543 Front Nine Ln

The clean-lined, modern home at 543 Front Nine Lane lies beside hole no. 1 of the world-renowned Ocean Course, offering views of both fairway and Atlantic from four stories of expansive windows and outdoor living spaces, including a top-level sun terrace.

Newly constructed in 2024 with impeccable attention to finishes and fine details, it’s exceptionally ideal for entertaining, with twin master suites, living rooms, and guest suites on two levels, along with a streamlined in-ground pool with heater and fence and a manicured lawn square set amid native Island landscaping.

Acclaimed Kiawah architect Clay Shackelford spared no effort with this property, beginning with its outdoor living spaces. From a wraparound loggia with silver travertine tile flooring leading to both pool and a ground-level breezeway extending the length of the home to a first-level screened porch and expansive top-floor covered sundeck offering incredible views above savanna treetops, this distinctively designed 4,000-square-foot estate is a perfect fit for the privately located eastern-tip community of Ocean Park.

Entry to the home is through clean, contemporary glass doors set beneath a modern portico. Inside, high ceilings and wide-plank white oak flooring stretch throughout, even in the baths. The open floor plan, connected by open-slat stairs and a wood-lined elevator with recessed lighting, is flooded with natural light from plentiful, strikingly dark-trimmed windows, enhanced by pale walls, ceilings, and trim in fresh, milky whites.

On the first level, floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows on three sides invite light inside; one set opens to a stunningly appointed outdoor living room on a dark-ceilinged screened porch, with its own access to the pool via cable-rail-lined stairs. In the living room, an ideal conversation space, is a wall-mounted flat-screen TV and wet bar with two Sub-Zero® wine coolers, ample countertop and cabinetry space, and open shelving.

Ceiling-height cased openings lead to the first-level primary suite and guest suite on opposite sides of the sitting room.

In the primary bedroom, windows overlook the natural landscape and views along two walls, filling the room with sunlight. The bath is equally striking with a floor-to-ceiling window to one end and an expansive picture window set over the his-and-hers sinks atop a floating vanity stretching nearly the length of the wall. A standalone soaking tub and generously sized frameless-glass walk-in shower with two showerheads, tranquilly finished in white marble, are beautiful features. A separate water closet and expansive walk-in California closet with full-height mirror complete the space.

The guest suite is lovely with an upholstered king bed, dark-trimmed casement windows on two walls, and a floor-to-ceiling closet. A floating vanity and frameless-glass walk-in shower in white marble and porcelain grace its bath.

The second level mirrors the first. Here, the living room—also an ideal study—features three tall windows overlooking the views, the second-level primary suite walk-in closet is around a private corner in the bedroom, and the guest bath enjoys an even more expansive walk-in shower. Just one other feature of this floor is different from the first: a full laundry room with ample cabinetry and countertop space, sink, and side-by-side washer and dryer.

The top floor is the centerpiece of life in this home for family and friends. Here, the estate’s great room and adjacent sun terrace, where eight can dine al fresco in cushioned comfort or recline in a separate seating area, enjoy the most magnificent views. Windows on all four sides flood the entire space with light, and a shiplap ceiling stretches throughout.

The living room anchors one end of the space. There, floor-to-ceiling glass doors open to the expansive balcony. The adjacent dining space easily seats eight in upholstered comfort beneath a spectacular glass chandelier, and additional glass doors lead to the balcony.

The open kitchen is clean, white, and sleek. A large center island features a breakfast bar seating three, a wide-basin stainless sink, undercounter dishwasher, and Wolf® microwave. Streamlined ceiling-height cabinetry accented by brushed nickel pulls and white quartz countertops pair with Wolf® dual ovens, a six-burner cooktop with custom hood, and a large stainless refrigerator to create an ideal setup for entertaining.

A half bath is tucked around the corner for privacy. There, sunlight streams in a ceiling-height window, and a floating vanity also creates a feeling of openness.

Additional features of this fully furnished, turnkey estate with a distinctive vertical appeal, located just down the lane from the acclaimed Marsh House with its eatery, outdoor fireplace, and infinity-edge pool overlooking incredible savanna views, include Henselstone® windows and doors, Emtek® door hardware in satin nickel, lighting including fixtures by Hinkley, Quorum, Progress Lighting, and Visual Comfort, Rohl® plumbing fixtures in satin nickel, Toto® toilets, custom-built closets, epoxy-finished flooring at the ground-floor entry and garage, and dehumidified garage and storage.

Access to the Island’s immaculate beach is nearby, as are amenities including Ocean Park’s kayak launch, acres of parkland filled with grand trees and a treehouse playground, and world-class dining and more at the popular Beach Club.

A Kiawah Island Club Golf Membership is available with the purchase of this property.
