202 High Dunes Lane, Kiawah Island, SC 29455 - Charleston County

Strikingly designed in 2023, 202 High Dunes is a beautifully constructed home at the eastern tip of Kiawah Island. This expansive, 4,282 square-foot home enjoys serene water views from its many floor-to-ceiling windows, infinity-edge heated saltwater pool, and expansive outdoor living spaces.

Nestled among native Island trees on the edge of a tranquil lagoon, it also enjoys special privacy; not only located near the far tip of a neighborhood, but on its own corner nook of a lagoon. Across the waters to the south is green space; to the southeast is a lush peninsula extending out into the lagoon,, providing additional privacy screening.

As you pull into the drive of this modern shingle-sided, Tabby-stucco accented home, you’ll notice its standing-seam metal roof as you ascend the front stairs to a privately set-in Fleetwood ® glass-doored entrance. Inside, the immaculate interior is flooded with natural light and yet warmly lit, with ceilings, lending an ambience of modern luxury.

Straight ahead, through the clean-lined foyer with its non-obtrusive staircase, is the living room, striking with its mother-of-pearl wallpapered inlay tray ceiling with cove lighting, warmly designed contemporary gas fireplace, floating bookshelves, wall sconces, and floor of coated concrete. Floor-to-ceiling, dark-limned windows and glass doors offer pristine views of the rear terrace, in-deck pool, and lagoon.

Open to the living room, the dining room is intimate and magnificent, with one side of the space showcasing an antiqued mirrored sidebar, complete with floating shelves, and sleek cabinetry in tones of light slate blue. On the other side, you have additional built-in cabinetry, with a view that peers through to the kitchen. Designed to comfortably sit eight, this dining room is equally ideal for family dinners or holiday functions.

All finishes and furnishings—included with the purchase of the property—evoke nature and the outdoors: soothing hues of water and sand, warm wood tones of forest, organic shades of stone, the textures of sweeping seagrass.

A cased entrance of white oak wood leads from the dining room to the kitchen. Step through and feel your breath whisk away as the soaring two-story space opens up before you. Natural light floods down through clerestory windows on all sides, lights from a modern chandelier dangle down from the highest point of the ceiling, and multiple sets of glass doors open to the pool deck. Tall windows also flank the custom steel hood and gas cooktop, and to the third side of the space is a row of floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening to a spacious, wood-ceilinged screened porch with floor-to-ceiling outdoor fireplace—also gas or wood burning—and 245-degree views of the lagoon.

A centerpiece of this spectacular space is the wide, curved banquette of Macaubas® quartzite, built into the center island with its wide single-basin sink. This additional eating space itself easily seats eight at its round table. All appliances are of stainless steel or paneled to match the pale, sea blue, clean-lined cabinetry: the six-burner cooktop, refrigerator freezer drawers, stacked wall oven and microwave, and wine cooler. A pantry offers yet more storage space.

The primary suite is also on this level and is a private sanctuary. The room is airy and spacious with a wall of glass doors opening to the rear terrace that can be closed off at any time with floor length curtains, and features open bookshelves, wood flooring, and an additional row of windows framing the treetops.Its bath is even more stunning, with a standalone soaking tub surrounded by transomed windows, his-and-hers sinks beneath a wide mirror extending to the high ceiling, sleek vanity drawers providing plentiful storage space, and an enormous frameless-glass rain shower with multiple shower heads and two glass doors offering entrance. The tile work in this bathroom compliments the ocean views nearby with its blue hues and wavy texture.

Completing the main floor is a chandeliered powder room, windowed laundry room with sink and fresh-hued cabinetry, and a guest suite to delight any friend of the family. There, a wall of windows frames native Island trees, wood flooring and gracefully simple crown molding add to the welcoming modern ambience, and the bath features a generously sized, unique barn-door frameless-glass shower.

Ascend the clean-lined staircase, tucked away to one side of the foyer, with its shiplap walls and individually lit stair treads, to the second level. A spacious hallway with long study desk overlooking, through glass privacy panels evoking seagrass, a sunny wall of windows above the stair, leads to three guest bedrooms and a bunkroom.

The first guest suite, anchoring one end of the level, is beautifully simple and cozy at once, with natural textures, views of the treetops, and a windowed bath with a frameless glass walk-in shower lined in streamlined tile. The floor’s second guest suite is awash in hues of serene, sweeping seagrass, and enjoys a glass door opening to the home’s wide second-story balcony overlooking the pool and lagoon. Its bath features a shower with custom mosaic tile of gracefully dangling branches and leaves.

The third bedroom, currently set up as a nursery filled with natural light from a wall of glass doors opening to the rear balcony, would also serve as an outstanding second-story private family sitting room or home office.

The media room, capping the far end of the hallway, also enjoys its own glass door to the balcony—featuring a mini kitchenette or coffee bar. There, tucked into a hallway, a microwave and coffee pod machine sit atop a wide countertop above ample cabinetry; shelves line the wall above. The hallway bath with its charming angled, white-wainscoted walls, features a frameless-glass bathtub and shower.

Completing the second level, the bunkroom serves as an ideal space for children. Four built-in bunks line the white shiplap walls between a window overlooking the treetops; access to the top bunks is via built-in side stairs with built-in drawers and cubbies. There’s a small media area with beanbags and wall-mounted flatscreen TV, and the ceiling is beautifully painted in bright watercolors.
