About This Home

This Kiawah River townhome offers more than luxury--it offers a lifestyle shaped by the beauty of the Lowcountry. Both the primary suite and living room open onto expansive screened porches overlooking the marsh and creek, inviting you to begin and end each day with breathtaking water views. On the ground level, a covered terrace with a gas fireplace creates yet another gathering space to enjoy life outdoors. Designed with ease and elegance in mind, the home features ensuite bedrooms, a custom bunkroom, a gourmet kitchen, and open living areas that flow naturally from indoors to out. Thoughtful touches like a custom bar with wine and beverage refrigerators, large pantry, mudroom, two-car garage, and elevator-ready shaft on every floor enhance everyday comfort.10-foot ceilings and only one shared wall allow for abundant natural light on three sides. Landscape is professionally maintained through the townhome association - perfect for lock-and-leave living. This is one of only a handful of properties in the community with fewer restrictions on short-term rentals. 2568 Helmsman is an easy walk to community amenities, 18+ miles of waterfront and wooded trails, ponds boasting unparalleled fishing and a vibrant waterfront with panoramic views of Haulover Creek and the Kiawah River. Among the waterfront amenities are The Spring House swim and fitness facility, Coastal Expeditions' outfitter, community docks and boat landing. Adjacent to the Spring House are the Dunlin, Auberge Resorts Collection's 72- room boutique inn, Linnette's waterfront restaurant and Aster Spa. Kiawah River, Charleston's first Agrihood, encompasses a 100-acre working farm offering residents access to farm fresh eggs, produce, wildflowers, honey, dairy products and the iconic Rosebank Farms produce stand.
