*Agent is Owner*Welcome to Villa Serena, a modern, one-of-a-kind, gated waterfront sanctuary seconds to the Sol Legare boat landing, less than 10 minutes to Folly Beach and 20 minutes to historic Downtown Charleston. Villa Serena is unlike anything in the surrounding area and designed with a level of thought, craftsmanship, and indoor-outdoor connectivity that simply isn't being replicated. Resting on close to an acre of high, elevated coastal land -- so elevated that during the most recent king tides that flooded most of Charleston and the Beaches, the water never even reached the grass -- this private estate offers unobstructed long-range water views from almost every window in a setting of quiet, natural serenity.The property features an automatic custom-made cedar gate, six-figure landscaping package with extensive plants, zoysia grass with irrigation, fountain, and lighting, IPE decking, impact windows, spray foam insulation, hardi plank siding, metal roofing, hot tub & EV charging pre-wire, an outdoor shower, and expansive secured covered storage beneath the home for all your toys. The four-car garage includes automatic openers, with one bay designed to easily accommodate a large boat. The architect designed this custom built home to have three separate living quarters, although you could easily convert to two. The home is made up of three separate units connected through a screen porch and walk way. Layout is as follows: Main home consists of living room/kitchen/dining, bar area with laundry, loft, and primary bedroom with en suite bathroom. Through the screen porch are another two bedrooms connected with a bathroom. Off the porch is a casita with a kitchenette and one bedroom and bath. If you want to close in the porch you can do that by adding a mini split and windows and make it three bedrooms 3.5 baths under one roof and still have the separate casita. Inside the main home features soaring 10-20+ ft ceilings, exposed wood beams, and a beautiful plaster gas fireplace delivering refined Lowcountry modern style. Two large sliding Jeld Wen glass doors open to the water, seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor living. The large IPE deck is the perfect place to hang out and enjoy the view and gentle breeze day and night. The custom kitchen showcases a 36" Wolf range framed with freezer to the left and fridge to the right, imported marble counters, custom cabinets with built-in range hood, and a designer bar with ice maker, sink, wine cooler, and beverage fridge with views of the water. Off the bar is the laundry room that leads to the loft. The loft can be used as a gym/office/reading area or flex space. Wide-plank engineered white oak wood floors, architectural lighting, and curated luxury finishes are present throughout. The primary suite is positioned to capture cinematic water views and features a walk-in closet and spa-caliber bathroom with marble shower, hand sprayer and rain shower head, dual vanities with tons of storage, deep soaking tub overlooking the water, and private bidet water closet. The two bedroom one bath unit can be used as bedrooms, office space/gym/flex, or living space in one and bedroom in the other. The one bedroom casita is perfect for guests, family, or a rental. Downstairs is completely secure and has tons of storage (about 2,000 sqft) and covered space for additional entertaining area rain or shine. There is also space for a hot tub and second living room/hang out space.
