Creek, marsh, wildlife and sunrise views abound at this impeccably designed townhome located in the heart of Jack Island. With over 2,800 sf of living space, 2566 Helmsman Road feels private and spacious while still offering the luxury of a lock and leave lifestyle. The main living floor provides the ultimate space for family gatherings and entertaining with a light-filled kitchen, custom bar with beverage and wine refrigerators, dining and living room that open to an incredible screened porch, ideal for al fresco dinners or just enjoying a cup of coffee as the sun rises over the creek. The primary bedroom on the second living floor boasts an equally impressive private porch providing another special space to take in the beauty of Kiawah River. Each of the three bedrooms has a private bath, while a third-floor loft offers a versatile space for an office, media room or play area. With every corner of the home professionally designed and curated, each space seamlessly blends style and comfort. For added convenience, an elevator shaft runs to all floors of the home making the addition of an elevator a simple transition. A welcoming ground-floor entry opens to a spacious game room and covered seating area with outdoor fireplace, offering even more access to outdoor living. The game room would also make a great storage space for bicycles, beach chairs and kayaks. 2566 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.
