32 Ocean Course Dr

The three-story Island estate at 32 Ocean Course Drive sits on nearly an acre along Kiawah’s private eastern tip between the vast expanse of the Atlantic, blue waters of Bass Creek and its meandering tidal creeks, and world-renowned Ocean Course, offering stunning views in nearly every direction.

Renovated in 2023 and 2024, the six-thousand-square-foot home enjoys outdoor living spaces in spades, from multiple sunlit decks, a heated pool—redone in 2023—and beautifully appointed outdoor kitchen with cooktop and grill on the first floor up to a wide covered porch on the top level.

Mature, professionally done landscaping lends additional privacy to the estate. Timelessly walled in cedar shakes, the home offers a welcome both warm and grand with the two arms of its iron-balustraded imperial staircase, leading to a covered porch, fanlight-topped glass entry doors, and soaring foyer.

Graceful white crown molding extends throughout the interior and finely appointed flooring—including wide-plank oak flooring stained a rich brown and ceramic tile polished to a magnificent sheen—throughout the living areas.

The three-story foyer dazzles with an exquisite curving staircase with artful balustrade, a soaring overlook, fifteen-light Empire chandelier, and views straight out to the covered rear terrace and pool deck through multiple sets of glass doors and nearly floor-to-ceiling windows. Coming off the pool by the grill, you have a wet room, with a sink, refrigerator, microwave and other essentials which proves useful when hosting a party or large gathering.

The estate’s main living level is found on the second floor, taking advantage of the nearly continuous water views.

Little outdone by the towering foyer, the expansive living room—45 feet wide and 27 feet deep—itself rises two stories, filled with windows offering three different angles of views to the Atlantic, and two overlooks of its own from the third story. There are two separate conversation areas, and a set of glass doors open to a wide, sunny balcony extending nearly the width of the home.

The kitchen and dining room each open to one side. In the kitchen, a center island with sink and curving breakfast bar offers seating for three, twin coffee nooks flank a windowed homework area to one side, and to the rear is a spacious breakfast room whose windows offer four different angles on the seaside and golf views. The countertops are of granite and the cabinetry painted in cream. The appliances—all new in 2023—include a stainless gas cooktop with custom hood and backsplash, double wall ovens, undercounter microwave, dishwasher, and paneled refrigerator with dispenser. The peninsula opening to the kitchen contains a prep sink.

In the adjacent dining room, the table easily seats eight in upholstered comfort, and two tall EuroCave® wine coolers are set into the sidebar cabinetry. The room is awash in openings: a gracefully arched set of glass doors leads to a Juliet balcony with serene marsh views, a curved half-wall opens above to the soaring foyer, and an additional glass door leads to a sunroom with a sunlit sitting area.

The primary suite takes up the eastern wing of this level. In the spacious bedroom, large windows offer four more angles on an ocean effortlessly viewable from a sitting area, writing desk, and king bed. The generously sized bath, new in 2024, features clean-lined Shaker cabinetry in pale taupe, his-and-hers sinks set amid their own cabinetry towers, a sleek white soaking tub set below windows and a lampshaded chandelier, a beautifully tiled walk-in rainshower with built-in seat and additional handheld showerhead, two full-height display niches ideal for beach finds and stacks of fluffily fresh towels, his-and-hers walk-in closets, and a windowed water closet. A set of arched glass doors opens to a Juliet balcony overlooking Bass Creek.
A powder room with above-basin sink completes the second level.

The third floor contains the home’s interior spaces dedicated to entertaining, whether for intimate family evenings or grand hosted events. First is a billiards room whose glass door opens to the top-level covered balcony with its breathtaking views. Glass-balustraded overlooks gaze across to the wide arched window of the living room, offering bird’s eye views of holes no. 11 and no. 18 of The Ocean Course and sea. To the opposite side, another arched window showcases the tranquil marshes and tidal creeks of Bass Creek. White built-in shelving line one wall, and billiards pendants light the pool table.

Open to the billiards room is the game room. Nineteen feet long and flooded with light from windows on opposite sides, offering yet more incredible views, it offers a game table set beside built-in shelving ideal for a game wall, itself beside a dartboard and additional game nook.

The estate’s media room completes the third level. Twenty-five feet in length, it features rows of windows showcasing water views on opposite sides, arched openings overlooking the living room, and a beverage area with undercounter refrigerator and sink.

The first floor houses the guest quarters. Its forty-one-foot-deep entry hall, gorgeously tiled in ceramic tile polished to a high sheen, includes glass doors and windows opening to the triple-layered rear terrace and pool deck, a guest sitting room framed by columns and lined with its own windows, and a partially enclosed kitchenette with dishwasher, microwave, sink, paneled dishwasher, and plentiful light-hued cabinetry, plus its own glass door to the rear terrace.

Each of the three guest quarters are beautifully appointed, spacious, and welcoming. The corner suite to the east is a serene sanctuary in soothing hues reminiscent of sand and beach, with windows on two walls, a glass door opening to the rear terrace, and windowed bath with a walk-in alcove shower. The corner suite to the west also enjoys views out to two sides, including through its own glass door to the rear terrace, and a similarly appointed bath. The third guest bedroom with its sitting area is flooded with natural light from windows providing views in four directions and glass doors opening to a side sundeck awash in sea breezes. Its bath, with its own walk-in alcove shower, doubles as a hallway bath and opens from the bedroom’s hallway-cum-foyer with artwork wall niche.

Completing the first floor is a delightfully appointed laundry room. New in 2024, it stretches nineteen feet, lined with cabinetry done in French blue and windows along two walls. It contains a sidethir-by-side washer and dryer, ample storage and countertop space, and a utility sink with pull-down faucet.

Additional features of this ideally placed estate, awash in spectacular views and offered fully furnished, include a workshop area in the ground-level four-car garage, mudroom, extra parking in the drive, elevator to all floors, impact-rated windows and doors, and sound, security, and irrigation systems. Nearby are the perennially popular Beach Club with its world-class dining and beachside cocktails, and strikingly designed Marsh House with its soaring roof lines, cocktail bar, grill, outdoor fireplace, and infinity pool deck overlooking the wide marsh and a tree line reminiscent of the African savanna.
