Beneath the canopy of Kiawah’s maritime forest in Marsh Island Woods, 81 Wax Myrtle Court offers the privacy of a quiet cul-de-sac and the serenity of treetop views. Built in 1989, this home was not only fully renovated but expanded in 2018. The expansion includes the entire primary suite, portico, office and the full second floor. Located behind the second security gate of Vanderhorst Plantation, 81 Wax Myrtle pairs island-living ease with modern design and high-end finishes. With its storybook façade of shingle siding, this striking residence captures the timeless romance of a coastal retreat. Inside, the floor plan is designed to balance openness and privacy. Generous, light-filled living and dining spaces open seamlessly to a broad deck, perfectly suited for al fresco dining beneath the foliage. Positioned at the heart of the main level, the kitchen is both functional and inviting, with custom cabinetry, a marble-topped island, stainless-steel appliances, an adjoining pantry and a nearby laundry room. The primary suite is tucked into its own wing with an expansive walk-in closet and generously sized bath. Two additional en suite bedrooms and a home office round out the main level. The second floor offers a retreat of its own. A spacious family room serves as a natural gathering place, complemented by two more en suite bedrooms. Balconies extend outward, creating quiet perches above the canopy and framing the home’s sense of seclusion. On the ground level, a large garage provides space for vehicles, golf carts, and storage. An elevator connects the first two floors, ensuring comfort and accessibility throughout. Enhanced through 2025 with updates including dual water heaters with automated leak detection, automated water shut off system, exterior automatic lighting sensor, a 2023 exterior repaint, front exterior stair racking, ADT security, lighting upgrades, and a 220 electric outlet with Tesla port in the garage, the home spans 3,800 heated square feet with six bedrooms and six full baths. Set on nearly a quarter acre, the home is minutes from championship golf, the Island’s 10 miles of pristine beach, and miles of scenic trails that wind through maritime forest and marsh. With its rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and resort-style amenities, this coveted address captures the very essence of Kiawah living.
