203 Black Tupelo Ln

The winsome European estate at 203 Black Tupelo Lane enchants on all fronts. Newly—and exquisitely—built in 2021, it enjoys stunning views over vast marshes as well as hole no. 13 of the world-class Cassique course.

Outside, its nearly one acre of premier land embraces a saltwater infinity pool that can be both heated and cooled, flanked by a pool deck of silver travertine tile and ipe wood and a full summer kitchen under the shade of a portico, and a walled garden with a boules court, firepit, pebble and brick walkways, and native plants. The highly walkable landscape was designed by historic Charleston architect Glen Gardner.

The exterior of the home itself, designed by esteemed Island architect Clay Shackleford, incorporates a myriad of thoroughly charming Arts and Crafts details, including a stucco finish with light shelling, beautifully cedar-shingled roof, porthole and clerestory windows, Carolina Gas lanterns at the front entryway, garden gate, and portico, wooden carriage garage doors, and parking court.

Inside, the high-end details continue with American oak hardwood, Henselstone windows, and custom window treatments throughout the residence.

A custom-designed, gracefully curving staircase greets guests in the airy foyer, and the great room with its high, wood-beamed ceiling opens up through a cased opening. The living room enjoys a fireplace with a stone surround, custom-built in bookcase, and Sonos speaker system, and the adjacent dining space easily seats six with a sidebar for serving.

Lining the living and dining spaces is a wide wall of nearly floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening to the rear pool deck with a steel-cable railing enhancing the views.

Open to one side, the adjacent portico shades a summer kitchen with 30-inch gas grill, 24-inch refrigerator, sink, quartz countertop, and Sonos speaker system.

The residence’s open kitchen is stunning with immaculate white cabinetry, beautifully veined quartz backsplash and waterfall island with porcelain farmhouse sink and breakfast bar seating for three, and black granite perimeter countertops. White subway tiles line the rest of the walls, surrounding two tall windows with lush green views, and the custom cabinetry contains thoughtful details including a spice drawer, stepladder, and hidden appliances. The top-tier fixture appliances include a 43-inch Le Cornue Fe 100 gas range, 36-inch Thermador refrigerator, Thermador silent dishwasher, Thermador microwave, and instant hot water dispenser. The kitchen also enjoys a Sonos speaker system.

Just around the corner is a wine vestibule with antique French chandelier, two wine refrigerators, custom glass-fronted cabinetry for barware, and C.A. Voysey wallpaper. Beyond that is a laundry room with ceramic tile flooring laid in chevron pattern, custom cabinetry, retractable ironing board, retractable clotheslines, and Electrolux washer and dryer.

To the other side of the great room lies the residence’s study. Lined with floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the spectacular views, it includes a desk area with porthole window and glass doors opening to the pool deck.

Here, pocket doors lead to the home’s airy primary suite with a window seat overlooking the stunning marsh views. In the immaculate bath, shiplap walls of white, his-and-hers vanities, and strikingly dark-framed windows welcome relaxation. The graceful standalone tub, privately sited beneath oak-shaded windows, is a Waterworks Margaux seventy-inch soaking tub. Additional features of the suite include custom bookshelves, California Closets, and a Sonos speaker system.

A corner guest suite also graces the main floor. It’s simply stunning with two walls of windows framing the breathtaking views, clerestory windows, chandelier, and clean-lined bath with white shiplap walls.

Finishing the main floor is the home’s powder room with its Restoration Hardware marble-topped vanity, hardware, and C.A. Voysey wallpaper.

Take the home’s elevator or staircase to the second floor to discover the second and third guest suites, and a children’s bunking area.

Enjoying even more spectacular views of the marsh from the top-floor windows, the guest suites each feature a tray ceiling and row of windows across one bedroom wall. In one, the windowed bath features clean white cabinetry, sink, and walls, a strikingly French-tiled floor, and frameless-glass walk-in shower; in the other, the windowed bath offers his-and-hers sinks and a bathtub with handheld showerhead and custom glass half-doors.

The children’s bunking area includes four extra-large, built-in twin bunk beds with custom headboards upholstered in C.A. Voysey fabric, shiplap walls, and a windowed game area with a television tucked away in its own nook. The area can be closed off with pocket doors.

The residence’s fourth guest suite is charmingly situated over the dehumidified garage. It enjoys its own sitting area beneath windows spanning the width of the wall, a charmingly slanted ceiling, bath with flooring by Waterworks, and its own kitchenette with Waterworks kitchen backsplash, custom cabinetry, sink, microwave, and undercounter refrigerator. As with all the guest suites, a generously sized closet with chest of drawers, shelves, and hanging areas offers ample storage.

Additional features of this four-thousand-square-foot estate, offered fully furnished, include tree landscape lighting, a five-zone irrigation system including flower pots, a 500-gallon propane tank, tankless water heaters, a fireproof safe, and dehumidified crawl space.

Beautifully situated in the Island’s coveted Cassique community for privacy, this estate enjoys close proximity to world-class dining and golf, tennis, swimming, and kayaking. Outside the Cassique gates, picturesque bicycle trails wind past serene marshes and the Kiawah River to additional dining, boutique shopping, high-end services, and upscale inn in Freshfields Village.

A Kiawah Island Club Sports Membership is available with the purchase of this property. This home will also be partially furnished as well.
