Bear Creek Golf ... Winding Trail Lane is situated in the heart of the private residential community of Hilton Head Plantation. The Coffin residence is nestled along the 3rd fairway of the 250-member private Bear Creek Golf Course. This member owned course is known for a low number of annual rounds, having no tee times, and play when you want. Winding Trail is a private cul-e-sac with carefully manicured yards and mature tree cover of long leaf pines.

The Coffin home is deceptive from the street. What greets you beyond the porticio entry cannot be judged from outside.

At the entry, a driveway with off-street parking leads to a 2-car garage. An oyster shell tabby walk leads to a portico entry and 2 naturally stained entry doors. Steps at the garage lead to a cozy hobby room above the garage that is heated and cooled.

Inside, wood floors begin at the foyer and lead through the common areas of the home including the kitchen. The home is built around the very popular great room concept with cathedral ceiling, unique doublesided gas fireplace with tile hearth, overhead paddle fan, and Hurd thermopane window overlooking the view to the outdoor deck. The great room opens off the kitchen and there is a formal dining room with bay window overlooking the side patio. Off the dining room is a tiled sun room/Carolina room with a slider to the outdoor deck. Note the deep tray ceiling, the floor-to-ceiling Hurd thermopane windows and the bow window overlooking the golf view.

The kitchen is a chef¿s delight. Top-of-the-line KraftMaid cabinetry has lots of rollouts, interior features, and drawer storage. The kitchen opens to the great room, and there are lots of halogen under counter lights, and most appliances recently replaced. Off the kitchen is a breakfast room with a bay window and slider to an outdoor tabby patio and garden area ideal for outdoor cooking and entertaining. There is a convenient utility room with deep sink, washer, dryer and lots of shelving.

The bedroom configuration is unique. The owner presently has the home set up as a 2-bedroom home with 2 separate den/conversational areas. The master bedroom is oversized with a huge walk-in closet with lots of double rod and shelving. There is a double vanity and a large walk-in shower, deep soaking tub, and large picture window overlooking an enclosed garden. Off the master bedroom is a vaulted ceiling den area ideal for a sitting area, studio, or other conversational area. Note the leaded glass windows, overhead paddle fan set in a vaulted ceiling, and the heavy Hurd windows to the outdoor deck. Connecting the foyer and the master bedroom with a pocket door is a cozy den with a solid masonry fireplace (wood or gas), vaulted ceiling, closet, and easy access to the deck.

The guest bedroom is conveniently located off the foyer and is generous in size with a bow window, a second large walk-in closet, and easy access to the guest 2nd bath.

To the rear of the home, there is a terraced wooden deck that has been treated with an all-weather stain. Gentle steps down lead to a lily pond with a fountain and flagstone edging. Note in the rear and side yards that all of the treated wood terracing with steps and handrails and garden area are ideally suited for the tremendous variety of plants.

It would be difficult to quantify the amount of money that the owner has spent in keeping this house up to date in renovations. In addition to the totally updated kitchen, the HVAC system has been replaced (2006), the house has 3M thermal sun shade window coverings, wood floors, new roof, satellite dish, ADT fire, burglar and emergency alarm system (presently disconnected), masonry fireplace, wood floors, all windows and doors in the home have been replaced, water softener, water purification system, hot water boost system in kitchen, new lighting, new asphalt driveway (2007), and bonus room with separate HVAC.
