You will love this handsomely renovated/expanded/updated home situated with unparalleled, commanding views of the famed Harbourtown Golf Links in beautiful Sea Pines Plantation. This now-5 bedroom, 4 and ½ bathroom home features an open and bright plan across 2-stories, all newly appointed with high-end finishes such as heart pine flooring, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, Kohler fixtures, recessed lighting, thermo-pane windows, Savannah-brick fireplaces, stone bathrooms, solid-core bead-board passage doors, cottage-style millwork and much more. And to complete the Island-living experience, the home now features an all-new free-form swimming pool with integrated waterfall…plus the home is located just minutes to the spectacular Atlantic Ocean beaches…

Boasting terrific curb appeal with its combination of cedar shake and cypress siding, divided-light windows, operable shutters and warm color-scheme, the home is inviting from the moment you pull onto the all-new steel-edged gravel driveway, which leads to the detached, side-entry two-car garage, featuring overhead storage as well as an adjacent utility courtyard. A Lowcountry paver walkway leads from the drive to the covered front porch as well as to the private pool area located on the left side of property. Copper-topped railings appoint the elevated front porch, which is accented with recessed lighting, a carriage-house style lantern and glass entry door with twin fixed-pane sidelights.

The entry foyer features beautiful mixed-grain heart pine flooring, custom recessed lighting, soft colored walls and the convenience of a double-size coat closet plus an additional generously-sized storage closet. Three of the five total bedrooms are situated to the left and right of the foyer/center hallway, providing nice privacy from the main living areas of the home.

The bright and flowing plan opens from the foyer/center hallway into an oversized great-room, complete with vaulted wood-paneled ceiling, heart-pine flooring, overhead lighting, large skylight and an abundance of natural light from two sets of French doors plus a series of clerestory windows. Of special interest, the great room features an arched-opening, raised-hearth Savannah-brick fireplace (complete with solid pine mantle), which serves as a terrific interior focal point bested only by the compelling golf views achieved from this multi-functional living space.

The 2008 remodel of this home resulted in the expansion and creation of a fantastic gourmet kitchen/breakfast room/family room combination, situated ideally to take in views of the golf course, the private pool and even natural open space located to the rear of the property. The thoughtfully-designed space features a large center-island, providing integrated eat-in seating as well as an abundance of cabinet storage space. The dark granite countertops are washed with accent pendant lights, creating a rich compliment to the hand-stained, light-wood cabinets and warm heart pine floors.

The kitchen features a wonderful array of appliances, including a side-by-side KitchenAid refrigerator/freezer with in-door ice and water service, a GE Profile stainless steel Advantium/microwave oven, a GE Profile stainless steel self-cleaning wall oven, A GE Profile stainless steel dishwasher, a GE Profile wine-fridge and a GE Profile smooth-finish cooktop with overhead Tradewind exhaust-hood with integrated lighting. Other special features of the kitchen include a unique stainless-steel farm-sink, a pot-filler faucet, bright-white subway tile backsplash, a stand-alone glass-front display cabinet, and a walk-in pantry with custom wood shelving.

The kitchen also features an arched-opening, raised-hearth Savannah-brick fireplace, creating a warm ambiance for the room. The adjoining family room area features an overhead ceiling fan, recessed lighting, twin double-hung windows and a French door opening out to the large back deck. A separate French door in the kitchen area opens directly out to the paver-finished pool deck on the left side of the house.

The large back deck is accessible from the house via three sets of French doors and is partially covered by the overhead private balcony off of the second-floor master suite. The pressure-treated wood decking offers a clean, low-maintenance finish and includes a convenient set of steps to access the surrounding landscaping and back/side yard.

The private pool features a custom tile-surround, integrated steps, and an elevated waterfall. The Lowcountry paver pool deck is beautifully complimented by the surrounding landscaping, and the pool area enjoys nice privacy as a result of the deep lot line and neighboring open space.

A half-glass patio door located in the laundry room provides convenient access to and from the pool area and house, allowing for the home’s half-bath to also serve as a handy “pool bath.” This bathroom, located off of the side hallway, is finished with heart pine flooring, white pedestal sink and Jacuzzi commode. The laundry room also features heart pine floors, extensive upper and base cabinetry, a granite countertop with integrated Franke stainless-steel sink, and ample room for full size top or front-load laundry machines.

The three primary guest rooms are located on the main level, each featuring plush carpeted flooring, overhead ceiling fans, sizable closets, multiple windows, and rich decorator colors. One of the guest rooms is en suite, featuring its own private travertine-stone bathroom. This lavish bath is complete with granite-topped beaded-board cabinetry, custom-designed tile-surround Kohler shower/tub, and integrated wall-sconce lighting. The other two guest rooms share a jack-and-jill style, two-part bathroom, complete with mosaic ceramic tile flooring, a Carrera-marble topped double sink vanity, a subway-tile surround Kohler shower/tub, a Jacuzzi commode and integrated lighting.

A partially-open, pine-tread staircase leads to the second floor from the great room, landing on an upper hallway awash with natural light from a series of large, fixed-pane clerestory windows. The in-law/guest suite is located on the front end of the home, featuring a generous-sized bedroom with private balcony and a master-sized private bathroom. The bathroom is appointed with travertine stone flooring, granite-topped double-sink vanity, large walk-in stone surround shower, and a terrific walk-in closet.

The master suite consumes the balance of the upstairs plan, including a large sitting/bonus room situated prior to the main entrance to the master bedroom. The bonus room is outfitted with plush carpeting, integrated bookcases, recessed lighting and a pair of overhead skylights, complete with custom blinds. This flexible space is ideal for a private den/TV room, media room, in-home office, etc...
