Windmill Harbour

What is a WISE Home?

37 Harbour Passage is a handsomely-renovated townhome that enjoys a rare end-lot location, offering outstanding privacy plus added natural light through side-wall windows (not found in the more-common “sandwiched” townhomes). Plus, the adjacent open-space land to the left of the home provides an added sense of property that is unique to this particular location. These attributes tied in with the quiet, cul-de-sac location make for an ideal setting within this very popular gated community called Windmill Harbour.
The Charleston-style architecture of 37 Harbour Passage incorporates a dramatic entry stair with private balconies and tasteful and creative use of glass.

The wide wooden stairs lead off of the custom concrete driveway at the front of the home and rise to a charming covered entry complete with elegant wall-lanterns and maintenance-free porcelain tile that was hand-laid. The glass entry door is accompanied by a full-width sidelight and a set of double clerestory windows that amplify the effect of the two-story foyer. Hardwood flooring leads straight ahead to the main living areas as well as left, directing you to the hall bathroom, coat closet, stairs reaching to the second floor and the convenient stairway access to the ground floor, under-home garage/storage area.

Immediately to the right of the entry foyer is a bedroom/library/study/in-home office. With its flexible use, this light and bright room features new carpeting, a smooth-finish ceiling with integrated ceiling fan and recessed lighting, a desk nook, full closet and a double-window overlooking the front of the property. There is convenient access to the full bathroom located just down the hallway, readily making this one of three comfortable bedrooms in the townhome.

Walking from the foyer toward the back of the townhome, you are struck with the marsh and water views that appoint nearly every room of the property. The dining room and eat-in kitchen are on opposite sides of the central hallway, while the living room is “sunken” at the far back of the home. Each one of these spaces is architecturally “open” so as to create a flowing floorplan from casual to elegant…cooking to dining…reading to entertaining. And each enjoys spectacular vistas that seemingly reach for miles with the absolute privacy that can only come from this amount of separation between you and the homes barely visible off in the distance.

The gourmet kitchen features hardwood flooring, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, recessed lighting and the compliment of natural lighting through three separate windows. Plus, there is a charming breakfast area that provides a clever “perch” above the sunken living room below. The living room offers hardwood flooring, a double-sided wood-burning fireplace with travertine-stone surround, an overhead ceiling fan and even high-end custom “dental”-molding. The dining room is separated from the living room by a half-wall and enjoys elegant features such as custom wainscoting, chair-railing and crown-molding.

An open-spindle staircase leads to the second floor of the townhome, landing into a hardwood-floored hallway featuring convenient access to the 2nd guest suite, the master bedroom suite, a 2nd-floor laundry room, and attic storage space via a pull-down staircase. The 2nd guest suite features a cathedral ceiling with integrated ceiling fan/light fixture, a full closet, a private, full-size bathroom, and, perhaps best of all, a private balcony overlooking the unique “locked” marina. This suite’s private bathroom is all-new, including tile flooring, custom vanity, shower/tub combination with tile surround, and a handy linen closet.

The master suite is the crowned jewel of this townhome, featuring a spacious master bedroom, lavish master bathroom, oversized walk-in closet and full-width covered balcony complete with integrated lighting and overhead ceiling fans. Custom finishes throughout the suite include a double-door entry, hardwood flooring, extended-height cathedral ceiling with integrated fan, two sets of french-doors leading to the private balcony PLUS tile flooring, double-vanity, corner-location jacuzzi-tub, walk-in tile shower, water closet, double-tray ceiling with indirect lighting and extensive use of windows. Enjoy commanding views from every spot in this incredible master suite!

Outside living space is essential with this type of setting, and this beautiful townhome enjoys an oversized back deck that seemingly “floats” out toward the marsh. Accessed via two sets of french doors off of the living room, the back deck provides ample room for outdoor dining as well as sunbathing or just taking in the natural beauty and wildlife that abound here. A stairway leads down to the back yard of the property, which features a stepping-stone path that ends at a picture-perfect bench seat at the edge of the marsh. Along with the beautiful form of the grounds of 37 Harbour Passage, there is also terrific function, including significant storage located at the ground level under the back deck, a convenient open-air storage area below the front stairs, a double-width concrete driveway, and a superb amount of garage and poured-concrete storage space below the home. All of this is brilliantly appointed with updated landscaping, stately Oaks, charming Palmettos and soaring Pines that nestle this townhome ideally into this special homesite location.

Recent and significant updates to this special property include: New roof, new plumbing, new exterior and interior painting, new water heater, new irrigation system, new hardware, new light fixtures, all-new kitchen, new carpeting, new hardwood floors and much, much more. In all, 37 Harbour Passage looks and feels like a brand-new home!

Windmill Harbour is vastly becoming THE neighborhood community in the Hilton Head Island area. Adorned with walking paths, low-speed-limit roadways, an extended promenade along the locked-harbour marina, a boat ramp, various-sized boat slips for rent or sale, a full-time security force with gated entry, a private dining/social club and much, much more, Windmill Harbour seems to present the best of all worlds for families and retirees alike. Plus, with its convenient location at the foot of the bridge to Bluffton, residents enjoy quick access to businesses and attractions both on the Island and on the Mainland.

Memberships at the popular and picturesque South Carolina Yacht Club are still available – but hurry, as the club is quickly approaching its membership maximum! This sought-after social/dining/boating club is hailed for its renowned service-staff, southern architecture and rich history of long-standing tradition. Membership provides access to the private pool, tennis courts, club facility and more. For more information, ask your Collins Group Realty representative today!
