LARGE PRIVATE LOT ... The Big Woods neighborhood is located in the heart of the private residential community of Hilton Head Plantation. This cul-de-sac community is surrounded on 3 sides by the Whooping Crane Pond Nature Conservancy. Wildlife and privacy are the hallmarks of this wonderful neighborhood. The Keelers originally purchased this lot in the early stages of development of Hilton Head Plantation to build their ultimate retirement home. They've lovingly cared for this property since day one. Long-time island homebuilder and twice nominated Builder of the Year, Chris Construction, was chosen to build this fine home.

At the entrance, a driveway leads to a large 2-car garage and offers generous off-street parking. You will note the grounds are set in a low maintenance landscape configuration, minimizing yard care. Note the front porch Lowcountry facade with the doublehung windows and shutters. The covered entry/front porch is paved with the historical oyster shell tabby, and there are double 6-panel front entry doors.

Step inside and an earth tone tile runs throughout the foyer. To the left is a formal dining room which, in similar floor plans, has been set up as a 3 rd bedroom and could be again with minor modifications. The foyer opens to a formal living room that centers on a Savannah gray brick fireplace with a solid masonry chimney. Doublehung windows on either side of the fireplace wash the room in natural light.

Double doors off the formal living room open to a Carolina room that is adjacent to the kitchen. Built-in bookshelves and base cabinetry are ideal for an entertainment system. The Carolina room opens to a solarium sun porch with terra cotta tile floors and glass from floor to ceiling that opens into the rear yard.

There is large eat-in kitchen with a full complement of cherry raised panel wood cabinetry. There is a full assortment of appliances including GE range, Whirlpool dishwasher, and GE double door refrigerator. The double bowl stainless sink with filtered water dispenser is located in an alcove that looks out to the garden area. A bar separates the kitchen from the breakfast area, and there is a removable built-in computer station that can stay or be removed. Adjacent to the kitchen breakfast area is a half-bath powder room, and a utility room with Whirlpool washer and dryer and double sink.

Off the foyer is a hallway that provides easy access to the bedroom wing of the home and also has several closets for storage. There is a guest bedroom with double closets and easy access to the full guest bath. The master suite is large with generous wall space for furniture placement and sliders to an outdoor patio. The master bath has his and her vanity and an all-tile stall shower. There is a large walk-in closet with rod and double shelving.

With access from the bedroom and the Carolina room is a patio and a rear deck that opens to the backyard with generous open space to the rear of the home.
