155 Bufflehead Dr

The two-story residence at 155 Bufflehead Drive enjoys its own heated pool, spa, and pool house on nearly three-quarters of an acre just a hop, skip, and jump from Kiawah’s pristine beach.

Beautifully sited just across the lane from a tree-lined walk leading straight to boardwalk no. 32, the waves of the Atlantic Ocean are just a three-minute bicycle ride away along the trail… or take a shortcut to boardwalk no. 33 and shave off a minute.

This home oozes Southern hospitality with a wide wraparound porch topped by a ceiling of historic Charleston blue beadboard and large bowed window. Porthole windows accent the gray shingle-style exterior, and a windowed front door of dark-stained wood bid all welcome.

Inside, the two-story foyer is flooded with sunlight from two floors of windows. Straight ahead is the lovely, light-filled living room with clean white crown molding, a fireplace flanked by white built-in bookshelves, and two walls of windows. Glass doors lead to the expansive pool deck to one side, and a screened porch on the other. Open to the kitchen and dining room, the flow is ideal for entertaining.

The dining area, with its striking round dining table seating eight beneath a tiered chandelier, also features two walls of windows, including a glass door leading to a screened porch with a round al fresco table seating six, just steps from an outdoor grill. A door from the screened porch also leads to the home’s wraparound porch.

The kitchen is airy with its pale stone countertops, butcher-block center island with prep sink, and cream-colored cabinetry. The room’s centerpiece is the wide gas cooktop with dual ovens and matching hood. There’s also a large side-by-side refrigerator, undercounter microwave, and dishwasher, each of stainless steel. Windows looking out onto sun-dappled green leaves above the sink make a quick cleanup a delight, and the backsplash is of glass subway tile.

Also on this floor is the high-ceilinged primary suite with glass doors opening to a private screened porch, itself opening to the pool deck, surrounded for privacy by trees native to Kiawah. The suite’s bath is cool and lovely with a soaking tub set beneath tree-shaded windows and a sparkling chandelier, a white vanity with a wide stone countertop, and windowed walk-in shower. The bath also includes a walk-in closet and private laundry room.

On the second floor is the residence’s private family room, with windows on three walls looking out onto the treetops. French doors open to a second-story covered balcony overlooking the pool deck.

Four spacious bedroom suites are also found upstairs. The first also enjoys its own entrance to the second-story balcony, his-and-her sinks, walk-in shower, and a striking pale chandelier in its classic black-and-white bath. The second and third suites enjoy even wider walk-in showers in similarly hued baths. The fourth suite is perfect for visiting children, with two sets of bunk beds, twin sinks in the bath, and a row of bedroom windows overlooking the blue waters of the pool.

Additional features of this 4,200-square-foot home, offered fully furnished, include an elevator to all floors, side-entry garage, full laundry rooms with utility sinks on both floors, and extra storage space on the ground level.
