| INTRACOASTAL
WATERWAY ... This
one owner home is situated on a highly prized homesite with
fabulous sunset views across the Intracoastal Waterway . Conveniently
located to all of the facilities of the Country Club of Hilton
Head, you are a short walk to the health club, indoor pool,
fine dining, tennis and golf. The full service Skull Creek
Marina is nearby and excellent dining is available a short
walk away at the Old Fort Pub. This bluff front location enjoys
wonderful privacy as you look across the salt marsh, the Intracoastal
Waterway and the federally protected Pinckney Wildlife Refuge
beyond. Off to the north are the broad waters of Port Royal
Sound.
The
owner chose long-time architect, Wayne Windham, to execute
his thoughts in an extremely well planned home. The residence
is wheelchair friendly, as that was the owner's requirement,
with all of the living space on the 1st floor. Architectural
glass on the view washes the rooms in natural sunlight, and
the floor plan is open and flowing.
At
the entrance, an aggregate driveway leads to the courtyard
entry with wrought entry gates. Note the mature landscaping
including palms, Savannah holly, magnolia and other wonderful
plantings. The landscape plan is easy to care for and is nurtured
with an automatic sprinkler system. As you approach the double
leaded and beveled glass entry doors through the gated courtyard
entry, note the architectural glass above.
Step
inside this 3500+ sq. ft. home and the view explodes before
you. The foyer is paved in a stained, natural hardwood which
connects the common living elements of the home. The foyer
opens to a great room plan with high vaulted ceiling, built-in
bookcases, a gas fireplace, an overhead paddle fan and accent
lighting. The great room opens to a formal dining room with
lots of wall space for furniture placement. Nearby is a wet
bar with granite top and mirrored glass shelving.
The
home is designed around the ever popular kitchen/Carolina
room concept. The great room, dining room, and Carolina room
flow together at one for gracious entertaining.
The
kitchen has been nicely updated and has a generous amount
of raised panel, naturally stained wood cabinetry, all topped
in granite with a granite backsplash, and a full complement
of new appliances including a 6-burner gas range. There is
a double door GE Monogram refrigerator with thru-the-door
water and ice, microwave, and oven. The kitchen opens to the
Carolina room, and there is a breakfast bar with barstool
seating. The Carolina room has double sliders to a generous
amount of outdoor deck and also opens to a unique corner breakfast
room. Pause and notice how the architect captured the views
from every room. Off the Carolina room is a screened porch
with tile floors, all weather enclosures and easy access to
the outdoor deck.
Off
the foyer are a half bath powder room, an office/study, and
easy access to a utility room and large 2-car garage.
The
master suite is located on the ground floor. Note the wide
doorways and easy passage to the bath for wheelchair access
if necessary. His and her master baths are joined in the middle
by an all-tile shower. There is generous closet space and
the lady's bath has a recessed makeup vanity. The master bedroom
has a unique vaulted ceiling and architectural corner glass
with spectacular views from the master bed all the way to
Port Royal Sound. Sliders give access to the outdoor deck.
Stairs
from the foyer lead to an upstairs landing with glass accented
balcony overlooking the great room. There are 3 nicely separated
guest bedrooms on the 2 nd floor. Two of the guest bedrooms
share a Jack and Jill bath and both have generous closet space.
The 3 rd guest bedroom suite is large enough for a separate
sitting area, has a walk-in closet and an en suite bath. Again,
note the unique corner architectural glass.
To
the rear of the home is a generous amount of decking with
a gently sloping ramp down to a private seating area near
the marsh overlooking the spectacular view.
This
home has been lovingly cared for by its original owner and
used sparingly as a part-time residence. Notable features
of this fine home include 3-zone HVAC system, aggregate driveway
with courtyard entry, gas fireplace, ground floor master suite,
whirlpool tub, unique architectural design, granite kitchen
with new appliances, central station alarm system, screened
porch, and wheelchair friendly.
