26 Beachwood W

Not all beach homes are created equal, as this beautiful custom built fortress by the sea will testify. Dip your toes into the white sand of an uncrowded beach, a short 3 minute walk from your front door. Walk, bike or take your golf cart to the nearby shops, restaurants and pool, or head over for a game of golf or tennis at the nearby country and racquet clubs. This home was built at one of the highest elevations on the island using 2x6 construction, structural steel I-beams, Pella windows, storm shutters, a pier and beam foundation with concrete block supporting interior & exterior walls, cedar siding and an 18' base flood elevation. In addition to integrity, this home was built to entertain with wrap-around screened-in porches, an elevator, a grand formal living room bathed in natural

light with two-story vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, formal dining room and a media room/library. The owner's suite is located on the main floor and features a large walk-in closet, private porch to enjoy the ocean breeze, and a separate study which could be used as a 4th bedroom. The owner's bath is spacious with a shower, jacuzzi tub, bidet and two separate water closets. The kitchen is a chef's delight with recently updated appliances including a gas range, low-decibel Bosch dishwasher, Thermador wall oven with warming drawer, and a Subzero refrigerator with cabinet overlay. The second floor is perfect for guests with two bedrooms, large walk-in closets, a Jack'n'Jill bathroom with a dual vanity, steam shower/sauna, and separate water closets. The home also features a four-car tandem garage with an outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach, a freshly painted exterior, brand new water heater, 2018 HVAC, 2015 roof, whole house water filtration, elegant mature landscaping and a Zen Garden. This home is well cared for and has never been a rental. Downtown Charleston and the airport are approximately 30 minutes away. Wild Dunes is a walkable and bike-friendly community connected with miles of paved paths. Consider coming to see why Beachwood is one of the most desirable neighborhoods within all of Wild Dunes.
