This Lowcountry river house is designed by Court Atkins Group in collaboration with Element Construction, nestled on a 1.8-acre lot in Palmetto Bluff, a community in Bluffton, South Carolina. The goal was to create a design aesthetic that feels Lowcountry yet is more design-forward. Modern elements gives this traditional style home a fresh edge. “”Black stained oak floors with a dry, brushed finish anchor the interiors which are masculine but are accented with warm tones of ochre, smoke and the glint of antique brass,” states interiors studio KS McRorie Interior Design.
This home encompasses 5,500 square feet of living space, with four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms and a guest bedroom suite residing above an attached garage. There is a total of 2,200 square feet of sumptuous outdoor living space, including a grill porch, cabana, swimming pool and hot tub. Custom details can be found throughout this home, with the exception of the old Savannah brick found in the kitchen and elsewhere. Surrounding this home is a beautifully lush landscape of pine, palmetto and hardwood trees.
