This beautiful 5-bedroom, 3-bath home is nearly all on one level and thoughtfully designed to capture the magic of Dewees Island living.Enter into a spacious living room that flows seamlessly into the dining area, all under a dramatic vaulted ceiling. Sliding doors on both ends of the home invite the ocean breeze, creating an airy, indoor-outdoor vibe. The kitchen is a showstopper--featuring a large island, gas range, and a cozy sitting area perfect for sipping morning coffee while watching nature unfold.To the right, a junior primary suite offers privacy for guests.On the opposite wing, you'll find four additional bedrooms, including the primary suite with its own private porch.

Plus, there's another breezy porch for gathering with family and friends. Recent upgrades include a full exterior refresh with Emerald Rain Refresh a premium self-cleaning paint formulated to resist dirt and grime while offering superior UV and weather protection.

Artificial turf adds low-maintenance charm to the back porch, and the home is equipped with a 250lb propane tank fueling the gas range and tankless hot water heater. A new fridge and freezer in the garage rounds out this turnkey coastal haven just a short ride or walk to the ferry.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
