1312 Middle Street

Beautiful beach house on Sullivan's Island. Located in the coveted south end of the island near Fort Moultrie, yet just minutes from the beach, restaurants and shops in the main part of town. Handsomely landscaped yard with alley access from Station 13. Expansive wrap around porches make for enjoyable outdoor living. Inside, intricately patterned Bolivian cherry floors are accented with maple hardwoods. Windows, doors and cabinets boast extensive moldings that add to the level of detail in the home. Formal living and dining rooms flank a columned entry with a Tiffany dragonfly-style chandelier. The living room has a soaring vaulted ceiling and gas fireplace. The dining room has ceiling trim and a medallion, chair rail molding and a bay window.

Doors are surrounded with bullseye corners and pediment with seashell keys -- a design detail that is repeated in the fireplace surrounds. An open kitchen with breakfast bar connects to a family room with a second gas fireplace across the back of the house. The custom kitchen features Dacor stainless steel appliances including a 5-burner gas cooktop and wall oven with warming drawer. There is also a wine cooler and 4 sinks with gooseneck faucets. A screened porch large enough for seating and dining areas is accessible from both the family room and the master bedroom. It features recessed lighting and ceiling fans. An outdoor kitchen with a grill and refrigerator/freezer are on the adjoining deck. The master suite is downstairs. A lovely archway opens to a spa-like master bathroom with dual vanities, a generous jetted tub, a massive rain shower head, separate powder room and walk-in closets with a stacked washer and dryer. The marble floor has an attractive inlaid compass design detail. A potential second master bedroom with en suite bath is on the second floor, along with 2 other bedrooms (one with a seating area) that share a Jack & Jill bath. All rooms access 2 additional porches. The stair landing has a built-in bookcase and second laundry closet. An elevator services from the ground level to the second floor. The third floor has 2 more rooms and a full bath. It makes a perfect guest suite or a separate space for kids. The icing on the cake is a rooftop deck, or widow's walk, with 360 degree views of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway and downtown Charleston. Underneath the residence, a 3 bay garage accommodates parking for 5 vehicles, plus an additional 2 openings for golf carts. There is also plenty of storage. A tabby patio provides more outdoor living space. The grassy front and back yards have attractive landscaping and even a fountain.
