Golf Membership is available with the purchase of this property, granting access to the Club’s world-class amenities, from championship courses and tennis to dining, spa, and fitness. Unfurnished and move-in ready, 54 Salt Cedar Lane offers an enduring Lowcountry retreat, crafted with care, set against the beauty of Kiawah’s creeks, and equally suited for full-time living or a private coastal escape.
