2142 Boatwright Road: The Porch That Comes with a House. Let's be honest about what you're really buying here: a spacious 420 square foot screened outdoor living room with a wood-burning fireplace, marsh-and-water views, all tucked into one of the most private settings in Kiawah River. The house comes along to keep it company.And it is a gorgeous house. Accordion doors in both the vaulted ceiling great room and the primary suite fold all the way open, so the line between inside and outside basically stops existing. When you need a change of scenery, there's a generous front porch, a separate grilling porch, and 1000 square feet of casual entertaining space under cover below the house that opens to a fire-pit patio. There are plenty of spots to sit with a drink and do nothing at all.The design is tasteful and quietly smart. Every transition is zero-step, so nobody trips carrying a tray of martinis and oysters. The main level has a primary suite with a roll-in shower, a dedicated office, wide hallways and a kitchen large enough for too many cooks. A three-stop elevator reaches every floor, for luggage, groceries, or the simple pleasure of not taking the stairs. Upstairs are three more bedrooms, a second office, and a central den which gives guests their own space to... do what guests do. Then there's the dog situation, which is frankly excellent. A fenced yard, separate dog area, and a dedicated dog-wash station, so the pluff mud stays outside where it belongs. It all sits inside about 640 square feet of enclosed, dehumidified storage, which in the Lowcountry is a genuine luxury. When storm season does its thing, you'll have impact-resistant windows, a whole-house generator, and three separate garage bays for two cars plus the golf cart. Built to be lived in, not just admired. Come see the porch. The house will be there too.
