5146 Southern Pines Ln

The airy penthouse villa at 5146 Southern Pines Lane enjoys ocean views stretching for miles, plus views of Kiawah’s pristine beach from walls of nearly floor-to-ceiling windows and a 355-square-foot private terrace.

Newly built in 2024, this residence’s great room is completely open beneath a vaulted, delicately wood-beamed ceiling. Pale wide-plank, knotty pine flooring stretches throughout all but the tiled baths. Customized from the original floor plan, it also includes a separate wine bar and coffee nook steps from the kitchen.

A fireplace with a shiplap chimney wall and built-in shelf niches to either side anchors the light-filled living room. The space can be extended to form an expansive conversation area as shown, or the mid-space can serve as a dining room with space easily seating eight and stunning views.

The kitchen also enjoys a wall of windows; two of the panels are of sliding glass, offering access to the top-story terrace with its outdoor living room for enjoying coffee at sunrise to the calls of seagulls and a pub table for enjoying evening drinks to the whisper of the tide rolling in.

Inside, a large waterfall center island encompasses a single-basin, streamlined sink and additional seating for three at its breakfast bar. The clean-lined shiplap cabinetry is in a soothing cream complementing the pale, beautifully veined perimeter countertop. All appliances but for the paneled bottom-freezer refrigerator are of stainless steel, including the eight-burner gas cooktop with concealed hood, undercounter microwave, and undercounter wine cooler in the adjacent wine bar. The backsplash is also strikingly veined—a work of natural art—and open shelving with under-shelf lighting adds to the airy feeling.

The serene, light-hued primary bedroom with its natural tones also enjoys breathtaking views of the ocean and Cape Club rooftops through windows stretching to the ceiling as well as beautiful built-in bookshelves lining one of the walls.

Walk through the large walk-in California closet with its concealed pocket doors to enter the windowed bath. It's exquisite with his-and-hers sinks atop a vanity stretching the entire length of the space, an expansive frameless-glass, wood-hued walk-in shower with rainshower head and additional handheld showerhead, and to its other side, a stunning standalone soaking tub in sleek white, forming a striking bathing and showering space.

The guest suite, accessed via pocket doors from the living room, enjoys the same natural hues and recessed lighting as the primary suite. Two windows invite light inside, and there’s an entry vestibule with closet en route to its bath. There you’ll find a sleek bathtub and shower combination with a single frameless-glass swinging door, artfully framed mirror, and vanity of moss green shiplap.

Accessible from the foyer with its gorgeous chandelier and front door delightfully evoking the seashore is the residence’s beautifully decorated powder room and laundry closet with stacked washer and dryer and open shelving cubbies.

Additional features of this impeccably constructed Cape property, offered partially furnished, includes impact-rated doors and windows, easy access to the nearby Cape Club seaside pool, parking for two cars, and an enviable location in a highly walkable, energy-efficient community created by an award-winning builder strongly committed to sustainability and preservation of the natural environment. It’s also close to bicycling paths winding past tranquil marshes, tidal creeks, and the Kiawah River to the boutiques and eateries of Freshfields Village, and the eateries of West Beach Village are just an amble away up the beach. For golf aficionados and guests who favor the green, the Gary Player-designed Cougar Point golf course is just a two-minute bicycle ride away.

A Kiawah Island Club Social Membership is available with the purchase of this property, giving Members access to amenities including the Club facilities at Cassique and River Course, along with The Sports Pavilion, Marsh House, Sasanqua Spa, and beach clubs overlooking the ocean.
