Golf Views ... The Oyster Reef neighborhood is located in the heart of the private residential community of Hilton Head Plantation. The Rees Jones designed Oyster Reef Golf Course weaves its way through this neighborhood, and the Lochridge home enjoys sweeping tee-to-green views of the No. 13 Oyster Reef fairway. Here, the elevation is high, and all of the grounds have been professionally landscaped in an easily maintained design.

This home is being sold by its original owner. When built, the Lochridges chose long-time island custom homebuilder, Bill Fishburne, to execute their design. The home has been lightly used as a part-time residence and has enjoyed careful maintenance with numerous replacements. It is in move-in ready condition for its new owner.

At the entry, a concrete drive offers generous off-street parking and easy access to the large 2-car garage. An aggregate walk leads to a covered entry and the 8-panel naturally stained entry door. Pause for a moment and note the new roof and top-of-the-line Peachtree Ariel clad window system.

Step inside and a light tile paves the foyer and connects the common elements of the home. A large overhead skylight washes the foyer in natural light. The foyer opens to a great room/living room with a high tray ceiling. Off to the left is a gas fireplace with a flush marble hearth and traditional mantle, flanked on either side by base cabinetry and bookcases. A wall of fixed glass and full-length sliders bring the golf views inside this room and offer easy access to the aggregate patio across the back of the home. You will note the over height 9 ft. ceilings in addition to the tray ceiling treatment. Off the great room is a formal dining room with built-in wet bar and butler service area. Chair rail and crown molding accent the room, and there is easy access to the kitchen through a large cased opening.

With access from the great room and dining room, there is cozy Carolina room with a tray ceiling and sliders to the outdoor patio.

The kitchen is bright and cheerful with a generous amount of raised panel laminate cabinetry. All of the appliances have been replaced over time, and there is a tile backsplash above the stove. The kitchen opens to a bay window breakfast area, ideal for casual dining. There is also a built-in desk.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility area with deep sink and recently replaced washer and dryer. There is also a half bath powder room. Beyond is an ideal flex room, which the present owner uses as an art studio, but also would make an outstanding office, craft room or other activity area. From this room, there is easy access to the large 2-car garage.

The bedroom configuration is ideal. Off the foyer, the den/3 rd bedroom enjoys easy access to the Jack and Jill shared bath but also doubles as a TV room or study. This room, along with the adjacent 2 nd guest bedroom, are oversized and have bay windows that bring in natural light. Between these two bedrooms is a shared bath with separate vanity and tub and is finished in a light tile.

Across the hall, the master bedroom is huge with room for twin beds or a king sized bed. The bay window offers ideal flexibility for furniture placement, and there are two built-in window seats for linen storage. There is separate vanity area with overhead skylight. Inside the bath, there is a 2 nd vanity area, soaking tub with tile surround, and a walk-in tiled shower. There are his and her walk-in closets with double rod and shelving. Don't miss the cedar closet for off-season clothing storage.

To the rear of the home, with easy access from the great room and Carolina room, is an aggregate patio, perfect for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the views of the Oyster Reef Golf Course.

Notable features of this home include recently replaced roof, all appliances replaced over time, replaced HVAC system, gas fireplace, 9 ft. ceiling heights, skylights, tray ceilings, Peachtree ariel clad window system, wet bar, central station alarm system, and office/studio/study.
