Consider this stately direct-waterfront townhome in popular Windmill Harbour Plantation, situated to enjoy some of the most dramatic and stunning Calibogue Sound water views available in this charming Charleston-style, sidewalk community!
This stunning, quintessential, 18th-Century architectural-style townhome boasts superb curb appeal with its center-location front-entry steps, its symmetrical, elevated design, and its complementary land/hardscapes including symmetrical, mature landscaping and integrated forked driveway. This special townhome is situated on a spectacular Sound-view homesite that additionally enjoys bonus-views from the front of the property over to the locked-harbor/marina in this active boating community.
The property is along a quiet, private lane via a concrete driveway that splits for direct access to the twin, tandem-2-car garage bays located on either side of the center staircase leading to the main living level above. Ornate, meticulously-manicured landscaping lines both driveways, while an aggregate-stone walkway between the driveways provides access to the column and spindle accented stairway to the covered front porch. A beautiful all-wood front door is paired with twin leaded-glass sidelights and an overhead transom as it welcomes you into the home. The spacious front porch is accented with fluted columns, twin sconce lights, and recessed lighting, while the front door features a screen-door that welcomes waterfront breezes to flow through the home.
The light, bright, sun-filled entry foyer sets the tone for quality throughout this beautiful home, featuring Heart Pine flooring, detailed crown and chair moldings, and smooth finish ceilings with recessed lighting. The entry hall flows from the foyer to the great room on the main living level, providing access to a guest bedroom/den, guest bath, elevator stop (with double-opening), and ultimately leads to the home’s dramatic great room.
The great room is an open-style design, accommodating excellent space for formal living, casual living, and casual dining…all situated to enjoy the commanding waterfront views. This light and bright room features a continuation of Heart Pine flooring, smooth finish ceilings with integrated audio/lighting/fan fixtures, twin sets of built-in bookcases and cabinetry flanking a marble-surround gas fireplace, a built-in entertainment center, built-in display cases, and even a dedicated electronics closet.

Finished with Ipe hardwood flooring, the spacious back deck enjoys metal railings, rounded columns, a wood-paneled covered area with recessed lighting, and spectacular water and marsh views that literally reach for miles and miles.
The recently–expanded and renovated Chef’s kitchen is a center-island design that includes a custom-designed breakfast bar/buffet/wet-bar side-bar, finished with a gorgeous granite countertop. Featuring all-wood, custom cabinetry, this granite-finished kitchen is packed with quality throughout, featuring Heart Pine flooring, decorator pendant lighting, smooth finish ceiling with recessed lighting, custom tumbled-tile backsplash, and a full complement of high-end appliances including GE Monogram fridge/freezer with indoor ice and water service, Dacor stainless steel double wall oven, Dacor stainless steel five-burner gas cook top with downdraft vent, Thermador warming oven, KitchenAid stainless steel dishwasher, and a GE trash compactor.

This comfortable space is finished with plush carpeted flooring, smooth finish ceiling with recessed lighting and overhead fan, floor to ceiling window with plantation shutters, and extensive built-in bookcases/cabinetry, including a hidden doorway to the adjacent guest bathroom.
