346 Ralston Creek is one of Daniel Island’s few waterfront estate homes. Designed by Charleston’s premier architect Steve Herlong and built by renowned Phillip Smith, this home is a masterpiece of unique southern living on the water. Almost hidden from the road, you will enjoy the long drive way and stately presence of this home. As you reach the main house and detached carriage house garage, you find yourself in an elegant courtyard setting with the grand staircase beckoning you to the front porch and distinctive entrance. Of course, you can opt for the 3 stop elevator just steps from your car. This is one of the finest water front sites in Charleston. The architect applied penthouse logic in placing the main living quarters on the top floor to capture the ultimate views. This home features an open, relaxed design so popular for life in the 21st century. The gourmet kitchen, dining room and family room are open and flow for relaxed living among the ever present water and marsh views. The architect succeeded in capturing a sense of living with nature by playing off the views with natural finishes of the extensive rock fireplace surround, use of black slate counters and heart pine floors. The kitchen features an arched beadboard ceiling with soft accent lighting, extensive custom cabinetry and custom black slate counter tops. The master bedroom is at the other end of the home and features private porch, fireplace and sumptuous master bath. The second floor is designed for independent living with a large family room enjoying the ever present views. There are 4 guest bedrooms each with a private bath on this level. There are over 1,000 square feet of covered porches off of almost every room in the home. The rear yard has a delightful pool with Jacuzzi. The dock is quite rare in Charleston as it is short offering easy access to your boat. Over the detached garage is a private bedroom and bath framed in and easily finished by the new owners when they are ready. In short this estate has it all. The design is creative, the amenities are perfect in every regard.
