VIEW ... The
Headlands neighborhood is home to the 225-member private Rees
Jones designed Bear Creek Golf Course. This wonderful layout
wanders through the neighborhood offering views of green fairways
and sparkling freshwater lagoons. All of the shopping amenities
of Main Street located just outside the gate are nearby. The
Watkins home is located at the end of a private cul-de-sac
with lots of open space to the rear of the home and long views
of a freshwater lagoon. Off the cul-de-sac, a driveway offers
access to the garage. A meandering concrete walk leads to
a covered entry that is washed in natural light with an overhead
skylight.
Step
through the 8-panel entry door flanked on either side by sidelights
to the foyer which is finished in natural wood flooring. This
home has a most interesting design which is ideal for entertaining.
There are two living spaces (a formal living room and a Carolina
room) that share a doublesided fireplace with traditional
mantles and flush hearths. One room opens to a large formal
dining room with unique corner glass and lots of wall space
ideal for furniture placement. This room can accommodate an
extremely large dining table, and there is a wall niche for
a sideboard. The ceiling is finished in a high tray. The living
room/great room also has a tray ceiling, and there are double
passageways around the center fireplace that open to the Carolina
room with an expansive bay window that opens to the wonderful
lagoon view. Note all of the open space to the rear of the
home and the wonderful depth of the backyard.
The
kitchen has been updated with a large center island finished
in granite and a deep double bowl sink. There is a full complement
of newer stainless front appliances, a wall of reach-in pantry
cabinetry, and breakfast area overlooking the view. With easy
access from the kitchen and the great room, there is a cozy
solarium with double doors that open to a covered deck with
skylight. Stand here for a moment and enjoy the view.
Off
the kitchen is a utility room with deep sink, washer, dryer,
and easy access to a half-bath powder room. A door from the
utility room leads to the oversized 1-car garage with storage
closet.
An
extra wide hallway leads to the bedroom wing of the home.
Bedroom #3 is ideally set up as a den/study/overflow bedroom
with double closets and double doors off the hallway. The
large guest bedroom has 2 large closets and both rooms enjoy
easy access to an all-tile guest bath with overhead skylight.

master bedroom has triple closets and a wonderful master bath
with granite counter tops, deep soaking whirlpool tub and
a stall shower.
