Set along the Stono River and the Intracoastal Waterway in the heart of Charleston’s boating corridor, 5648 Captain Kidd Road offers a true deepwater lifestyle designed for those who want seamless access to both offshore adventure and downtown convenience. Perfectly positioned on one of the region’s most desirable stretches of waterfront, this exceptional four-level residence blends thoughtful coastal construction with elevated indoor-outdoor living.

A shared dock extends to approximately seven feet of water at low tide, with a covered pierhead and private lift that makes launching effortless from sunrise to sunset. Equipped with water, electricity, a fish cleaning station, and a remote-control powered lift, the dock is ready for every boating enthusiast.

Constructed to withstand coastal elements, the home features a metal roof, Hardiplank exterior, hurricane-rated windows with numbered quick-fastener panels, 2×6 framing, and spray foam insulation throughout. Notably, the property is not located in a flood zone. Also an elevator shaft that offers long-term accessibility and convenience.

The main living level welcomes you with 11-foot ceilings, 8-foot mahogany doors, and walls of glass framing 180-degree views of the river and marsh. Designed for gathering, the open-concept floor plan flows from the great room with a gas fireplace into a chef’s kitchen anchored by the GE Café Suite, featuring a six-burner gas cooktop, double ovens, a convection microwave, a dishwasher, and a beverage chiller. Quartz countertops, a custom fish-mosaic backsplash, a copper sink, a pot filler, coffered ceilings, and a spacious walk-in pantry with a coffee bar elevate the space even further. French doors lead to the expansive back porch, affectionately known as the “party porch,” where waterfront entertaining comes naturally.

Outdoor living unfolds across four covered porches, a ground-level patio, and a rooftop deck with sweeping 360-degree views. The main-level porch features a gas fireplace, putting green, and a fully appointed outdoor kitchen with grill, gas cooktop, wine chiller, and additional refrigeration. A waterside fire pit overlooks the river, while the fenced yard offers a secure space for pets. The ground level also includes an outdoor shower, four-car garage, and a separate-entry guest or in-law suite ideal for multigenerational living or potential rental income.

Upstairs, the owner’s suite is a true sanctuary with a private porch capturing uninterrupted Intracoastal views framed by grand oaks. The spa-inspired bath features a soaking tub, an expansive porcelain-clad shower with dual heads, and a custom dual-vanity with exceptional storage. Additional bedrooms on the upper levels provide flexible accommodations. At the same time, the rooftop deck crowns the home as an extraordinary vantage point for sunrises, stargazing, and watching boats cruise along the waterway.

This is more than a waterfront home. It is a deepwater retreat designed to celebrate Charleston’s coastal lifestyle at its finest.
