5555 Cypress Cottage Ln

The cool, airy residence at 5555 Cypress Cottage Lane is the perfect getaway for those looking for their home away from home. Settled along the blue lagoon waters and enjoying views of the 5th hole at the River Course, its sun-dappled exterior, tall blue shutters, arched garage entrances, and standing-seam copper roof form a lovely exterior housing a stunning interior.

Designed by renowned Kiawah architect Mitch LaPlante as part of a community created to coexist happily with Kiawah’s legendary live oaks and native wildlife, the home welcomes guests with a cozily walled courtyard leading to a covered entrance with barrel-vaulted ceiling entry.

Enter inside and you’re greeted with views of the rear covered patio and loggia through windowed doors. Flanking either side of the entryway are the home’s twin garages, with space for 2 cars. A stone staircase leads you up to a sunlit upper hall with high ceilings and tall, graceful archways. Wide-plank flooring of Caribbean pine, richly stained, is a gorgeous feature throughout, as are the deep-stained Craftsman interior doors.

The light-filled family room, trimmed in thick white crown molding beneath a white-beamed ceiling, is the perfect spot for cozying up with a good book, while the connecting screened porch overlooks the lagoon and golf course, and makes for yet another great space to enjoy during the warmer months.

Back inside, a dining space sits up to six and opens into the airy, sunlit kitchen, with a center island and breakfast bar with built-in bookshelves to one end. The white kitchen cabinetry and subway tile backsplash go perfectly with the granite countertops and the stainless appliances, which include a six burner Wolf® gas range with hood, large Sub Zero® freezer-bottom refrigerator, and icemaker. Tall windows over the white farmhouse sink stream with light, while through an arched doorway, you’ll find the laundry room with stacked washer and dryer to one side and the walk-in pantry to the other.

Down the hallway past a row of floor-to-ceiling windows, you’ll find yourself in the serene primary suite. Enjoying a lustrous, white-coffered ceiling with recessed lighting, and custom window treatments on two sides, this suite also enjoys a beautiful view of the golf course and lagoon. Your ensuite, windowed bath boasts his-and-hers sinks and a wide, frameless glass walk-in shower with rain showerhead. The primary suite also includes a spacious walk-in closet.

Completing this level is a powder room with tall plantation-shuttered window and bronze-basin pedestal sink.

Upstairs are the guest quarters. To one corner, the first suite overlooks the River Course and lagoon from windows on two walls. Through a pocket door is your ensuite bath in sea-salt blue with a walk-in shower in white subway tile, while a half wall of windows allows for a cheery space to get ready in the morning.

Across the hall is the second guest suite. Through the arched doorway, you’ll find this room is currently used as a sunny art studio. It also enjoys a barrel-vaulted ceiling and bright windows on two walls. Your ensuite windowed bath includes a white pedestal sink, and shower/tub combo done in white subway tile.

The third suite is down a private hallway and also showcases views of the River Course and lagoon as well, creating a bright, light-filled atmosphere, with windows on three walls. The ensuite, windowed bath includes a white pedestal sink with hand towel rack and wide walk-in shower in white subway tile. As you travel back out of the suite, you’ll find a spacious walk-in closet.

Additional features of this pristine residence, offered fully furnished, include an elevator shaft, sound, security, and irrigation systems, a tankless water heater, and access to the pool of this responsibly designed community. This home is also only a three-minute bicycle ride from boardwalk no. 28 and no.29 to Kiawah’s immaculate beach.
