From the moment you drive onto Folly Beach, crossing over the majestic marsh, and hear the ocean in the background, you'll feel the hectic pace of the day simply fall away. There is no other home built to this standard on Folly!The quiet peacefulness of this pristine Folly Beach home beckons you inside as soon as you glimpse the lush landscaping. Built in 2008 by Roger Prevost, this masterfully built home was designed to be environmentally conscious at its core. Merging craftsmanship with many eco-conscious features and infused with principles of holistic design and feng shui philosophy, you'll know this is exactly where you want to be. A curved path through colorful plantings leads to a spacious and welcoming front porch and the inviting foyer inside this private sanctuary.

The heart of this home lies in the open living space and kitchen. A magnificent hand-troweled concrete fireplace seamlessly transitions into built-in window seats and firewood storage that flank either side. Windows in this beautiful room provide views of the large rear screened porch where you can lounge or dine with guests in view of the marvelous, professionally-designed private garden. From the living space, the spacious state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen featuring 14' vaulted ceilings crafted with washed reclaimed wood and beams. This gorgeous kitchen features top of the line appliances including a Wolf gas stove with convection oven, Bosch dishwasher, Monogram refrigeration, and wet bar with ice maker and wine fridge. Custom Caesar-stone countertops, a large Fossil Stone island, and plentiful storage complete the space. Adjoining the kitchen, the combined pantry and laundry room includes ample storage and is perfect for those who appreciate having the laundry centrally located. The cozy sitting area in the kitchen invites you to lounge with the French doors open or adjourn outside to the covered pavilion. Off the foyer you'll discover a study that's ideal for those that work from home or enjoy a quiet space to read and relax. Easily convert the space into an additional bedroom with full bath located nearby across the foyer hall. Across from the study you'll step into the spacious first floor master bedroom with a hand-troweled textured wall that's the anchor for this retreat. Adjoining master closets with custom shelving were designed for comfort and ease. A beautiful copper and nickel tub anchors the master bath flanked by his and her vanities featuring Bronzino countertops. The large shower feels as if you're stepping into a private grotto. Featuring a Grohe Rain Shower with dual hand and fixed shower heads, tile and slate flooring, and a generous bench, this shower is truly divine. As you wind your way up the impressive staircase, you'll discover the generously sized loft area that's utilized as a secondary living space. With minimal effort, this space could be walled-in to create an additional guest space. Two beautifully appointed guest rooms await guests, one that includes a private ensuite bath, and the other with easy access to the hall bath. In addition, there is a large all-purpose room with adjoining covered porch overlooking the rear yard and views of the incredible gardens. From the rear deck, take a slow walk along the curved pathways of the back garden, designed by Katie Wood Landscapes, and enjoy the soft trickle of the lovely water fountain. Wind your way past the outdoor dining area, the gathering circle, and the lush, environmentally conscious landscaping to the open air Tea House. Tucked away in peaceful solitude, you can enjoy a cup of tea in your own personal paradise. This home, tucked among the mature oaks and palms, is designed to frame spectacular views from every vistapoint. Perfectly sited on the lot, there is a certain seamlessness of moving from indoor space to outdoor, and an opportunity to catch the steady beach breeze that is the hallmark of living on this barrier island. At dusk, the incredible outdoor living space becomes the canvas to witness sunsets of which no two are ever alike. This home is truly a paradise among the palms.
