Hilton Head Real Estate

Approaching this property on Hawthorne Road, there are glimpses of the challenging par 3, 8th hole of the Nicklaus Golf Course. The tree canopy along this pleasant drive features many native Live Oaks and Southern Magnolias and makes it one of the prettiest streets in Colleton River Plantation.

From the outside, there is an immediate sense that this home has been beautifully maintained. The landscaping is spectacular and accents the harmony of the home to its surroundings.

The double front doors are welcoming while allowing a glimpse of the outstanding view beyond. If it is true that a first decision to purchase a home is made at the front door, this home would be a likely choice.

Once inside the spacious foyer, the archway to the living room frames the inviting area beyond, complete with fireplace and built-ins. A series of windows and doors open onto the delightful covered terrace creating an ideal setting for gracious entertaining.

The great room is complete with bar, informal dining, and a perfect sitting room to share morning coffee. The kitchen is spacious with granite counters, glazed cream cabinetry, a warming drawer, a trash compactor and other appliances that will satisfy chefs from novice to gourmet. A covered grill porch with a built in TEC grill is convenient and ideal for use in any weather.

A butler’s pantry provides extra china and crystal storage in addition to a well-designed service area. The formal dining room provides an intimate setting for entertaining family and friends.

A convenient office is located off the main living area with double doors for added privacy. This is an ideal getaway for completing business items or watching a favorite sporting event.

The first floor master suite has easy access to the terrace and pool. Large windows enhance the view from the sitting area of the room. Two master closets provide for his and her separation and abundant storage. The spacious master bath has an over-sized shower and separate vanities.

Perhaps the most outstanding feature of this exquisite home is the extraordinary view, highlighted by the covered terrace and pool with a spectacular southern exposure. The view is across a large and picturesque lagoon that frames the distant par 5, 7th green. Nearby homes are completely obscured by trees, landscaping, and thoughtful orientations creating a wonderfully private setting.

All of this adds to a perfect lifestyle for the owners who normally focus all of their living on one floor. However, South Carolina residents know that guests will enjoy visiting – both family and friends. The design of this home is well-planned for these accommodations as well.

Upstairs there are two large guest suites, each with its own bath, plus a loft area with built in twin beds for visiting children or grandchildren. For the individual who may need additional space, an unfinished bonus room has large windows and is ready to be transformed to meet the needs of any potential owner.

For the discriminating purchaser who considers a fabulous view essential and wants a home that is elegantly presented and beautifully maintained, this home is an excellent choice. Colleton River Plantation is an upscale community with two top 100 rated golf courses, and two clubhouses. An outstanding fitness center, tennis center, community pool and miles of biking and walking/running paths add up to the best of the best. This is an opportunity not be missed.
