| Lagoon
and Marsh Views ...
Elliott Point Subdivision
is one of the more sought after neighborhoods in the private
residential community of Hilton Head Plantation. Sam’s
Point Lane is a peninsula of fine homes surrounded by the
tidal marshes of Bear Creek with views across the marsh out
to Port Royal Sound. 11 Sam’s Point Lane is unique in
that it also enjoys a view of a freshwater lagoon that attracts
a myriad of birdlife.
This new and elegant home was built by long-time island homebuilder
(and Mayor), Tom Peeples, on this marshside lot. Nothing but
the finest of materials was used including long lasting hardiplank
siding, high quality clad thermopane windows, and wonderful
traditional architectural styling. At the entry, a concrete
driveway with brick dividers offers generous off-street parking
and easy access to the large 2-car garage with separate entry
doors. The oyster shell tabby walkway leads to the brick step
entry and the high portico entry porch. Note the raised panel,
naturally stained entry door with matching sidelights and
elliptical transom window.
Step
inside and the foyer soars 20 ft. above the entry. Long lasting
split bamboo flooring runs throughout the living elements
of the house providing an ideal setting for your treasured
rugs.
The
foyer opens to a great room/living room with 20 ft. couffered
ceiling, central wood burning fireplace with stone hearth
and surround and traditional mantle. There is a built-in double
bookcase with base cabinetry and a wall of glass to the rear
with double patio doors that lead to the outdoor oyster shell
tabby patio.
Off
the foyer and the great room is a formal dining room with
traditional columns, a boxed tray ceiling and lots of custom
mouldings. Triple elliptical transoms wash the room in natural
light and overlook the front entry porch. The formal dining
room opens to the great room, and there is a granite topped
wet bar and half-bath/powder room nearby.
Double
cased openings from the great room open to the large kitchen/Carolina
room. There is a huge double level center island with twin
stainless sinks and a raised eating area ideal for barstools.
Note all of the custom cabinetry with lots of roll-out drawers
and a full complement of GE Profile stainless appliances,
including convection oven, microwave, solid surface Profile
range, Profile double door refrigerator with thru-the-door
water and ice, and a stainless Bosche dishwasher. Adjacent
to the kitchen is a walk-in pantry, as well as a utility room
with Bosche washer, dryer and deep sink.
The
kitchen opens to a Carolina room as well as a separate breakfast
area. There is an architectural soffit with crown molding
that runs around the entire room.
The
Carolina room opens to a cozy screened porch and access to
the large expansive deck overlooking the marsh.
The
bedroom configuration is ideal. The master suite is conveniently
located on the 1st floor and is spacious and inviting. The
master bedroom is generous in size with room for a king sized
bed, separate furniture placement and lots of wall space.
There are his and her walk-in closets with double rod and
shelving and built-in drawer and storage. The master bath
is huge with his and her separate granite vanities, corner
set deep whirlpool tub set in a stone deck and a large doorless
stone shower with wall shower head as well as a rainhead shower.
There is a built-in niche for shampoo, as well as a European
style water closet.

#1 with a private en suite bath with large stone shower and
granite vanity.

#2 and #3, each with a private stone bath and generous closet
