A Spacious Place With Room to Grow: 2226 Blakers Boulevard

This delightful home in Bluffton's Mill Creek is not only conveniently located between Savannah, Hilton Head Island, and Beaufort, but it features one of the most thoughtful floor plans I've seen, making it perfect for someone with a large family or with plenty of frequent guests.  Tons of curb appeal, lots of indoor and outdoor living and entertaining space, and resort-quality amenities make this home an incredible value--and surely one that won't last long. 

With a stunning two-story brick and vinyl facade, 2226 Blakers makes a pleasant first impression.  With easy-to-maintain landscaping and room in both the spacious garage and large driveway for plenty of visitors, this corner lot home is perfect for homeowners who are looking for a home that welcome family, friends, guests, and frequent visitors. 
 

You enter the home to a stunning, bright two-story tiled foyer, open to both the formal living and dining room.  The openness between the rooms and the hallway keep the space bright, and the continuity of the dark laminate wood floors help to keep the flow continuing throughout.  This floor plan also ensures that entertaining is a breeze; guests and family can move from room to room without congesting any doorway or room.




The formal dining room opens onto a huge eat-in kitchen, with ample cabinet and counter space along with a separate pantry for storage. The eat-in space is bright and opens out to the huge fenced backyard, making grilling on warm spring and summer nights easy and keeping any potential mess from fun backyard games (played by two or four legged kids) confined to the tile floors. 



Attached to this spacious kitchen is an equally spacious family room, complete with multiple windows and a beautiful tiled fireplace.  The stairs to the four upstairs bedrooms can be found at the edge of this family room, a thoughtful choice that keeps the upstairs area private from guests and also keeps traffic away from the formal entertaining areas.

The four upstairs bedrooms offer plenty of room for family, friends, and visitors here to take advantage of the amazing South Carolina weather and incredible Bluffton golf and Hilton Head beaches.  The master bedroom, with vaulted ceilings and beautiful laminate wood floors, is incredibly spacious with windows on two walls to infuse the room with light.  The master bath is spacious and spa-like, with a garden tub and separate shower. 



The three other bedrooms are similarly spacious, with designer paint colors and a shared bathroom that is roomy enough to share.  Four bedrooms means plenty of room to grow or entertain or pursue a hobby.





Mill Creek offers incredible amenities, including a playground and a resort style pool (which includes a lazy river). The clubhouse is available for use by residents and the community is close to the new River Ridge Academy, which opens in Fall 2015 and serves grades K-8, and the new May River High School, scheduled to open in Fall 2016. 



Call Kristy Gonzalez to tour this incredible property--it may be the perfect fit for you and your South Carolina lifestyle.

JUST REDUCED! True Southern Dream Home: 16 Belfair Point Drive

Take a step into this gorgeous Lowcountry home, straight out of the pages of Southern Living. This well-planned, bright, and open home fits right in to the estate side of the beautiful Rose Hill plantation, a dream home surrounded by dream homes.  


Nothing says "Southern dream home" like a porch like this: wide, inviting, and perfect for rocking chairs and porch swings.  You can spend many evenings enjoying the beautiful Rose Hill views of estate homes and mature trees from this porch, entertaining friends or just entertaining time for peaceful thoughts and relaxation.  

 


Entering the home, you'll find more fantastic first impressions as you see the beautiful formal living room, with soaring ceilings that accentuate the space and warmth of every room, as well as create openness in the upstairs loft area. 


To the right of the front door is the formal dining room, a perfect place for family get togethers or holiday parties. This room is perfectly situated, open to both the formal living room and the kitchen for ease of entry and continuity of the fantastic floor plan flow that is a feature of this home.  The dining room also features the stunning Cherry Plank pine flooring that extends through the kitchen and family room area. 


The open kitchen is bright, open, and versatile, with upgraded stainless steel appliances and plenty of storage space.  The island offers room both for prep work and for sitting, and the built-in desk provides a fantastic homework, bill paying, or computer station. 



The casual family room and dining area extend directly off the kitchen, providing the open floor plan and great room benefits without sacrificing the separate formal areas that are perfect for entertaining.   Open to the rest of the home with two large doorways, the family room features beautiful built-in storage, a stunning stone fireplace, and plenty of light. The cozy room could be the perfect TV room or reading nook, leaving the formal living room for entertaining friends and family.

 

The master bedroom suite is spacious, as evidenced by this stunning master bath.  Plenty of light, both natural and provided by well-placed fixtures, make this spacious bath feel spa-like.  Double sinks, plenty of storage space, and a gorgeous garden tub create a spacious retreat--and the large walk-in closet is a nice addition as well. 

All of the bedrooms are bright and spacious, making them perfect for family members or for guests.  Neutral paint and carpet throughout make them move-in ready, prepared for virtually any decor or for your own personal design stamp. 



This gorgeous home sits in the estate portion of Rose Hill, so it is surrounded by some of the most stunningly beautiful homes in Bluffton.  In addition to the spacious front porch, the home offers a lovely back deck that looks out on trees, where you can grill or entertain or just enjoy the temperate SC weather.





  



Rose Hill offers a number of amenities, including  24-hour gated security, an equestrian center, multiple pools, tennis courts, and a boat landing on the Colleton River--all for low annual fees.  As an even more impressive added benefit, this home comes with a 1 year home warranty for buyers.

The bedrooms are spacious and light, with neutral carpeting throughout and plenty of closet space.  With four bedrooms, the home has plenty of space to both offer comfortable living space to friends or family as well as use one or more for flexible space, like an office or den or hobby room.
 



The master suite is truly a retreat.  The lovely master bath provides double sinks, an upgraded tiled shower, and an enormous amount of storage space. 

The walk-in closet is well planned and configured, for maximum use of the space--those shelves can keep even the largest shoe collection well organized and easy to access. 


The master bedroom itself is large, with walls of windows and access to the covered lanai. The plantation shutters offer a designer touch, as does the upgraded ceiling fan.  


The beautiful lanai faces both the lagoon and the golf course, providing top-notch views that cannot be matched.  The area is quite large, providing plenty of room for comfortable entertaining during get-togethers or simply enjoying the beautiful Bluffton weather year round.  The grassy area behind the house also offers plenty of room for two- or four-legged family members to enjoy the sunshine.

UNDER CONTRACT: Well-maintained Townhome with NO MONTHLY FEES: 350 Gardners Circle

Looking for a low-maintenance townhouse without the high monthly fee? The Farm is a great option--but it's hard to find available properties. This 2 BR/2.5 BA unit will go fast! With a perfect location and a thoughtful, flexible floor plan, 350 Gardeners Circle just may be the perfect property for you.   

This townhome has been lovingly maintained, and features a formal dining room in the front of the house, with a kitchen open to the dining room, the hallway, and the living area in back. 

Both the living area and the dining room are carpeted and spacious, especially for a townhome, with plenty of light and room to entertain and live comfortably.  With plenty of light from the open backyard and front windows, you'll love spending time in these pleasant rooms. 


The heart of the downstairs is the kitchen, which is large and open. Furnished with neutral cabinets and appliances, this is a kitchen that's perfect for someone who wants to put their own stamp on the space.  The blank palette is freedom to the new homeowners--you have plenty of time to decide what you want to do with it if you decide to renovate.


One of the most thoughtful elements of this townhome is the bedroom floor plan. Both bedrooms are large and have attached bathrooms, which makes for an enormous amount of privacy and separation on the second floor. Both bedrooms have plenty of storage space in closets, and the master has double closets and a very large master bath as well, with a separate shower and garden tub.



Truly one of the most beautiful parts of this townhome is the backyard. Fenced and private while retaining the view of the wooded backyard, this grassy area is large enough for playtime for two or four legged family members, entertainment, or just everyday enjoyment. 



Interested? Move quickly! These units normally sell incredibly fast because of the low yearly HOA fees and the lack of monthly maintenance charge, which is unusual in many townhome communities.  Give Kristy Gonzalez a call to schedule a showing!
