This beautiful beach house was designed by Drafted Architecture, nestled on a half-acre lot on Sullivan’s Island, a barrier island near the entrance of the Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. The 4,005-square-foot, five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom house draws inspiration from the historic Junior Officers’ Quarters, blending classic charm with modern living.
Emphasizing covered porches, the design invites residents to enjoy the coastal breezes while providing seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces. Thoughtfully connected rooms foster a sense of flow and community, allowing for effortless entertaining and family gatherings.
Architectural details, such as traditional rooflines and inviting front entries, pay homage to the island’s rich history while creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This home beautifully balances heritage with contemporary comforts, embodying the spirit of Sullivan’s Island living.
The exterior features spacious front and back porches, mature landscaping, an inviting saltwater swimming pool, outdoor dining spaces, a separate seating area with a fire pit, a changing room and shower, a large capacity generator, and a four-car garage with multiple storage spaces and an elevator to the home’s first floor.
