SOLD! Unbelievable Value with Upgrades: 605 College Park Circle

At $159,900, this 3 bedroom/2.5 bathroom home is an unbelievable value, perfect for a first-time buyer, someone downsizing, or an investor looking for a fantastic rental opportunity.  Located a very quick drive to the Bluffton campus of USCB and TCL as well as shopping, restaurants, and entertainment, this home offers the perfect opportunity to buy in a growing area.


With lagoon views, this University Park home features a welcoming front porch, easy-to-maintain landscaping, and a neighborhood that includes a playground and zero-entry community pool. 


Inside, you'll find a large living room, open to the patio and spacious backyard, adjacent to the stairs. Down a short hall, you'll find a powder room and coat closet on your way to the kitchen and dining area.  


The dining room, with its low maintenance tile floors and plenty of natural lighting, sits just off of the kitchen, creating both an open flow and defined entertaining zones downstairs. 


With plenty of space, the kitchen and dining area feels open and spacious and, with the laundry area conveniently located inbetween, you can likely picture this becoming the heart of your happy home. 





Upstairs, you'll find the three bedrooms, keeping the entertaining areas separate from the private areas.  The master bedroom features a large walk-in closet and an attached bath, while the other two bedrooms share a hall bathroom. 









Four legged or two legged friends will love the wide open space of the backyard, where there's plenty of room to run and play and entertain.  Swing sets, dog runs, gardens, or gazebos would all fit nicely here! 
This home has been updated--a new HVAC unit, a new water heater, and a new kitchen range ensure that this home is move-in ready.  You won't find this kind of square footage for this price--it's truly an incredible value!

Charming Charleston Style in A Close Knit Community UNDER $300K!: 2 Barrington Avenue

A few Bluffton neighborhoods are just special. I hate to play favorites, because one of the things I love about our community is that anyone can find a place where they feel at home, but Westbury Park is the epitome of Lowcountry style.  Full of beautiful, mature trees and Charleston-style homes with front porches built for rocking chairs and long chats with neighbors, Westbury Park is a village in the midst of a booming town.

So when a home like this comes on the market, with one of the largest floor plans in the community, on a corner lot with both lake and park views, it's a showstopper.  And for a price like $286,000? That's truly special. This home is unique, spacious, beautiful, and thoughtfully updated to embrace its Southern charm, surrounded by a neighborhood that is truly extraordinary.


A rocking chair porch is special. A double rocking chair porch is  truly incredible.  2 Barrington Avenue has charm in spades, with plenty of room to enjoy the stunning mature landscaping that has been lovingly tended by someone with a true green thumb.  Flowering bushes offer privacy, while the porch views let you enjoy the best that Westbury Park offers--lakes, parks, and sidewalks that bring neighbors together and create a true sense of community.



This 3 bedroom/2.5 bathroom home has a flexible floor plan, with plenty of unique spaces to create what you need where you need it.  One of the truly unique features of this property is the double fireplace divider, which separates the main living area. Create a formal dining room on one side and a living room on the other or use the space as you see fit--as an office, a playroom, a hobby room--because the fireplace creates division without stopping the flow or the bright natural light.  



An incredible, bright kitchen sits just off the living area, with plenty of cabinet space and an island sink. The kitchen is not only bathed in natural light from the French doors, but also features efficient pot lights and under cabinet task lighting.



A flexible space next to the kitchen can be used in a variety of ways: a casual dining area, a light-filled office, a playroom or a family room.  


Upstairs, spacious bedrooms provide incredible retreats. The master bedroom, with cove ceilings and plantation shutters, embodies coastal chic and, with French doors that open onto the second floor balcony, is truly a place to get away from it all.


With a spa-like master bathroom, with double vanities and a garden tub with a view, the retreat is complete. 



The other spacious bedrooms have been thoughtfully upgraded, with smooth ceilings and plantation shutters, and sit on the top floor to provide plenty of room for entertaining downstairs while maintaining the privacy of the sleeping areas.  The laundry area is also located upstairs as well, for maximum convenience.


A back deck overlooks a fenced yard and an area perfect for a gardening lover, with a plant stand and garage hobby space ready for your own projects. The garage cabinets and counters could easily be transformed into a workshop or storage area as well. 




With views like this, this Westbury Park home won't last long.  Westbury Park sits in the heart of Bluffton, close to 278 and a short drive to Beaufort or Hilton Head.  The gated community features a playground, park, two pools, and pavilion with kitchen facilities.  Close to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment, this community is one of Bluffton's most beloved.

Because not everyone loves an entirely open floor plan, this home creates an open feel while maintaining some separation of space.  A dedicated dining area is open to the living area, with views to the beautiful lagoon in the back, and the kitchen looks out to the front yard.  Both the dining and the living areas are spacious, and offer flexiblity.  A laundry area is conveniently located just off of the garage entrance, along with a powder room for guests.  



 

The kitchen offers plenty of cabinet space, a sleek finish with matching countertops and appliances, and a sink that overlooks the living area. Sophisitcated pendant lighting, as well as efficient pot lights, provide plenty of light and smart planning makes this a kitchen that offers work space while keeping it the heart of the home. 


The second floor is the home for all four bedrooms, a very desirable floor plan for many.  The home has been freshly painted in neutral colors.  This home is ready for you to put your stamp on it!






 One of the most amazing parts of this home is its incredible outdoor space. Overlooking a beautiful lagoon, a large deck offers plenty of space to grill and entertain, while the grassy area leaves plenty of room for two and four legged friends to play. 


Beautiful and priced even more beautifully, this home is perfect for a person looking for an incredible value. It's hard to find a four bedroom with this location and view for this price!
