Live your tropical island fantasies at this $12.9M SC waterfront home for sale. Take a look

A house in one of Kiawah Island’s most private enclaves recently came on the market with an asking price of $12.9 million.

Located at 23 Cormorant Island Lane, the house has five bedrooms, 5.5 baths with waterfront access.

It is located on a private point in the nine-home Summer Islands neighborhood accessible by a wooden bridge.

With 7,100 square feet, the house has views of the marsh and river views stretching to the Ravenel Bridge in Charleston. It overlooks Bass Creek.

The property has one of the few private deepwater docks on Kiawah Island, providing access to the Kiawah and Stono Rivers and into the Atlantic Ocean.

The house, built in 2004, has been renovated. It is two stories and includes an elevator. There are three bedrooms in the main house, two in a guest house.

The kitchen was redesigned and a secondary prep kitchen added, with new lighting, custom cabinetry, and updated finishes.

“The primary suite has also been reworked, including a new bath, while the layout overall allows for both openness and separation depending on how the home is used,” the listing for the property says.

There are 20+ foot ceilings, expansive entertaining spaces, and walls of glass looking out at the marsh.

“Every surface has been thoughtfully updated, including a completely new designer kitchen and scullery, a stunning new primary bath, and curated finishes throughout — new bathrooms, new lighting, custom cabinetry, and refined fixtures,” the listing says.

There is a wine storage room, den/tv room with trellis beamed ceiling, circular office or music room, and large garages.

The guest house includes living spaces and a separate garage.

“The grounds have been completely transformed by Wertimer + Cline, with new pathways, lush plantings, and a beautifully integrated pool and stone deck that sit naturally within the landscape,” the listing says.

The pool deck is stone.

The property sold for $9 million in 2021.
