FULL GOLF MEMBERSHIP TO THE DANIEL ISLAND CLUB! Skip the long waitlist for a coveted full golf membership. Welcome to 553 Old Compass Road - a custom deepwater estate tucked just beyond the heart of the coveted Captain's Island enclave in Daniel Island Park. Boasting some of the island's most breathtaking water views, this coastal-modern home pairs timeless architecture with thoughtfully curated details that invite you to slow down and soak it all in. From the moment you ascend the front steps, you're greeted by sweeping water vistas through the glass front door and out the rear of the home. Inside, wide-plank oak floors and fresh white walls create a bright, breezy feel that perfectly suits the Lowcountry lifestyle.The main living space is nothing short of impressive, featuring soaring two-story vaulted ceilings with exposed beams that add warmth and texture. Clean architectural lines draw your eye through the space, where a gas fireplace is flanked by custom built-ins and designer sconces lend a soft glow come evening. Just beyond, the open-concept kitchen and dining area offer both function and flair with custom cabinetry featuring woven accents, a large center island with seating for four, a high-end gas range, wet bar, and walk-in pantry.
The rear of the home is a true showstopper, lucky for you, the doors are bi-folding and open wide! Spanning Ipe decking, a pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen, fireplace, and retractable automatic screens are features of the deck. The yard features a lush green space, built-in firepit, and access to a 700-foot deepwater dock. Whether you are hosting friends or enjoying a quiet sunset, there is no better place to be than here. Recent outdoor upgrades include all-new landscape and lighting, fresh sod and irrigation, a brand-new floating dock and pier head, 27K and 13K boat lifts, new cable railings, and more.
The first-floor owner's suite offers a private retreat with vaulted ceilings and more serene water views. The spa-like en suite bath includes dual vanities, a freestanding tub, walk-in glass shower, and a custom closet and dressing area that conveniently connects to the laundry room designed for both luxury and everyday ease.
Additional first-floor features include a cozy office with views of the front porch swings, a stylish powder room, a functional mudroom, and elevator access.
Upstairs, you'll find a collection of well-appointed guest spaces. One bedroom at the front of the home features abundant natural light, a charming loft space perfect for reading or study, a chic en suite bath, and ample storage. Down the hall, a playful bunk room includes four built-in beds, two closets, and an en suite bath with whimsical wallpaper and designer touches ideal for sleepovers or visiting family.
On the ground level, a breezy mudroom with coastal tile offers direct access to the main garage. With two garage doors, the main garage holds plenty of storage, while an additional detached garage with a third door is perfect for a home gym, golf cart, or gear.
The detached two-story guest house/FROG is a standout feature ideal for extended guests or live-in support. The first floor includes a full bath and a convenient pool towel bench, with a bedroom overlooking the water. Upstairs, a quiet office space offers privacy for workdays and is just steps away from the dock perfect for unwinding with a sunset boat ride.
553 Old Compass Road is a rare opportunity to own a refined, smart-enabled deepwater home in one of Daniel Island's most desirable locations. The home's smart features allow you to manage the pool, garage, HVAC, security, media, and irrigation from your mobile device adding convenience to its long list of luxuries.
