Exceptional deep-water estate with private dock on Bohicket Creek offering 12.8 acres of serene waterfront privacy with beautiful marsh to river vistas, and lowcountry charm, best describes Henshaw Glen. The property features a custom-built home with a unique architectural design, blending a classic one-story farmhouse with a contemporary industrial edge. The home's interior design is an open floor plan concept, with an enormous central living space and two connecting wings. The front entry's glass door welcomes you into the main living space of the Great Room, boasting an abundance of natural light, expansive windows, a 2-story vaulted shiplap ceiling and white oak flooring throughout. Oversized windows and a metal-walled wood-burning fireplace are industrial focal points.Stepping up into the Dining and Kitchen areas, a stunning 14-ft walnut wood cooking island divides the space with counter seating. The gourmet Kitchen is well-appointed with a Thermador refrigerator, gas range/oven, electric oven, hooded vent and dishwasher. Custom cabinetry, built-in pantry, baking counter, and beverage area and stereo sound complete the space. Located a few steps from the Kitchen, is a powder room and Den/playroom that opens onto a screened porch for viewing the home's front meadow and provides convenient access to the lush floral, herb and vegetable gardens, a gourmet cook's haven!
Adjoining the Great room is the West wing of the home, where family and friends can enjoy the privacy of two large bedrooms, and bath, with garden pool and meadow views.
The East wing's cozy Library with gas log fireplace and views of the marsh, invites you into the privacy of the primary bedroom suite, a generous space, with 2-story vaulted ceiling, that accesses a private screened porch with views to the river.
