This captivating coastal home was designed by Beau Clowney Architects and Allison Elebash Interiors, located in the waterfront community of Kiawah River, just outside Charleston, South Carolina. This magnificent Lowcountry community encompasses 2,000 acres of marshland, creeks and ponds, oak and pine forests, and riverfront property on Johns Island.

The owners reside here for most of the year, spending summers in New Hampshire. Their idyllic half-acre waterfront property backs up to a vibrant tributary with an abundance of wildlife. The crisp white exterior facade has a coastal cottage vernacular, while the interior features a cool, comfortable, and coastal-inspired design. Encompassing four bedrooms, this retreat is spacious enough to fit the owners, along with their three adult children and two dogs.

What We Love: This Kiawah River coastal home was designed as a relaxing getaway and eventual forever home for a family that loves to entertain and spend time connecting with nature. We love the serene color palette in this dreamy Lowcountry home, with its soothing blues and verdant greens. Large windows capture calming views of the river along with an abundance of wildlife, making this home very idyllic. Thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces, including kitchen and dining areas and a large screened porch, further enhance its connection to the natural surroundings.
