The porch is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and a TV, ideal for Saturdays in the fall. A gas bib serves the fireplace, a second gas bibbelow the window awaits an outdoor kitchen, and extra ceiling outlets in the corners are ready for additional fans.

A butler's pantry and half bath are adjacent to the kitchen and lead to a spacious laundry room.
A bright and private guest suite is located off the entrance hall.
A den adjacent to the primary suite provides a comfortable space for watching television or reading, with accent lighting pre-wired for artwork on the back wall.
The primary suite enjoys a large vanity with dual sinks, a generous shower, and a separate water closet with an outlet ready for a bidet. A hidden outlet sits beneath the sink. The walk-in closet is located at the end of the bath, and the suite opens to the waterfront porch. ADA support is installed at the toilet and shower in all three bathrooms, and the staircase was built with extra-depth treads.

Distant Island
Community amenities include a private boat landing, tennis, a pond and a community dock. There is also a unique mile long waterfront stroll stretching around part of the south and western sides of the island. Distant Island is one of hundreds of what are called the Sea Islands along the coast of South Carolina. Composed of 185 acres of high ground, Distant Island is surrounded almost entirely by tidal water as deep as 26 feet at low tide. It is connected by a paved causeway to Ladys Island, from which one reaches the historic town of Beaufort over the Ladys Island bridge. Historically Distant Island was very rich farmland. Since 1976 it has been under development as a high-end private residential community that is now within the city limits of Beaufort.
