Happy Wednesday and here we are again! Its hot and muggy and I am sure glad I had my sundress on today! There were 41 properties of ALL types to tour today as realtors. Thirteen were actually off-plantation ones, two of them were land at The Paddocks for $87,000 and $180,000. Land is reasonably priced but its getting the plans, builder, permits and time to have the house ready. Many great homes out there! I don't typically do the off-plantation listings because you guys can see these and besides some were villas. Just to go through them quickly: Two were in Carolina Isles. 103 Carolina Isles Drive a 3/2.5 for $350,000 and 31 Dewees Lane a 4/3.5 for $370,000. Great starter homes. 8, Kent court 3/2 at Chinaberry Ridge is for sale at $269,900. Its close to Hilton Head High and Middle and the Elementary School off Gumtree Road. :) 104 Crosswinds is a doozie. 7/7.5 in a peninsula for $1,125,000. I never suggest my buyers purchase the most expensive home in a neighborhood. This one is such. A popular Marshside Villa is on the market, J-1 for $189,000. Also close to the school and bridge. Two homes on Creekstone Drive for $312,000 and $319,990 respectively. Honestly, I have never heard of them and am not really sure where they are. I do know Marshland Road is Looooong and treacherous. 16 Hackney Poney Lane is on again for $644,000 a 4/4.5 newer home. 46 Peregrine Drive in Peregrine Pointe is a 4/4.5 for $698,000 and a good alternative for affordable single family home water view. 2402 The residences at Edgewater is for sale, 3/3 for $389,000. Frankly, never been in these either. 3317 The Spa at Port Royal Sound closes the off-plantation list for a mere $82,000 for a 2/2. These are pre-fab and on the sound, all the way down with a security gate on 239 Beach City Road. A lot of internet inquiries on these - usually people who are just browsing and curious about Hilton Head. A good foot into the island at this price! Rent and use to start the investment journey, right?
OK, so now the nitty gritty. Went straight to Hilton Head Plantation, the cousin gated community to Sea Pines, off Skull Creek and Sound. Sixteen properties there. Started at 16 Palm View Drive, 3/3.5 for $624,000. Seemed a bit high. Built in 2004 with a landscape, wooded view and 3,041 sq. ft, its a great family home. 3 Royal Fortune Court (gotta love the name!) is a 3/3 at 2,877 ft2 for $575,000 and built in 1994. Same thing. Eh. ok. 5 Prestwick Court had 3,207 few and 3/3.5 baths with pool and golf course view. At $579,000 that one became the favorite of the three so far. Patio lot thought and kinda squeezed in but nice with stucco and all. Did NOT make it to 9 Sundew Court, 3/2 in Spring Lake Village for $383,999 and my friends the Lacoe's say its been completely renovated - priced well then. A lot of those in the Village have not been cared for and this one is newer from 1997. A great price to be in HHP. 15 Stonegate Drive is a 4/3.5 of stucco and a small pool. Again, a bit tight without much privacy but nice curb appeal and priced at $597,000 still prefer other but Stonegate is a community and popular so price ok. Oh, forgot, 3 Old Fort Lane is on again with another broker. Still 4/4.5 with pool and dramatic water view for $1,255,000. It does need updating and is ok for family. Someone also listed a boat slip to preview, for $20,000 but I did not go look, hahaha. 2 Brown Thrasher was a cute home on corner but I could not get any of the two keys in the lockbox to work! So no go on that one 3/2 for $419,000. Seemed priced ok but did not get inside. 1 Country Club Court a 4/3.5 for $499,000 was priced well, but had a beat up garage door and formica countertops and such. No go for me. Built in 2000 and lots of square footage though. Oyster Reef neighborhood had 10 Wild Azalea Lane, 3/3 for $449,000, which was cleaned up and had a covered pool. Priced based on 2,278 square feet and seemed like a flip with details missing. 12 Oyster Reef Drive listed at $747,000 was a home that looked like it belonged in Indigo Run. Stucco, a cart garage, high ceilings and lovingly cared for and lots of space in 3,740 ft2 and 4/4.5 and built in 1999. 23 Virginia Rail Lane was in the end of a cup-de-sac and I always like those. No garage and southern style with dormers and porch up front in a funky color and asphalt driveway. Entire inside was redone in gray and modern and bright but it bothered me that inside and outside did not 'mesh' together. $439,000 was interesting price with what is out there but a bit high like others too. 31 Dolphin Point Lane in Dolphin Head had an amazing view. Kinda tight in the curb appeal and a one-car garage. Needed updating on every nook and cranny. The problem is expansion is limited at 1,907 square feet so seemed like a lot of money for me for small space and view. Prefer more space and go to the Boathouse or Hudsons or even Dolphin Head playground to enjoy the water view. 17 China Cockle Way had a nice curb appeal and close to sound at $574,000 and 3/3.5. What bothered me with this house is all the arches inside! Arches, arches, arches - dated, dated, dated! If you love arches, I found the house for you! :-) Priced ok. Finally I headed to The Headlands. 3 Fallen Arrow Drive is a 3/3 for $596,000 and did not like curb appeal and its proximity to main road BUT when I went inside, loved the updated kitchen, nice view, garage, etc. OK, new favorite! 127 Headlands Drive at $519,000 was no go for me. No curb appeal, asphalt driveway and needed updating as a 3/3.5. 19 Rusty Rail Lane was a 3/2.5 for $449,000 and was also a favorite for a lower price point. Turn around driveway, newer windows and nice view. Liked it.
Then off to Indigo Run. My Sea Pines Academy school mate Drew was in sales as this last large development on Hilton Head was created. Its for golfers but landlocked like Palmetto Hall, make this one not one of my favorites, unless in Broad Pointe. Anyways, Today I trudged through them. 4 Richfield Way was a redo one of Drew. A small patio lot 3/2 home at $459,000 and renovated but rails still ugly color AND no appliances. 41 Richfield Way was much larger at 3,694 square feet and high ceilings and 3/3.5 and built in 2000 for $598,888. 734 Colonial Drive I did not go but can imagine it well. 4/4.5 and 3,356 ft2 for $799,000 and in the back gated part of Indigo Run. Reminds me of Florida and many like it. 216 Berwick Drive Townhouse at 3/3.5 and no elevator for $599,900 was ok and empty with blue walls but had potential. 225 Berwick Green Villas had an elevator and entryway where you had to go upstairs and it had a nice golf view with cart path right there. $600,000 on a 4/4. 4 Chantilly Lane as also close by and 4/3.5 with a cute curb appeal. What I did not like with this one is that green was UP from backyard and a bit disconcerting for me. Prices ok at $520,000. Finally I went to the water side and saw 42 Broad Pointe $1,845,000. Dramatic and water view it had a lot of builder features and lovely kitchen view and cool granite. The master bath colors are a personal choice and I found the flooring not of my taste. Gorgeous for the right buyer at 5,477 square feet, pool, great water view and 5 bedrooms and 5 baths.
I then went into Spanish Wells, a large older non-gated community with a peninsula that became popular when the cross-island appeared. My mom had a friend that lived out there and would not visit her at night. Now many Realtor colleagues live out there since many water lots, larger lots, etc. This home at 54 Brams Point Road is a 4/4.5 list price of $4,244,999 for 6,671 square feet. Garage separate which today with the thunderstorms was an issue. A Tuscan inspired home with lots of stone features. It will be in auction without reserve with bidding opening July 27, 2018 and lasting 72 hours. Contact me if you wish to bid and good luck!
So then the skies opened HARD and I did not make it to Palmetto Hall. We had 2 Tucker Ridge Court at $439,000 for a 4/3.5bath home and 50 Sedge Fern Drive was also a 4BR/3.5BA home for $569,900. It rained SO hard that driving became a problem so I came back to the office and started writing this instead.
That completes my Realtor Tour BLOG for today. So I think 3 Fallen Arrow Drive and 19 Rusty Rail Lane were my favorites this week but lots were quite similar in price point and features.
