1233 Calais Drive

There are renovated homes, and then there are homes that have been completely reimagined. 1233 Calais Drive is the latter. Main House: 4bd/3.5ba & Guest House: 1bd/1ba.Taken down to the studs and rebuilt with an incredible level of intention, this is one of the most creative, sophisticated and downright fun homes in Mount Pleasant. Think Palm Beach personality meets Lowcountry living, where bold color, layered pattern, custom details and luxury finishes come together in a home that feels collected, warm and completely one of a kind.And while the personality is impossible to miss, the quality behind it may be even more impressive. This was a true studs-out renovation with new Marvin windows and doors throughout,all-new PEX plumbing, all-new wiring with no original wiring remaining, new insulation, approximately 95% new drywall, upgraded electrical, new HVAC and ductwork, new engineered hardwood flooring and white oak stair details. A whole-house water filtration system serves the kitchen, bar, pot filler, ice maker and refrigerator, and a brand-new roof and gutters were just installed in August 2026.

The 4bd 3.5ba main residence was designed for the way people actually want to live, elevated and beautifully finished without ever feeling too precious to enjoy. Every room has a point of view and nearly every detail has been touched.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen pairs serious function with serious personality. A 48-inch Bertazzoni range, 60-inch refrigerator/freezer, built-in plaster hood, oversized pantry and 36-inch sink are complemented by one of the home's best features: a 60-inch hydraulic indoor/outdoor pass-through window with natural wood trim and a pull-down screen, effortlessly connecting the kitchen to outdoor entertaining.

The details continue throughout with new plumbing fixtures, tile and bath hardware, new lighting and electrical components, and a restored and serviced fireplace with new gas logs and assembly. The screened porch was refreshed with new screening, outdoor lighting, ceiling fans and glass storm doors. This wasn't a cosmetic renovation designed to photograph well. The investment is just as evident behind the walls as it is in everything you can see. Then you step outside.

The backyard feels like a private resort tucked into the middle of Mount Pleasant, anchored by a saltwater pool, hot tub and multiple spaces created for outdoor living and entertaining. The pool and equipment were installed in 2024, the deck was rebuilt the same year, and new irrigation, sod and landscaping followed in 2025 and 2026. There is even a hot-and-cold outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day at the pool or beach.

The newly built, fully conditioned 750-square-foot detached garage and pool / 1 bed + 1 bath guest house makes the property even more special. Completed in 2025 with all-new windows, doors, insulation and ductwork, the space currently includes a one-car garage, pool room, full bathroom and private office and was intentionally designed for easy future conversion to an ADU. It is an incredible opportunity for a guest suite, extended family, work-from-home space or additional living quarters.

A separate finished storage shed gives the paddleboards, kayaks and beach gear their own home, while plenty of off-street parking for a boat and golf cart means this property is actually equipped for the lifestyle its location affords. Because here, the location is half the fun.

Bike to Sullivan's Island. Golf cart to Shem Creek. Spend the morning at the beach, come home for an afternoon by the pool, rinse off in the outdoor shower and hop on the golf cart for dinner and drinks on the creek. Keep the boat at home and be ready for a day on the water whenever the weather cooperates.

For all of the investment behind the walls, the luxury finishes and the details you simply don't find in most renovations, what makes 1233 Calais so special is something much harder to replicate. This home has a whole lot of heart.

It wasn't renovated to look like every other new house. It was created to be lived in. For sandy feet and cannonballs. Kids running in and out of the house. Friends gathered around the kitchen. Long dinners outside. Golf cart rides to Shem Creek. Beach days that turn into pool days. A full house, in every sense of the word.

Palm Beach meets Mount Pleasant, with luxury in the details and a whole lot of heart.
