Your home should be your ultimate safe haven, the true place where you can rest, relax and recharge. Searching for a new home often comes with a list of needs and expectations. It's important to hone in on what stands out to you in each home you consider and what priorities are non-negotiable. Homeowners often express equal desire for a relaxing exterior, as well as interior.
While you dream big, why not look for a home that has everything you could ever imagine, or need. 4017 Kaolin Street is a destination in itself. A true tropical oasis, situated in the premiere waterfront community of The Settlement in West Ashley. Designed by local designer Betsy Glass, the home was crafted around three foundational principles: unique modern coastal design, maintenance-free living, and biophilic design that brings the natural world indoors. With equally impressive interior and exterior details, an abundance of natural lighting, an outdoor patio, private tidal dock, boat lift, and saltwater pool and hot tub, this house is more than just a home, it's a complete oasis. Whether you're enjoying a morning cup of coffee, hosting a dinner party, escaping the heat in the saltwater pool, or launching a boat from your private dock, you can truly do it all right here at 4017 Kaolin Street.
Step outside onto your back patio where your luxury five-star resort experience awaits. The outdoor patio is an entertainer's dream, outfitted with an ice machine, a separate sink, a beverage center, and a trash pull-out. The kitchen and dining area include a refrigerator, marine-grade Blaze appliances, polished porcelain slab countertops, an ice maker, and a grill beneath a custom stucco hood, all flowing seamlessly from the screened-in porch to the firepit area to the pool. The screened-in porch features a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and no-see-um-level screening durable enough to withstand small pets. Just beyond it, a turfed area with a custom firepit is the perfect spot to take in the stars. The custom saltwater pool overlooking the water and dock, boasts black marble glass mosaic coping lends a serene ambiance, and the pool is heated, lit, and self-cleaning.
The primary suite is a true sanctuary, sophisticated yet genuinely cozy. Custom wooden slat walls and a live moss panel bring quiet, natural texture to the room, while a gas fireplace anchors the space beneath a ridge-and-crossbeam vaulted ceiling. A spacious covered porch with privacy doors extends the suite outdoors. The primary bath is the height of luxury, with a black marble vanity and shower walls and flooring in beautifully veined white Venato marble. The shower includes dual showerheads, a rainfall feature, and a drainless design that feels like vacation every day. Flat-panel cabinets keep the look modern and clean, and a 9-foot built-in storage cabinet adds ample space. Just around the corner, an outdoor shower connects directly to the pool. The primary walk-in closet is finished in elmwood white oak with two built-in framed mirrors and custom lighting.
