The Southern reflects his wife’s Goose Creek and Charleston roots, while other aspects harken to Jean’s upbringing in Morocco and the south of France. “The house has real Italian charm. You see it when you enter the house,” said Jean. “But it’s anchored in the South, and you’ll see that reflected most within the back of the home features and the balconies.” The idea for this house originally came from a photo that Jean and Pamela found, and presented to their architect, Jean said of Camens Architectural group. “Camens built the whole house around it, focusing on the different views we have on the island.” From the balconies to the windows, the picturesque Wando River is viewable from almost anywhere in the house, including the dining room. Built on the side of the house, the formal room has a bay of windows, which, Jean said, “gives the feel of being right on the Wando River.” While the master bedroom with its large office and balcony are on the second floor, the first level is more “social” with a pool table, gym and wine cellar. “It’s really about the view all around because it’s so phenomenal,” said Jean. “Sometimes you wake up and the water is right there outside your window with the tide.” PHOTOS BY JC LOPEZ, ZYNDICATE At a Glance Built 2018 6,032 Square Feet 5 Bedrooms/7 Bathrooms Architect: Camens Architectural Group General Contractor: Rob Bohart, Paradise Homes Park West
