Tour This Light-Filled Lowcountry Retreat with a Modern Point of View

Written by Palmetto Bluff

Tucked amid whispering pines and overlooking a tranquil water trail, 11 Lyonia Street is where Lowcountry charm meets modern artistry. The newly built residence redefines Southern living with a balance of craftsmanship and calm. This is a home that feels both rooted and forward-looking, equally suited for intimate evenings or weekend gatherings that spill from indoors to out.

Modern Architecture, Lowcountry Soul

Designed by West 84 Architecture and built by Dillard Jones, the 5,015-square-foot home marries classic materials—board and batten, brick, and oyster tabby stucco—with a streamlined, architectural clarity. Interiors by Tribus Interior Design echo that same dialogue between tradition and modernity: white oak floors underfoot, Visual Comfort lighting above, and a palette of soft neutrals that shift with the light throughout the day.

The great room, with its vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, feels airy yet grounded, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling fireplace wall that commands attention without overwhelming the space. The kitchen is a sculptural statement in itself—a custom matte-black-and-brass hood, Champagne Premium quartzite countertops, and an oak-stained island invite gathering and conversation. Just beyond, a discreet butler’s pantry offers both utility and elegance, complete with a serving window that opens to the golf simulator room.

The simulator space itself elevates the home’s leisure experience, functioning as both an entertainment zone and a training suite. Outfitted for year-round play, it provides an immersive environment for honing skills, hosting friendly competitions, or enjoying a virtual round regardless of the weather. Large windows and intentional sightlines connect the room to the outdoors, where the home overlooks Crossroads – Palmetto Bluff’s reversible nine-hole course. 

A Retreat for the Everyday

In the main-floor primary suite, French doors open to the screened porch, blurring the line between indoors and out. Dual closets and a bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower reflect a spa-level attention to detail. 

Upstairs, a loft with a wet bar and built-in desk overlooks the main living space, while three ensuite bedrooms provide privacy for guests and family alike. Every room feels intentionally framed — a view of sunlight through oak branches, a reflection of water at dusk — each moment designed to pause and breathe.

A Landscape Meant to Be Lived In

At 11 Lyonia Street, outdoor living isn’t an afterthought—it’s a continuation of the home’s design language. The screened porch extends the interior’s clean lines into nature, warmed by a double-sided brick fireplace and anchored by a built-in grill perfect for Lowcountry evenings. Beyond, a heated saltwater pool mirrors the sky above, while a brick patio and fire pit invite lingering conversations.

Steps away, a floating dock offers quiet moments by the Inland Waterway—a front-row seat to the water, herons, and golden reflections that define this part of the Bluff.
