Today is Wednesday July 15th, 2020 and we have a very small North Tour of homes for sale on Hilton Head. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, a lot of the homes aren’t even making the tour but I think now in July things have slowed down a little bit although we still have a few things going under contract in two to three days.
Windmill Harbour
There is a villa in Windmill Harbour which is 13 Spindle Lane, a two-bedroom two and a half bath for $399,000. It’s a beautifully updated villa. I just don’t know whether or not you’ll be able to get the appraisal for it. The last three that have sold in here have all been under $300,000 and this one is $100,000 more. That’s my only concern but it is beautiful.
Indigo Run
In Indigo Run we have 5 Cotesworth Place. It’s a five-bedroom four and a half bath for $799,000. They bought it at the height of the market in 2004. It’s a lovely home. I love the little garden when you come up; it’s very welcoming and it has a fenced in front gate and yard with sort of circular steps that are very pretty. It’s a nice newer home.
245 Berwick Drive is a four-bedroom four and a half bath for $725,000. This one is a little less. The kitchen isn’t as nice, but I do love the view. The other one had sort of a wooded view and the house was better quality but, to me, it’s all about the view because you can change everything else and you can change the inside to what you want. The other one was just so big with five bedrooms, but they are both good homes in Indigo run.
Palmetto Hall
228 Fort Howell Drive, a five-bedroom five and a half bath for $749,000. The only thing that bothers me about this house is that from the kitchen you go into the master bedroom and the bedroom is just right next to the kitchen but I guess it wasn’t seen as a family home per se. So, the layout kind of bothers me a little bit.
243 Fort Howell Drive is a six-bedroom seven bath home priced at $1,199,000. This one was purchased as a foreclosure. I remember this house. The railings were memorable, but they bought it in 2017 for $837,500 and I can’t tell where they put money. There was some damage due to a tree and they fixed that, but I really don’t see any updates. So, I really don’t see how they came with this price at all to be quite honest, but it is a spacious, big house.
There was one more house in Palmetto Hall that, for whatever reason, I missed but I do want to talk about it because it’s a great listing. 2 Stevens Court is a five-bedroom five bath home listed at $649,000. It’s a really great price. I like the curb appeal. It is not a full stucco house. There is a nice view from the upstairs. It’s very welcoming and priced well. I think the carpeting probably needs to be changed and they didn’t really do anything ot the house but again, for 4,000 square feet it is priced accordingly.
Spanish Wells
Spanish Wells is a peninsula area that has a gate, but it doesn’t have 24-security guard, just cameras. 53 Brams Point Road is a five-bedroom four and a half bath for $2,650,000. It has a boat lift. It is on the water right there on the marsh. It is a beautiful home, and this is the third broker and I’m a little surprised because I know they tried to sell in 2018 and 2019 and now they brought it down $100,000 with a new broker. I’m surprised that it never sold. It’s a beautiful home. Spanish Wells is known for its spacious lots and a lot of families live in there. It’s off the beaten path and a lot of people don’t know about it and it has a lot of high-end homes. I know there was one on the deep-water side that just went under contract. So, if you need that information, I can give it to you.
We did go to two that were not in a gated community.
2 Circlewood Drive in Beach City Place is the Edisto model for the developer, Village Park Homes. It’s a four-bedroom two and a half bath for $489,500. This is the last large tract of land for that whole area in Beach City and Mitchellville. It’s where we used to have the baseball field and do Gator football and now you are starting to see small developments in there. This home was built in 2017. Right when you come into the gate it is on the righthand side. It is cute and the garage has air conditioning in it. It’s hard to believe that these tract homes are now also three years old commanding that kind of price. It was clean and turnkey and ready to go.
In Bermuda Point, another popular family-oriented area with a small community of tract homes, we have 91 Bermuda Point Circle. It’s a three-bedroom three bath for $449,900. I know at some point someone is going to build to the left of this unit but on the right, it does have a magnificent tree. Just the way that it was built, it doesn’t really take advantage of that which is unfortunate. When you come in you’ve got to go up a lot of steep steps. So, it’s not for someone old and tired like me but it’s nicely done inside and again, it is in a good neighborhood.
Hilton Head Plantation
19 Flying King Court is a three-bedroom two bath for $449,000. This is right there on the end of Flying King that is sort of a U-shaped street in the Skull Creek area. So, you’re close to the back gate. This house is adorable. Granted it is on the main road but the bushes and stuff, that didn’t really bother me and you’re right across from the gardens where you can plant vegetables and flowers and you’re conveniently located. It’s turnkey, cute as a button, and I love the price.
1 Golden Hind Drive is a three-bedroom two and a half bath for $369,000. This one is almost $80,000 but it too was on the main drive and it needs a lot of work. Granted $80,000 might do it but the kitchen wasn’t as nice, and I just saw that the house has been poorly maintained and that always concerns me because then you’re not maybe dealing with cosmetics. You might be dealing with other issues, but it is a very aggressive price. So, again, it really depends on what one is looking for. It is in a great location in the Skull Creek area near the back gate.
9 Windflower Court is a three-bedroom two and a half bath for $310,000. You will see from the pictures that it’s really cute inside. The problem is waling up to it adn seeing that gray one to the left that is falling apart and not maintained at all, very run down. It is nice inside and it’s centrally located in Hilton Head Plantation and a decent price.
In Oyster Reef of Hilton Head Plantation, we have 2 Wild Holly Court. It’s a four-bedroom three and a half bath for $620,000. The pool is the best feature of the home. Granted the Headlands is a nice neighborhood and the house is in okay condition. They look like they worked on the gardening and I’m not a fan of the asphalt driveway. Inside they really didn’t do that much to it. I think if you’re looking for a pool, this is a decent house but I did see some water intrusion or something toward the front of the door and it just seems like it’s a little on the high side. I was expected a bit more than I saw but if you need a pool, you want to see it.
Lastly in the Headlands neighborhood we have 25 Winding Trail Lane. It’s a three-bedroom two bath for $535,000. I’m impressed at some of these prices. They are really increasing. I don’t know it it’s people just trying, but to have a 3/2 at almost the mid fives seems somewhat pricey to me. It’s 2,000 square feet. They did redo this area a little bit. They put new landscaping in but I remember that this home was on the market a while back. It is in a good location and a home that is ready to go. It has some nice features.
All in all, there is something for everyone whether it is a handyman special or something turnkey. We did have a small North Tour this time but there are some great properties still available. If you need any assistance, we can conduct a search and save it so you only get specific things that meet your needs in your price range and in the specific neighborhoods you are looking for. We’d be happy to do that for you.
We are here to help you. We put our customers first and treat you like we would want to be treated. We often play devil’s advocate and point out things for your attention, but the main thing is that we want you to be happy with what you have narrowed down to. So, remember we are here to serve and represent you. Please feel free to reach out to us at any time. We look forward to serving you in the future. Have a great day and enjoy the rest of the Summer!
