Sitting on one of the widest homesites on Kiawah’s most famed lanes, the seaside estate at 25 Surfsong Road showcases its unobstructed, stunning ocean views that go on for miles, right as you step through the door.
Exquisitely sited on more than three quarters of an acre, 121 feet in width, this pristine property includes a cedar-shingle-roofed house with a heated in-deck pool and spa set into a travertine terrace, cabana pool house with covered outdoor bar and TV space, perfect for hosting football watch parties, as well as an outdoor dining room, two outdoor showers and a hand shower, covered porches with stained-wood beadboard ceilings and second-story balconies. A travertine ocean boardwalk brings you down through to the firepit and seaside lawn with putting green.
The estate’s four stories include eight bedrooms and extensive built-in cabinetry, but what sets this home apart from the rest is its open floorplan. Each space flows cohesively into the next, presenting a cozy living experience, while also allowing its residents the privacy to each of their suites. Boasting four primary suites, all with their own ocean view balconies, you will be hard pressed to find another home with a layout as unique as 25 Surfsong. Additionally, on the second floor of the home, the outdoor balconies connect, allowing those residing on the second floor to convene for a sunset drink before joining the rest of family downstairs.
Inside, wide-plank wood flooring extends throughout the main floor but for the children’s guest suite. Step into the entry with its thick crown molding and baseboards, wide shiplap walls, windowed front door, and chandelier and the living room opens before you. There, beneath a high ceiling with dark-stained wooden beams, are floor-to-ceiling transomed glass doors and windows, including a wide window seat flooded with sunlight. A gas fireplace with marble surround is flanked with white cabinetry including glass-fronted tops, and a bar counter with seating opens to the home’s pub.
The pub, also accessible from the home’s entry and kitchen area, is topped by a barrel-vaulted ceiling and furnished with wooden cabinetry, ample countertops, a flat-screen TV above a wine glass rack, and an undercounter wine refrigerator.
The expansive kitchen is a centerpiece of the home with floor-to-ceiling white cabinetry and gorgeous granite countertops. Its center island includes a sink and breakfast bar seating seven. The top-tier stainless appliances include a Wolf® gas cooktop beneath a custom hood and tile backsplash, Wolf double oven, Wolf microwave, Bosch® dishwasher, Sub-Zero® refrigerator, and undercounter Sub-Zero wine refrigerator set into a coffee nook with plate rack and open shelving. A gorgeous dark-stained pocket door can close off the kitchen from the hallway leading to the large butler’s pantry with its full-height Sub-Zero wine refrigerator and Thermador® refrigerator. To the other side, glass doors open to the home’s immaculate rear terrace and pool deck, stretching more than 76 feet in width.
Open to the kitchen, the dining room’s table seats twelve in upholstered comfort beside rows of windows and a glass door leading to a covered rear porch with firepit.
In the west wing are the main-level primary suite and a guest suite. The primary suite holds pride of place here, with windows on two walls framing views of ocean and sky. A glass door in the bedroom opens to the rear terrace. The bath includes his-and-hers sinks, a generously sized, windowed walk-in shower, and his-and-hers closets including a spacious walk-in closet.
To the other corner, the west-wing guest suite also enjoys windows on two walls. Its windowed, high-wainscoted bath includes a soaking tub, and there is a closet with his-and-hers doors.
In the east wing is the children’s corner suite, also with windows on two walls and a walk-in closet. Twin beds lie along a shiplap accent wall with high windows, and its bath of sky blue includes a generously sized walk-in shower.
A half-bath and laundry room, spacious with beautiful cove molding and a paned windowed over the sink inviting leaf-dappled light inside, complete the main floor.
Take the staircase past a cozy window seat tucked into a nook beside rows of windows to the central gallery of the second floor. Here, beneath a chandelier, is a hospitality space with wet bar including an undercounter fridge, wide countertop, and ample cabinetry. Three steps lead from it up to the estate’s media room, which boasts electric movie blinds, allowing the room to darken at the push of a button.
You’ll also find a fitness nook here as well, allowing you to enjoy your favorite shows while getting a workout in. Its rear wall is lined with windows and glass doors overlooking incredible ocean views and opening to the second-story balcony with its slim iron balustrade.
The second-floor primary suite lies in the corner of the east wing here. Rows of windows along two walls, a private entrance to a covered section of the rear balcony featuring its own sitting and dining areas, a spacious walk-in closet, and bath with his-and-hers sinks and gorgeously tiled frameless-glass walk-in shower make this a serene seaside sanctuary.
A separate door in the bath, too, leads to a hallway with wet bar and coffee area shared by all on this level. Here are French doors to the rear balcony, lighting the ample cabinetry, wide countertop, sink, and undercounter refrigerator with the sun.
Three guest suites and a windowed laundry room with sink complete this level. The first guest suite is to the rear, enjoying a walk-in shower in its windowed bath and from its bedroom, a private entrance to the rear balcony, itself stretching the entire width of the home.
The second guest suite contains twin beds set against a white shiplap accent wall and a tub in its windowed bath; it shares a foyer and closet with the first guest suite. The third suite has charmingly angled shiplap ceilings with windowed nooks on three sides and a tub in its bath.
The guest suite on the top floor is reserved for the most special of experiences. Featuring some of the most open views of the sea on the Island from its expansive, 37-foot-wide rooftop deck and row of bedroom windows, it enjoys its own entry hall, wet bar with wine refrigerator and open cabinetry, and in the bath, his-and-hers sinks and mirrors, a large frameless-glass shower, and row of windows looking out above the treetops.
On the ground level is a four-car garage, including two ten-foot garages behind doors framed by a wall pergola, an open hall complete with floor shuffleboard, mudroom, an additional laundry space with washer and dryer, and ample extra storage space.
