Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on one of the largest waterfront lots in Forrest Lakes, 2260 Forrest Lakes Boulevard offers a rare blend of privacy, designer style, and Lowcountry charm beneath a breathtaking canopy of grand live oaks.Set along the water's edge with a private dock and exceptional fishing right from your backyard, this property feels more like a secluded retreat than a neighborhood home. As sunlight filters through the majestic trees and reflects across the water, the setting creates a sense of peace that is increasingly difficult to find.Inside, every space has been thoughtfully curated with custom finishes and intentional design. The home's open floor plan was created for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, anchored by an extraordinarychef's kitchen featuring custom coral cabinetry, extensive built-in organization, designer lighting, and an oversized island stretching more than twelve feet in length. Walls of windows frame the waterfront views and flood the home with natural light. The adjoining living room is both inviting and sophisticated, showcasing custom millwork, a fireplace, and a stunning Venetian plaster accent wall. Formal and informal gathering spaces flow seamlessly together, offering flexibility for entertaining, working from home, or simply enjoying the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Wake each morning to peaceful water views and the gentle sway of centuries-old oaks just beyond the windows of the owner's suite. The spacious retreat serves as a true sanctuary, offering tranquil waterfront views, abundant natural light, and a versatile sitting area ideal for a private lounge, nursery, home office, reading nook, or fitness space. The oversized walk-in closet is thoughtfully appointed with custom shelving and organization systems, providing exceptional storage and functionality. The spa-inspired ensuite bath elevates everyday living with dual vanities, a private water closet, extensive custom trim detailing, and an oversized walk-in shower featuring dual shower heads, custom niches, and built-in bench seating. Together, the suite creates a luxurious retreat where comfort, functionality, and waterfront serenity come together beautifully. Upstairs guest accommodations are equally impressive, including oversized bedrooms, custom built-in shelving, walk-in closets, and beautiful views of the waterfront and tree canopy beyond. Outside, the lifestyle truly comes to life. The screened porch overlooks an expansive backyard complete with oyster shell tabby walkways, mature landscaping, a fully fenced yard, upgraded dock, and some of the most desirable fishing waters in the area. Whether enjoying morning coffee beneath the oaks, gathering around the water at sunset, or launching a kayak from your backyard, every day feels like a getaway. The backyard is a true showpiece, with towering live oaks creating a natural canopy over one of the community's largest waterfront homesites. Rarely does a property offer this combination of privacy, mature landscaping, water frontage, and usable outdoor space.
