Today is Wednesday March 4th, 2020 and we have the North Tour for Hilton Head homes that are new on the market and for sale. It’s a very rainy day, which means we can see where the puddles and water flow is designed on these homes, something you cannot see on a sunny day.
Hilton Head Plantation
14 Wild Laurel Lane is a four-bedroom three and a half bath listed at $689,000. It is a beautiful home. I love this cozy and updated home. Has a new roof and water heaters with three heat pumps, a lovely master bedroom and lots of birds in the backyard. You can actually see from the master bed the tee on the golf course. It’s lovely and has a beautiful kitchen. I enjoyed this house very, very much.
51 Rookery Way is a three-bedroom two and a half bath priced at $545,000. This one is in the Rookery neighborhood. Mexican tile all in the front and hallway, but it has old-school curb appeal. It’s clean as a whistle. It has a pool and is elevated plus a two-car garage. It just maybe needs a little updating but it’s nice and clean and priced okay.
1 Bridle Court is a three-bedroom two bath home listed at $450,900 in the Big Woods neighborhood. I’m not a fan of those half moon glass windows , though. It’s light and bright. They used the third bedroom as an office and then they also had a sun porch. So, it’s small but cute and priced well.
11 Clearwater Lane is a four-bedroom four and a half bath for $619,000. I found this house to be a little choppy. I do like that it has as mother in law suite which is something unique for certain buyers. It has a lot of moldings and ornateness. It feels tight in there and doesn’t really have a good flow but it’s nice to have a mother in law suite. So, again, for a specific buyer, this one would be okay. The house didn’t wow me, personally, at all.
In Ribaut Island we have 26 Ribaut Drive, a four-bedroom five bath listed at $1,100,000. Ribaut is a very majestic neighborhood with its own electronic gate within HHP and surrounded by water and marsh. So, even though you have a three-car garage and the features are pretty good, there is no cover there. I love the pretty flowers as you drive up to it. They have beautiful Spring flowers. You do have a marsh view and features that you would expect but again, I really didn’t like that there isn’t much coverage over the front door and I was getting wet as I was trying to open up the lock box key. So, it’s not my favorite on Ribaut Island.
In Elliot Point we have 34 Bayley Point Lane, a three-bedroom three bath home listed at $785,000. I thought this price was high until I drove up to it. It looks like it’s only a one-car garage and it has steps going up but you’re at the end of the cul-de-sac and you have this tidal creek on your backyard and nice outdoor spaces. The house is contemporary but dated. I think the potential in the house is phenomenal. So, again, I don’t know if it’s going to sit for a while but even downstairs in the garage, you could easily make it into a two-car garage without any problem. It is such a cool area. That’s what the low country was all about and in the living room you had glass everywhere. It’s fabulous. I see the potential in this house, but it does need some updating but it has the features that you need. I think the kitchen is in decent shape. It’s in decent condition. Again, flooring would be the big start to changing things out.
In the same neighborhood we have 17 Bayley Point Lane, a four-bedroom three and a half bath for $865,000. This one doesn’t have as amazing of a view. I also don’t like that you get that hollow feel when you walk in houses that are elevated. This one was contemporary like the last one but it’s for a lot more money with less view. I don’t care for the curb appeal of this home as much. So, why spend $80,000 more? I would go for 34 Bayley Point. Again, I always tell folks, “You can change anything inside. What you can’t change is the location and the view,” and that 34 Bayley Point was about as fabulous of a location as you can get if you like low country views and locations.
In Dolphin Head we had a few. 11 Sparrow Hawk Court is a three-bedroom three and a half bath home listed at $499,000. I also saw a lot of potential in this one. It’s kind of a chopped-up house. It would be really hard for people to like it. It has a garage, but it looks like they made a workout room out of it and they had all kinds of different flooring and the bedrooms actually have tile. So, I don’t know if the people have allergies or what, but you have wood in the living areas and then tile, which is so cold. I really don’t care for that. So, the flooring needs to go but again, it has a beautiful view. It would probably be easy to convert the one-car garage back. It sits on a patio lot and is a nice price.
35 Field Sparrow Road is a three-bedroom two bath for $435,000. It’s in good condition and is a good price. You really don’t have a view and you have kind of a small backyard but it’s clean and a decent house at a decent price.
23 Sugar Pine Lane is a three-bedroom two bath priced at $449,000. This is even a better price. I love that name Sugar Pine Lane, don’t you? It’s turnkey and has nice curb appeal. You have the two-car garage. It does face the main road but it’s neat as a pin and priced well. So, for somebody who cares more about the inside of a house, this one is probably ready to go.
6 Elmwood Court is a three-bedroom two bath for $519,000. This has a nice golf view. I like the pretty floors. It’s on the cul-de-sac. It has popcorn ceilings. It was just eh. I’m kind of neutral on this house.
27 Honey Locust Circle is a three-bedroom two and a half bath listed at $449,000. I’d give this one a B plus. The curb appeal is neat. I like the open living space. What I didn’t like is that you have to go down this long crunched up hallway to get to the master and I found the master area to be very small. So, just keep that in mind but it has nice living spaces.
17 Palm View Drive is a four-bedroom four and a half bath for $695,000. This is a very light and bright street. There are almost no trees on it, which in the Summer can probably be very harrowing, but some people seem to like it. This is a nice, clean single level home. Everything looks freshly painted. The carpet looks very new. So, this one is turnkey. It’s stucco and it’s a nice home.
30 Glenmore Place is a three-bedroom four bath home listed at $725,000. This one I didn’t really care for. It has a two-car garage. The stairs were just eh. I’m not a fan of rounded windows. So, maybe that’s what it is. You’ve got a rectangular garage and I find the price to be kind of on the high side but, you know, you are near the country club and you do have a pool. It’s a great location. You’re on the first fairway of the country club and you’ve got a lot of square footage and a lot of built-ins too. So, it’s a newer house but already it’s up at $725,000 which seems a little on the high side for a three-bedroom.
37 Santa Maria Drive is a three-bedroom two and a half bath house listed at $568,750. This one has lots of different flooring and a lot of black surfaces. It has really good architecture and a nice view. It’s at a decent price in a great neighborhood.
8 Old Fort Lane is a three-bedroom two and a half bath listed for $545,000. I sold 10 Old Fort Lane and that one had been completely done. This one, the view isn’t as pretty but it’s a great family home. You’ve got two bedrooms upstairs. The master is on the first floor, but it needs to be completely updated. So, it’s a decent house.
2 Tall Pines Road is a three-bedroom three and a half bath listed for $529,900. It’s an elevated house with stucco. It has a basic floorplan. It’s well-priced and ready to go. It’s a good house is a great area.
Again, the ones that stay in my mind – because I go into so many houses – for Hilton Head Plantation are 34 Bayley Point Lane. That corner lot is just fabulous and then 11 Sparrow Hawk. So, those would be the two with great potential and views if somebody wants to make upgrades. If you want turnkey, 14 Wild Laurel Lane was gorgeous. I’d say it would be my next favorite.
We did have one condo, and I actually know this one in Hilton Head Plantation. It’s 301A Indian Springs Villa, a three-bedroom two bath for $639,000. You’re on the water. You have the elevator. Everything has been done in these condos – the siding, the roof, the elevator has been refurbished. So, it’s ready to go.
Off Plantation
I went and looked at two houses in the Old House Creek neighborhood.
29 Old House Creek Drive is a four-bedroom three bath listed for $479,000. This one has a peekaboo sound view. It is dated but it’s in great condition. I like this house.
14 Old House Creek Drive is a four-bedroom three and a half bath for $439,900. What I didn’t care for about this one is that as you drive up to the house, you actually have track homes over the fence because you are right on the fence and you see all these homes from your front yard. So, I didn’t care for that at all and I know that will be tough but, you know, it’s also $40,000 less. So, if you want to be in the Spanish Wells area, that might be something to consider.
In Jonesville we have 212 Jonesville Road, a six-bedroom five and a half bath for $899,999. So, let’s just say $900,000. Again, it’s a big house with lots of room for a big family.
In Carolina Isles we have 27 Sullivan’s Lane, a three-bedroom two and a half bath for $425,000. It’s an okay home.
Let’s run through the villas that are Off Plantation
Off Plantation Villas
In Broad Creek we have The Residences at Edgewater #2301. It’s a four-bedroom three bath for $375,000.
3F Summerfield Villas is a three-bedroom three bath for $269,000.
1D Summerfield Villas is a two-bedroom two bath priced at $194,900.
505 Mariners Cove Villas is a three-bedroom two and a half bath for $269,000. These are right when you come on the island.
The Preserve at Indigo Run #2321 is a two-bedroom two bath for $306,000. A lot of professionals live in the Preserve and I know at one point we had 20 last year but there are not many on the market. So, this one will probably go soon also.
Indigo Run
In Indigo Run we have 16 Branford Lane, a four-bedroom three and a half bath for $599,000. It’s an okay house.
5 Balmoral Place is a four-bedroom five and a half bath priced at $849,000. It seems a little high.
51 Cotesworth Place is a four-bedroom four and a half bath for $819,000. I like this house. Again, it’s $30,000 less but I like it much better.
Palmetto Hall
314 Fort Howell Drive is a four-bedroom three and a half bath for $529,900. It’s a nice home.
26 Wild Bird Lane is a four-bedroom four bath home priced at $499,000.
1 Sabal Court is a three-bedroom three and a half bath home for $499,900. They are all okay.
Spanish Wells
In Spanish Wells we had a home which is 62 Widewater Road. It’s a four-bedroom four bath priced at $1,550,000. This guy just bought this house less than a year ago. So, I don’t know what’s going on. So, that might be something to consider for someone that wants to be in the Spanish Wells area. These guys bought it a year ago for $1.3 million and it was listed for $1,450,000. You are waterfront. It looks like they redid the hardwood floors. It’s a cool home. It’s very southern. You feel like you’re really in the low country with a house like this and there is nothing like being on the water.
Windmill Harbour
We only have one in Windmill Harbour which is 107 Harbour Passage. It’s a four-bedroom three and a half bath listed at $1,395,000. Wow, I love this townhouse! It has solid wooden doors and high ceilings. The only reason they are selling this is because they are hardly ever using it. These are Swiss folks - I happen to know that. It has a spectacular view. I’m telling you; I have a lot for sale, but this house is magnificent. It has an elevator with four stops. It has a spacious garage downstairs. The kitchen is modern, but it has clean lines. I love all the spaces in this house. It’s absolutely lovely. So, this one makes my short list also. I don’t usually get excited about homes in Windmill Harbour but this one is a definite beauty.
So, that covers it for the North Tour on this very rainy day. I saw some great potential homes that need updating and for turnkey, 107 Harbour Passage and 14 Wild Laurel would be my go-to homes. They are at different price points, but they are different products. It was a great tour today.
