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.  

SOLD! Bright Open Floor Plan in Growing Area: 6 Running Oak Drive

Situated in the growing area of New Riverside, where Bluffton is exploding and new construction is thriving, this beautiful little home offers an incredible price per square foot for a standalone home with a two car garage.  With a beautiful wooded lot and plenty of grassy areas to play or garden or entertain, 6 Running Oak Drive offers curb appeal, an open floor plan, and upgrades that makes this home something truly special. 

As one of the anchor homes of the neighborhood, this property features a much larger lot than many of the new construction options, and is a uniquely spacious one-level option. You'll notice a charming front yard, along with a side and backyard area bordered by natural woodland, that provides lovely curb appeal. 

This home makes quite a first impression, as you walk into a large open floor plan living space, with upgraded tile throughout, soaring vaulted ceilings, and a beautiful wood-burning fireplace.  The room is bordered by four windows and sliding doors, most of which capitalize on a stunning and private wooded view. 

The large kitchen opens to the living area through a breakfast bar, which offers additional casual dining options, and features tall cabinets and ample counter space. A large pantry provides plenty of additional storage. 

All three spacious bedrooms of the home are located at the front of the home, off of a central hallway. This floor plan style is somewhat unique in this neighborhood--many of the one-level homes feature a split floor plan with the living area as the hub of the house. This floor plan separates the living areas from the bedrooms, which can keep the noise and bustle of daily life away from the retreat of the bedrooms.

The large master bedroom has two large windows, along with a master bath that features tall double sinks, a garden tub and separate shower, a large linen closet, and a walk-in master closet.  The glass block window in the master bath maintains privacy while allowing plenty of natural light into the bathroom. 

With very few properties available in this price range, and definitely not with these amenities, this home will not last! Make an appointment for a private tour before it's gone!

SOLD! Great Location and Flexible Floor Plan: 697 Farm Lake

Isn't technology amazing? I love that we can create a virtual tour of a property so that potential homeowners can have a clearer sense of how the property feels in person.  (Nothing beats a good old fashioned private tour, though! Some houses just sing to their future owners in a way that pictures and videos can never convey through a screen.)

This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, located in the popular Bluffton neighborhood of The Farm, is centrally located and close to shopping, entertainment, parks, and schools.  This home sits on a large wooded lot and features a charming front porch and soaring vaulted ceilings throughout the living area and master bedroom.  When you walk into the bright living and dining area, you'll notice the beautiful high ceilings, hardwood floors, and impressive fireplace and mantle.  The kitchen, open to the living/dining area, offers plenty of room for an island and an attached laundry area for convenience.

The master bedroom is quite large, with a size made even more impressive by the vaulted ceiling.  The master bathroom offers two sinks for convenience and plenty of storage. The other two bedrooms are spacious and perfect for family or visiting guests. 

The lot offers a dream to an amateur gardener, with a shed in back to hold tools and plenty of beds that could hold native plants or seasonal beauty.  The Farm offers plenty of amenities, including a community pool and clubhouse and a playground. 

Give Kristy Gonzalez a call to set up a tour of this property. At this price point in this neighborhood, it will not be on the market long!

SOLD! Beautiful Upgrades and Incredible Charm: 20 Wentworth

The combination of beautiful upgrades, a flexible floor plan, amazing central location, and an absolutely stunning backyard makes this Bluffton home a must see.  Located in the community of Woodbridge, a quiet neighborhood off of Buckwalter Parkway, this home is close to shopping, entertainment, and a short drive to both 278 and 180, making it an easy drive to Beaufort, Savannah, or HHI.  The neighborhood offers amenities, including a community pool, clubhouse, and park, and the homes are zoned for the brand new River Ridge Academy.

You'll love the beautiful updates throughout this home, but the first floor is truly stunning. From beautiful wood floors to the comfortable open floor plan to the beautifully updated kitchen, it's hard to find a home in this price range with these kinds of upgrades.

With an open floor plan like this, living and entertaining become so much easier. Family members and friends can easily move from one area to the next, and the open flow also allows plenty of natural light throughout the space.

This comfortable flow extends both from the kitchen into the dining room, with an extra large entrance into the spacious and updated kitchen and to the stairway, but also from the dining area to the screened porch.  The spacious screened porch opens onto the stunning backyard, surrounded by a privacy fence and beautifully landscaped.  

If we had to declare a star of this lower level, it would certainly be the beautifully updated kitchen.  Finished with custom trim on the cabinets, stainless steel cabinets, lovely and warm wood floors, and granite countertops, this kitchen will certainly become the heart of this home. Ample counter space offers plenty of prep space for the cook in your life, and the counter also offers another casual dining area.  A pantry for storage and conveniently placed laundry makes the kitchen a beautiful hub for your daily life.

Another place where you will find the beautiful upgrades unusual for a home in this price range is in the master bedroom.  Beautiful views from the bright windows create a beautiful retreat, and the spa-like master bathroom solidifies that feeling. 

Beautiful granite countertops, upgraded fixtures, and plenty of storage make this both beautiful and functional for every day life, and the upgraded closet and tiled shower are hard to find in this price range. 

Upstairs, three beautifully sized bedrooms and an equally impressive upgraded bath await, along with a bonus/media room that is wired for surround sound. The split floor plan, with master on the ground floor and additional bedrooms upstairs, offers privacy for family or guests.

One of the true gems of this property is the backyard. Surrounded by a beautiful privacy fence, the space has been divided into entertaining and play areas without sacrificing beautiful landscaping.  The huge backyard has been divided into a paver patio, perfect for entertaining, a sandbox/play area that could easily be converted back to lawn or could remain a great area for two or four legged friends, a wide expanse of lawn area, and expansive beds around the perimeter of the fence that would be great for someone with a green thumb but are low maintenance as is.  The wooded view behind makes a lovely backdrop for this fantastic entertaining, living, and playing area. 

This home will not last! Contact Kristy Gonzalez to set up an appointment or join us for a realtor tour on Thursday, February 4th!
