Enjoy privacy and connect with nature! This custom-built, well-maintained, marshfront home in boat-friendly Paradise Island in Awendaw boasts an elevator and sweeping marsh views from most rooms and the screened porches and decks, allowing you to view abundant wildlife, gorgeous sunsets and Francis Marion National Forest on the horizon. It offers a true great room, 4 large bedroom suites, a generous family/playroom on the ground floor and 2 laundry rooms. Plus, boaters can access the Wando River from the community boat ramp and dock. As you enter the foyer from the wrap-around front porch, you are welcomed by gleaming oak hardwood floors, custom trim and sweeping marsh views from the French doors and tall windows of the great room before you, with its 2-story cathedral ceiling...... and gas-log fireplace. To its left is the kitchen, with granite counters and entertainment bar, tall cabinetry (including built-in wine racks), S/S appliances, a gas stove, a breakfast area with a corner bay window and a 2nd set of French doors. Two large bedroom suites, 1 with French doors, are located to the right of the great room. The 3 French doors access 2 screened-in porches, the deck that extends between them along the back of the home and the wrap-around front porch. Behind the kitchen, there is a powder room and a large laundry room (the 1st of 2) with cabinets and a sink.

The oak hardwood floors and trim extend to the floor above, where the expansive main suite and the large 4th bedroom suite are found. Both have stunning views and French doors leading to private decks. They are separated by a long landing that also enjoys marsh views through the upper windows of the great room. The main suite has a large ensuite with dual vanities, a jetted tub and a separate shower as well as a very generous walk-in closet. The 4th bedroom, located above the kitchen, features a matching corner bay window. The 2nd laundry is situated between the two suites.

The lower level of the home consists of a large, carpeted family/playroom (plumbed for a bathroom) with French doors opening to a covered patio and fully-fenced area of the backyard where pets can roam freely, a large 2-car garage with space for a workshop and, between them, the lobby for the elevator which services all 3 floors, making it easy to access the home and bring groceries upstairs.
