As you walk up <strong>the</strong> steps to <strong>the</strong> front<br />

piazza you rise above <strong>the</strong> vegetation<br />

and glance across <strong>the</strong> tidal marsh<br />

to <strong>the</strong> golf course beyond. Take in<br />

<strong>the</strong> texture <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> shingle and <strong>the</strong><br />

exterior details that abound.<br />

Upon entering <strong>the</strong> front door you<br />

hesitate to view <strong>the</strong> Dining Room<br />

with a magnificent painted mural<br />

depicting <strong>the</strong> marsh and native<br />

wildlife, both on land and in <strong>the</strong> air.<br />

Immediately across <strong>the</strong> large foyer<br />

you enjoy <strong>the</strong> views thru a wall <strong>of</strong><br />

pilastered windows with transoms<br />

thru a porch that runs from west<br />

to east, to <strong>the</strong> wide Colleton<br />

River beyond. A mix <strong>of</strong> French<br />

and English furniture invites you<br />

to lounge in this gracious Great<br />

Room, complete with paneled<br />

walls, a c<strong>of</strong>fered ceiling, and<br />

bridge above that takes you over<br />

<strong>the</strong> space to <strong>the</strong> bedrooms on<br />

<strong>the</strong> second floor. Note <strong>the</strong> laid in<br />

place tabby facade fireplace as a<br />

functional focal point.<br />

With multiple views thru trees to<br />

<strong>the</strong> river and marshes beyond <strong>the</strong><br />

Family Room supports hand hewn<br />

ca<strong>the</strong>dral beams with steel plate<br />

brackets. <strong>The</strong> large stone fireplace<br />

and comfortable furnishings invite<br />

you to relax from sunrise to sunset.<br />
