Waterfront Living WITHOUT the Waterfront Cost.

Welcome to 8589 Refuge Point Circle in The Refuge at Whitehall, where classic Charleston architecture meets rare, smart Lowcountry value. This stately residence offers what today’s buyers are searching for: SPACE, FLEXIBILITY, VIEWS, CONVENIENCE, and PEACE OF MIND.

This is shallow waterfront on a traversable tidal creek with community dock access for kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and wildlife watching AND it’s located in Flood Zone X, meaning NO FLOOD INSURANCE REQUIRED. That’s an incredible and increasingly rare advantage for Charleston waterfront.

Enjoy marsh, tidal creek, and wooded views from nearly every room, plus three distinct outdoor living spaces: a full-length rocking-chair front porch, a private deck off the primary suite, and a large, screened porch with ceiling fan off the living room.
Inside, grand first impressions matter. A dramatic two-story foyer with sweeping curved staircase, real hardwood floors throughout the main level, and timeless architectural details set this home apart.

Main Level Living Done Right:
Formal dining with tray ceiling, plantation shutters & columns. Living room with fireplace and custom built-ins framing your marsh views. Chef-inspired kitchen with white-and-gold quartz, stainless appliances, abundant custom cabinetry, oversized pantry with built-in shelving/drawers, and a breakfast bar for 5–6. Sunny bay-window eat-in area overlooks the creek.

The main-level primary retreat offers a tray ceiling, accent wall, wall of windows, and private deck access. Spa bath with extra-long dual vanity, large tiled shower with bench & frameless glass, claw-foot tub, designer tile, and custom his-and-hers closets.

Flexible Multigenerational Design:
Upstairs, 3 generous bedrooms all with walk-in closets - two connected by an oversized Jack-and-Jill with private vanities, one with its own full private bath. Perfect for family, guests, or home offices.

Ideal for extended family, adult children, guests, or caregiver - income potential flexibility without feeling like an afterthought.
