Exemplifying the casual elegance that sets Palmetto Bluff apart, 45 Red Knot Road is a five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath Lowcountry coastal-style home and carriage house located in the popular River Road neighborhood. Set before an expansive park on a bend in the inland waterway, the .22 acres of the lot occupy the sweet spot in enjoying the village lifestyle River Road is known for.

The inviting entry porch, with its sweeping park views, cuts a perfectly welcoming introduction to the Southern hospitality from a Markalunas architect’s design. Stretching out before you, wide-plank pine flooring beneath hand-carved beams crossing the ceiling lend rustic texture to crisp white shiplap walls and gleaming quartz counters in the open kitchen. To one side of this space, custom crafted built-ins surround a gas fireplace of Savannah brick. To the other, a wide center island transitions to a gourmet kitchen with craftsman cabinets, beautiful tile backsplash, and chef-caliber appliances including seven-burner gas range.

Between them, a double set of French doors give way to the spacious screened porch, ideal for year-round entertainment. Savannah bricks surround a four-burner gas grill for easy outdoor cooking, with tabby floors running across to the wood-burning brick fireplace. From here you can see the covered breezeway running from the home’s owner entry and mud room with full laundry to the two-car garage. Above the garage, a full carriage house pairs custom-built bunk beds against one another in a sprawling space with kitchenette, multiple closets and en suite bath with walk-in shower.

Two more elevated suites can be found on the main home’s second floor, flanking a flex space with built-in storage. Each enjoys spacious closets, generous footprints and ensuite baths with tub and shower. A further secondary suite can be found on the ground floor, with gorgeous views out toward the park, roomy closet and ensuite bath. Enjoying a sublime sense of privacy and serenity, the massive primary suite indulges with an oversized ensuite boasting his-and-hers vanities, garden tub and walk-in shower, passing through to the cavernous walk-in closet.

An extension of Wilson Village, the River Road neighborhood continues the established character of Wilson Village while also being adjacent to the 120-acre River Road Preserve. More classic, period details give the architecture a slightly more formal feel in this neighborhood. Known as the Garden District of Palmetto Bluff, the River Road neighborhood was thoughtfully designed to incorporate community green spaces, staying true to the Lowcountry landscape and integrating the natural environment into the neighborhood.
