SOLD! 18 Heather Glenn Lane: Huge, Flexible Space on Amazing Corner Lot

How often do you find a home in the low $200s that can be described as having tons of living space? It's not always true, especially with a 4 bedroom home, but in this case, 18 Heather Glenn Lane is exactly that--full of flexible living space at a price that absolutely cannot be beaten.


Sitting in the charming Pine Ridge neighborhood, on an enormous corner lot, this 2600+ square foot home is like a blank canvas waiting for you to make it your own.  The ground floor features lots of flexible living space, beginning with a front room that can be a formal living and dining room combo. 



A large opening moves the flow into an even larger more casual living space, just off the kitchen. This space allows access to the upstairs and has a beautiful view of the huge backyard.  The flexibility of these spaces is really what is most impressive here--they are large and can be adapted to whatever you need. Imagine the possibilities--the front room could serve as the main living area, while the back family room area became a playroom, a hobby room, an office, or whatever you and your family need.  Living space this large is hard to find!



You might think that such large living areas would automatically mean giving up kitchen size--but in this case, you'd be absolutely wrong. This kitchen is extraordinarily large, with plenty of room to add an island for additional prep space and a fantastic eat-in area for casual dining.  


Though there are quite a few cabinets for storage, a separate pantry offers additional storage space.  Just off the kitchen, a door leads to the screened porch, extending the living and entertaining space into the outdoors. 







One of the most unique features of this home, besides the extraordinary living space downstairs, is the bedroom and bathroom off the kitchen. Completely separate from the rest of the bedrooms, this separate area creates almost an in-law or guest suite.





Upstairs, the flexible space continues with an impressively sized loft that can be used as another living area, a playroom, an office, a hobby area, or anything else that you might need. It's entirely open to your interpretation and adaptation! The loft also has a storage area, which makes it even more of a benefit.


The master and two other bedrooms are upstairs, off of a common hallway. The two smaller bedrooms share a large hallway bath, and would be perfect for family members or guests.  The separation by the bathroom allows for additional privacy by preventing any wall sharing. 



The master bedroom has beautiful tray ceilings and an enormous amount of space (are you seeing a trend?).  With a spacious master bath, complete with double vanities and an incredible walk-in closet, the master will become your favorite spot in the home. This master is a true retreat in the making!




This house is such an amazing opportunity for the right buyer--amazing square footage on a premium corner lot with tons of outdoor space.  The Pine Ridge community is located just off of Buckwalter Parkway, just minutes from the Bluffton school complex and not far from shopping, entertainment, and walking trails. 

This incredible value will not last--give Kristy Gonzalez a call to set up your private tour of this home and see yourself making it your own!

SOLD! Totally Renovated and Completely Captivating: 1 Rose Hill Drive

Completely renovated in 2013, this beautiful Rose Hill home simply can't be done justice in pictures, but this 3-D tour comes as close as we can really get.  This is a tremendous value for this one acre lot for its marsh to river views! Lowcountry style with an open floor plan, this four bedroom, one-level home cannot be beat.  This home is a fully renovated beauty, the perfect home for entertaining and living beautifully.


Entering into the beautiful home, across a rocking chair porch that looks out onto mature trees and a beautiful lawn, you'll see an open living area that forms the heart of the home.  Dining and entertaining happen here, with nearly floor to ceiling windows out onto the beautiful views. 


The living room looks out onto one of two screened porches in the home, which also features a Carolina Room and an outdoor grilling deck. This home knows how to maximize every inch of its fantastic marsh to river views!



Screened Porch #1

To the right of the front door, you'll walk into a completely custom kitchen. This room is one of many that reflects the care and thought that went into the 2013 renovation.  Tall, customized cabinets offer an incredible amount of storage and upgraded stainless steel appliances and granite countertops turn this comfortable space into an elegant working space. A casual eat-in area offers a bright and friendly alternative to the formal dining area.



To the left of the front door, across the entry from the kitchen, a powder room and the laundry room sit, out of the way and perfectly design to maximize storage and space.



Through the foyer and to the left sits a door that leads to bedroom number 1.  Bedroom number 1 is a light-filled wonder, currently being used as an office and sitting room.  It could easily continue to be used as an inspiring office, hobby room, art studio, or sitting room, or it could be repurposed as a very private guest room. This would make the perfect space for visitors, as the bedroom sits at the end of a hallway with its own door and bath. 


With one half of the room almost completely comprised of windows, it's a unique space that highlights the beautiful views of this Bluffton beauty.   If you want to show your visitors what the Lowcountry is made of, let them wake up to these views!


Across the living area, you'll find another very private sanctuary, with a separate hall and bath (that houses a spacious walk-in closet) that leads to spacious bedroom #2.  The room features a sitting room with plenty of beautiful windows and screened porch #2. 





The back of the house features two additional bedrooms, including the master bedroom and another beautiful guest room with sitting room.  Both bedrooms lead out to balconies or decks.







Every bathroom has been carefully updated, with granite countertops and beautiful new fixtures, and every room feels like it could work as a private retreat for anyone. With such spacious, beautiful design and updates--like oak wood floors and high ceilings throughout--it's an incredible home built for entertaining or sharing with the people that you love.

As if the stunningly updated home was not enough to fall in love, the three-car garage is also a thing of beauty.  One bay of the garage features shelving, which would be great for a workshop, for storage, or even for a boat.  This extra storage on top of the spacious lot makes 1 Rose Hill Drive a true dream home. 


Rose Hill offers an incredible amount of amenities for a truly affordable price. You'll receive 24/7 security, golf and tennis, a pool and a playground, as well as equestrian facilities.  The location cannot be matched--just off of 278, it's perfect for anyone who wants easy access to Beaufort, Bluffton, or HHI.

Give Kristy Gonzalez a call--this house certainly won't last and you won't find another one like it.

SOLD! Natural Surroundings and Spacious Living in Mill Creek: 138 Planters Row


Beautiful wooded views surround this corner lot 4 bedroom home, and your wooded views will not change, because the surrounding area is a nature preserve and, therefore, protected.  4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with more than 1700 square feet of living space and beautiful outdoor areas to enjoy, in Mill Creek, this home is located right in the hub of Bluffton growth and, therefore, closest to the newest schools and shopping.

 







The beautiful open living/dining/kitchen area invites you in, with lovely wood floors and a literal wall of windows and French doors that maximize the beautiful views.  A brick fireplace becomes a striking counterpoint to those windows, creating a cozy center for a room that is made for living.


But the living area nearly doubles in size when you open the French doors and take advantage of the year-round room.  Glassed and finished, with nothing to block the views of the nature behind it, this room could be anything you wanted to be: an office, a casual living area, or a more formal dining room. The possibilities are endless, and the extra square footage is quite attractive for anyone who wants to entertain or simply have more room to live.



The kitchen area is quite large, with beautiful cabinet finishes, updated tile backsplash, and wood floors throughout. With the laundry conveniently located just off the kitchen and a beautiful eat-in nook, the space feels inviting and spacious without being overwhelming. 




 The eat-in nook is quite special, with a bay window and built-in benches that provide both seating and storage, and allows a dedicated dining area that feels separate and perfect for family meals and game nights.



The first floor master bedroom is large, as is the master bathroom, and having bedroom separation can be very desirable for those with children or family members living with them, or especially for those who entertain overnight guests frequently. The privacy allows the master to become a retreat, often what anyone needs at the end of a long day.



The other three bedrooms are quite roomy, and offer flexible space. One is currently being used as a media room/man cave, but could easily be transformed into an office space or hobby room. The others offer plenty of room--as you can see, the room with the angled walls can fit a full sized bed AND a twin bed with plenty of room to spare. 


 
 

 

 One of the unsung benefits of this beautiful home is the expansive outdoor area. The side entry garage and circular driveway are so helpful for guest parking or homeowner parking, as well as extra area for play.  The backyard and the side yard offer so much room to roam, for two or four legged kids, and provides an incredible amount of curb appeal.






Mill Creek offers incredible amenities to homeowners, including a lazy river resort-style pool, fitness center, and clubhouse, and is centrally located near the brand new River Ridge Academy and the soon-to-open May River High School.  Close to shopping and entertainment, Mill Creek is close to Savannah, Beaufort, and Bluffton.

You can't go wrong with this beautiful home. Call Kristy at (843) 298-3808 for more details or to set up a showing.

SOLD! Spacious and Flexible, Upgrades Galore: 50 White Oaks

Combine a stunningly large lot size, incredible square footage, and a difficult-to-beat golf course view in desirable Rose Hill and a price tag under $300,000 and you have a property that will NOT stay on the market long! 50 White Oaks provides just that, as well as a handful of impressive upgrades that makes this a dream home for the right buyer.

Canopied by mature trees and sitting right on the golf course, this property offers both privacy and plenty of room for entertaining family and friends, with a split bedroom floor plan that maximizes the square footage and a year-round porch and Savannah brick patio that expands your living space to embrace the beauty of the view.




With soaring vaulted ceilings, a beautiful exposed brick facade, and wooden beam detailing, along with wood floors throughout, the living area feels both spacious and cozy, with a beautiful fireplace and a wall of windows that beckons to the outdoors.


A formal dining room off of the living room provides multiple options, either for entertaining and formal meals or as a space for an office, playroom, or hobby room.  

The upgraded eat-in spacious galley-style kitchen offers plenty of storage, with pull-out shelving in the cabinets, and granite countertops. The eat-in nook faces a beautiful backyard, with windows to let in plenty of natural light.    

 
I love a home with a separate laundry room, especially one with plenty of room for storage. This laundry room has a utility sink, which makes it even more versatile for projects and routine maintenance.  

The master bedroom, spacious in its own right and with a beautiful skylight to bring in plenty of Lowcountry light, also opens to a year-round porch, complete with wooded floors and walls of windows. Even on the coolest South Carolina nights or in afternoon thunderstorms, this beautiful porch makes it possible to enjoy the golf course views all year. 



A split bedroom plan, like the one this home offers, provides plenty of room for guests or family members while maintaining privacy.  These bedrooms are especially spacious, with gorgeous views of the golf course and a shared bathroom that offers a split between the toilet and shower and sink.  That thoughtful configuration makes sharing a bathroom even easier for guests and family members.




While the beauty of the home stand on its own, the stunning views from the backyard cannot be matched.  A Savannah brick patio offers an incredible view of the golf course and a wonderful, expansive entertaining space.  Grill with friends, enjoy the breezes with a great book, or watch the activity on the golf course--whatever you choose to do, this beautifully landscaped backyard area will make it even better.



Don't let this stunning Rose Hill home pass you by! You can give Kristy a call at (843) 298-3808 or email her at kristy.gonzalez@era.com for more information or to set up a showing.
