About This Home

Lowcountry elegance and refined coastal living define this Dolphin custom built 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath residence, ideally situated within the highly sought after gated community of Wild Dunes on Isle of Palms. Located on one of the community's most desirable streets, 5819 Back Bay Drive enjoys exceptional privacy and curb appeal, tucked in at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. The home is thoughtfully designed and positioned to capture serene marsh and lagoon views while offering convenient, walkable access to the beach and all the resort-style amenities Wild Dunes has to offer, including use of the Property Owners Beach House.The open concept living, dining, and kitchen areas provide an inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining. French doors lead to a spacious screened porchthat extends the living space outdoors, complete with dedicated lounging and dining areas designed to take full advantage of marsh views and coastal breezes. The main living area is framed by floor-to-ceiling impact resistant windows that maximize natural light and scenic views, complemented by custom built-ins and bamboo flooring that extends throughout the home. The kitchen offers granite countertops with bar seating, a brand new custom framed in-wall oven, and a warm combination of light and dark natural maple cabinetry.

The first floor primary suite serves as a private retreat, featuring a tray ceiling, built-in bookcase, expansive windows, a generous walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a jetted tub, and an oversized walk-in tile shower. Also on the main level is a versatile laundry room with extensive cabinetry and a utility sink, offering potential for use as a multipurpose space or scullery.

Upstairs includes three spacious bedrooms providing comfortable, well-fashioned accommodations. Two share an expansive Jack and Jill bath, while the third includes a private en suite. The rear bedroom opens to an upper level screened porch - perfect for relaxing in the hammock while enjoying the tranquility of the quiet, natural surroundings. Rounding out the second floor is a thoughtfully created, lofted office area with built-in shelving, desk, and cabinetry that adds an ideal workspace.

Some notable features of this beautifully maintained, single owner home include a tailor-made elevator serving all three levels, automated steel hurricane door enclosures on all exterior doors, high-impact resistant windows throughout the home, plantation shutters on all bedroom windows, a discrete automated mosquito misting system surrounding the home, and in-wall speakers.

The expansive ground level garage spans the full footprint of the home, offering ample parking , a large, enclosed storage area with a dehumidifier, abundant space for beach gear, and a private outdoor shower with both hot and cold water--ideal for coastal living.

Additional highlights include Rhino Shield exterior paint, whole house water filter, dual water heaters replaced in 2024, and a brand new roof in 2026. All appliances to convey, and sold partially furnished for ease of transition (including living room couch, dining room table and bespoke wall unit, and upper level back bedroom suite). This is a rare opportunity in one of the lowcountry's most desirable, exclusive beach communities.
