For the first time ever, this remarkable and well-known landmark property is available for purchase. Designed for peaceful enjoyment and the occasional beachfront soiree, the original owners have meticulously maintained the property with pride and care. Expansive dune deck has built-in seating and dining with shade umbrellas and lush landscaped privacy screen. Under the cantilevered home you'll find a shaded cabana bar and lounge area for all day enjoyment of the beach. The flowing, open floor plan captures ocean views from every room that will leave you breathless. Each space is thoughtfully planned for functionality and abundant windows bringing the natural landscape indoors. There is nothing quite like 6 Dunecrest anywhere on the Isle of Palms! Please read on for more details . . .This is not your typical coastal home and should be appreciated by those enjoy a high sense of architectural design, creativity, sunlight and functional spaces. The lot was specifically chosen early in the development of Wild Dunes for its high ground and impressive beach frontage. When you make the climb up into the circular driveway you'll find sufficient parking for numerous guests out front as well as a covered drive-thru motor court. The grand entrance to the home is marked by a water fountain of dancing dolphins and beautiful multi-paneled double doors with individually beveled glass inserts. The welcoming foyer is warmed by stained glass on all 3 sides. Now you have a choice to make: head for the beach - or up the stairs? The dune deck is like an outdoor living room with a community bar, covered lounge area, sun deck, built-in umbrellas, dining and seating plus unparalleled privacy provided by the mature tropical landscaping on both sides (not the mention some welcomed shade in the summer). Continue on down the steps to the beach and then turn around to marvel at the most distinctive home on the entire 7 mile stretch of beach. When you return from the beach, stop in to either his or hers oceanside dressing room to freshen up before heading back inside... Take the stairs or elevator up to the main floor and you'll feel like you're floating above the ocean. The view is spectacular and unimpeded. The sun porch is a nice casual place for lunch and coffee or tea. The main living room overlooks the beach and therefore, there's really no need for television; however, it's there in the built-ins if you're so inclined. Behind the living room is a cozy sitting room with fireplace that flows into the grand staircase hall and entertainment lounge with bar and atrium. This room is bracketed by beautiful greenery and planters on each side from the outside in. The dining room overlooks the beach and ocean as does the kitchen. There's even a butler's pantry and prep station with extra refrigerator tucked away through the bar area.Each bedroom on the main floor has an en suite bath with dedicated vanity and shower spaces. Tall windows wrap each bedroom with natural sunlight and ocean views. Up the grand staircase to the penthouse, you'll find an oval landing that hovers above the lounge downstairs. The front side of the home is a large solarium with windows that extend up to the ceiling and form a glass roof. On one side, you'll find the laundry and the other you'll find a hydroponic garden! The solarium has been enjoyed as an office, an exercise room, and a sitting room over the years. It is also spacious enough to convert into a 4th bedroom if desired. The entire ocean side of the penthouse level is dedicated to the Owner's suite. The bathroom vanity has an amazing sunrise view looking East and numerous built-ins throughout create a dressing room fit for royalty. There's even a kitchenette for lazy mornings and late night snacks! The Main bedroom is a wall of windows looking out across the Atlantic ocean. It is spacious enough for a seating arrangement and has a jacuzzi tub built in to the room. There is an Eastern sundeck and a Western sundeck on each side of the Owner's Suite accessed by sliding doors. Very few homes - perhaps none at all - can hold a candle to the architectural design, the outdoor living, or the creative use of space that 6 Dunecrest provides.
