An added bonus is that the home has only one neighbor, another unusual characteristic for Sullivan’s Island. Tucked into the coast, the gated property will include additional outdoor amenities, Marr said, such as an indoor/ outdoor infinity pool, half of which will be in the sun and half under a covered patio in the shade, which will overlook the ocean. This exterior area will be fully equipped with an outdoor kitchen, dining and living space, ideal for entertaining or just relaxing. Further, the upstairs interior is designed with glass accordion doors that fold out onto a 600-foot round deck, inviting additional scenic ocean views and a beachy breeze into the open kitchen, dining and living room. The quality of construction and hurricane impact resistant materials will be top notch, said Haynes, who credited Clarke Design Group as the architects and Arnett Construction as the builders. Moreover, the property comes with an existing rip rap seawall and rock jetty that prevents the potential of erosion that comes with owning oceanfront land. This feature is relevant, as per the Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, a state agency of the Department of Health and Environment Control, because existing revetments can be maintained but not newly built. Without this asset, the project could not have moved forward, Haynes said. Marr added that to get to the current driveway on Marshall Boulevard Extension, he will be contributing landscaped beach access with a dedicated path and stairs for island residents to use as an alternative passage to Breach Inlet. Delivery of the house is slated for late summer of 2025. The price has yet to be announced. Thus what promises to become a luxury retreat for the next curators will also benefit beachgoers, as well as transform our view of the property from outside the gates into a modern architectural feat, perhaps redefining what “iconic” looks like for the island.
