ease of being just a short walk or bike-ride to one of the most beautiful stretches of white-sandy beach on Hilton Head Island.
Once the home of a popular local artist, this home exudes a terrific combination of charm and character, resulting in an elegant yet casual beach-cottage feeling. From its wide-plank heart-pine flooring to its wooden window shutters to its crown molding, there are terrific touches of quality throughout the home, adding appeal to each of its rooms.
A long black-concrete driveway leads to the front of the home, passing manicure, mature landscaping on either side, including pines, palms, oaks, azaleas and much more. A side-entry, two car carport runs along the left-front of the home and offers an outstanding storage room with built-in potting shelf, natural light from a front window and integrated lighting overhead.
The covered front entry is accessed along a charming, Savannah-brick walkway flanked by a pair of columns and illuminated at night by an old-style “Onion-lamp” posted on the front of the home. The red-painted, multi-light front door leads into an open entry foyer complete with large coat closet, slate tile flooring, overhead light and crown molding.
The main living room of the home is accented with an expanded bay-wall of double-hung, divided-light windows with custom, wooden-shutters overlooking the front of the property. This beautiful accent feature of the room/home welcomes each morning’s sunrise as it faces out toward the Atlantic. The living room, with its wide-plank heart-pine flooring, recessed lighting, crown molding, fireplace and integrated bookcases/built-in cabinets, is comfortable and open as it feeds out in each direction to the kitchen, dining room, and guest bedroom hallways.
A clever folding-door leads from the living room into the bright eat-in kitchen along the right side of the home. This generously-sized kitchen features a black & white checkerboard ceramic-tile flooring that is washed with light by the overhead skylight as well as the integrated recessed and chandelier light fixtures. The re-faced white cabinets feature a nice combination of recessed-panels as well as glazed-fronts, including a large center island with an integrated breakfast-bar area complete with two bar-stools. There is a full compliment of matching-white appliances, including a down-draft Jenn-Aire smooth-top cooktop/oven, microwave, side-by-side refrigerator and a Kitchenaid dishwasher. Additionally, the home was designed for convenience that integrates the laundry machines and supplemental cabinetry into the flow of the kitchen workspace. Plus, the charming breakfast area features a wall of interior double-hung windows which originally overlooked the back of the property prior to the addition of the master bedroom suite.
A set of double divided-light interior French doors open from the eat-in kitchen into the dining room. With its overhead skylight and wall of windows along the back of the home, this light, bright and open space was originally a walk-out porch and still features the signature cypress “siding” along the interior walls. There is a patio door that opens out to a charming courtyard along the back of the home as well as a set of interior French doors that open back into the central living room from the dining room.
The beautiful heart pine flooring flows through the dining room to a back hallway that leads to a convenient side entry door as well as to the master suite. This hallway features a terrific butler’s closet with deep shelves for outstanding storage, and the patio door at the end opens out to a poured-concrete courtyard, complete with outdoor shower, utility closet and critter-proof refuse container storage.
The master suite enjoys terrific privacy from the main section of the home with its long, integrated hallway that provides access to the separate his & her bathrooms and his & her walk-in closets. With its elevated ceiling line, the bedroom features exposed, dark-stained, antique beams that contrast beautifully with the light-filled room boasting two walls of glass. A divided light patio door opens out to the courtyard, providing a picturesque view for the master suite.
A pair of his and her walk-in closets feature heart-pine flooring, full-size windows and a thoughtful arrangement of built-in organizers. The suite also features his and her bathrooms, one offering a large walk-in shower, one offering a Jacuzzi-style tub, and both featuring tile flooring, extended-length single vanities, large linen closets and bountiful natural light. There is also an additional storage/linen/sundry closet located in the suite integrated hallway
The home features three private guest bedrooms along the left side of the floorplan, one with its own private bathroom. This guest suite features a large clothes closet, recessed lighting, multiple windows, and its private bathroom is appointed with tile finishes and a combination shower/bathtub. The hallway leading to this guest suite provides access to two oversized storage closets, ideal for long-term and seasonal storage.
A pocket door from the living room leads into a hallway of heart-pine flooring and integrated lighting, appointing the access-way to the remaining two guest rooms and the guest bathroom. The bedroom to the right enjoys a continuation of the warm heart-pine flooring and features recessed lighting, an overhead ceiling fan, integrated bookcases, a bay of double-hung windows and a walk-in closet. The bedroom to the left is very generous in size and features recessed lighting, a double clothes closet and windows on two walls.
The exterior of the home abounds with charm with its continuous series of divided light windows and doors appointed with traditional louvered shutters in a rich, Charleston-green finish. The garden courtyard along the back of the home provides a terrific outdoor living space, creating the perfect view-feature from multiple rooms in the home. With its pierced-brick wall consumed by a rich-green creeping-fig vine and its integrated double iron gate, this spacious courtyard is ideal for outdoor dining, peaceful privacy, and terrific place for potting and enjoying plants. Wall-hung “onion lamps” provide evening-time lighting, and there is integrated wiring to allow for a future fountain within the courtyard walls.
The home enjoys a wooded view as it overlooks deeded open space to the rear of the property. The quiet road at the front of the home is accessed via a charming lane that provides easy access to the main roads of Greenwood Drive and Sea Pines Drive on either end. And there is a convenient point of access to the miles-long network of leisure trails just prior to the end of the Lane.
