2114 Pettigrew Street, Sullivans Island, SC 29482 MLS #25010228

Named ''House of the Week'' by the Wall Street Journal (May 2, 2025), this classic custom beach house perfectly embodies the authentic spirit and old-world charm of Sullivan's Island while embracing modern design and glamour. Conceived and built in 2017 by the local Charleston dream team of Beau Clowney Architects, Daly and Sawyer Construction, and Wertimer + Cline Landscape Design, this spacious residence measures 5,122 square feet--515 more square feet than what can currently be built under existing zoning laws. In the time-honored Sullivan's Island tradition of indoor-outdoor living, you will enjoy 1,978 square feet of screened and covered porches, with walls of French doors opening for social flow and refreshing sea breezes. Six mahogany and glass doors, along with numerous windows, allow natural light to flood the home while providing state-of-the-art wind protection. The entertaining and games spaces continue under the house, featuring an additional 2,950 square feet of brick and tabby paved shade, ideal for gathering around the wood-burning fireplace next to the blue-tiled swimming pool. From the second-floor porch, enjoy colorful sunrises over the Atlantic in the mornings, moonrises with cocktails in the evenings, and the soothing sounds of the ocean and maritime light all day long. 2114 Pettigrew Street is an exemplar of sustainable building practices combined with exquisite craftsmanship. The home incorporates numerous reclaimed materials:old growth heart pine floors saved from a New England maritime factory; wooden bathroom countertops fashioned from the hardwood floors of the original 19th-century beach cottage on the site; beadboard ceilings and an antique metal sink salvaged from other Sullivan's Island cottages; Old English and Old Charleston bricks; and old granite ballast blocks. The fireplace surrounds are carved by local craftsmen from 100-year-old pilings saved during construction, adding history and beauty to the home. Local artisans have meticulously shaped the home throughout, with cabinetry built by Brett Saunders; a wrought iron stair rail crafted in the Charleston tradition by local maker Ahern's Anvils; Venetian plaster walls and decorative paint finishes by artist Suzanne Allen; beadboard walls and ceilings; and interior transom windows fitted by specialist builders. Fixtures throughout the house are sourced from local US companies such as Urban Electric and Wish Designs USA, or are vintage finds, while design features include imported lava stone tiles, countertops, and pool surround from France, as well as British taps, wallpaper, and curtain fabrics. Please see the attached List of Features for a comprehensive catalogue of craft and design elements. This spacious home is nestled in a private half-acre street-to-street lot surrounded by mature trees and hedges, providing ample protection from direct salt air and the maritime forest, all while being just fifty steps from the beach path. The property includes retaining wells with French drains in the yard, designed to manage water drainage effectively and minimize runoff to adjacent properties. Centrally located across from the beach, one block from the school, and three blocks from the best restaurants and shops on Sullivan's Island, this residence offers a unique lifestyle that combines the charm of the past with modern luxury. With downtown Charleston just 20 minutes away, 2114 Pettigrew Street is not just a residence; it's a sanctuary of exquisite design and detail, perfectly capturing the essence of coastal living in a prime location.
