Welcome to 4640 Westervelt Road! This astonishing estate was originally constructed in 1919 and underwent a full major renovation in 2012. Situated on a 1.4 acre bluff (x zone) with expansive views of the Wadmalaw river and surrounding marsh as well as a true deep water dock (4ft at low) and covered pier head, this historic home is truly one of a kind!Approaching the home you are greeted by over 1500 square feet of covered wrap around porches which capture the essence of southern charm. The original 1919 front door has withstood the test of time and sets the tone of character which can be found in the remainder of the home. From the coffered ceilings to the board and batten hall and the stunning staircase that guide you to the second floor, the incredible foyer offers so much to take in.The primary bedroom is located on the first floor and offers a unique space and large en-suite bath that has been renovated to modern standards including a glass walk-in shower, large soaking tub, double vanity and 2 walk-in closets! The kitchen and main living room were added by Beau Clowney Architects. The addition makes for the perfect blend of modern amenities while still maintaining the charm and character of this period home. Kitchen upgrades include granite counters, kitchen island, GE profile appliances, Wolf gas range and hardwood floors that work nicely with the original flooring in the home. Just off the kitchen is a convenient multipurpose mudroom that functions as a laundry room or even a butler's pantry if added prep space is needed. Completing the main floor is a formal living room, formal dining which both share a double sided fireplace and an additional full common bath. Upstairs you will find 2 large guest bedrooms, a full bathroom and floored storage in the eves which could possibly be converted into finished space. Living space continues outdoors to the wraparound porch, professionally designed and landscaped yard, resort-like pool, and a 19x19 pavilion that all share the incredible water and wildlife views including sea breezes off the Wadmalaw sound. This space was constructed in 2020 and features a Gunite self cleaning, salt water pool with a travertine tile pool deck and pavilion area which is plumbed (hot and cold) and has power. A truly amazing place to be enjoyed with friends and family!!! A peaceful walk from the pavilion leads to your short (350ft) dock. The walkway and pier head are shared while each owner has exclusive access to the ramp and floating dock. Waterfront living allows for boating, kayaking, shrimping, crabbing and swimming in your essentially endless backyard! The creek also offers world class fishing for Sea Trout, Flounder and Redfish! A short scenic boat ride through the Wadmalaw River into the Stono River allows access to Charleston Harbor! Along the way, both rivers offer multiple sandy beach islands as well as restaurants that offer dock space for boaters to access. A truly endless playground for the boating enthusiast! Again the average depth on the river side of the floating dock is 4ft at low tide. The current owner successfully navigated his 27' twin engine Grady White on a regular basis. Boating destinations include 30-40min to Charleston Harbor and 30 min to N Edisto Inlet. Just some of the many additional notable mentions for the home include tankless water heater, crawlspace encapsulation/dehumidifier, all new HVAC ductwork, lower HVAC unit (2020), all new pex plumbing, irrigation system, dock stubbed for power and more! 4640 Westervelt is a one of a kind, once in a lifetime dream property! Do not let this be the "one that got away!"
