Boy today was reliving the past as I went to many homes near where I grew up when I was 10 years old and now I’m a lot older than 50. Haha
The first place that I went to was 41 Night Heron. 41 Night Heron is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath listing at $314,000. It’s a unique one because it has a fireplace, it is all the way on the end, so it’s the furthest away from the beach, however the 2 bedroom, 2 bath place has a lot of privacy, has a new roof in 2016 and because there was a fire and they elevated it to 14 feet when this one was rebuilt. So, it is, in my opinion one of the better ones there in Night Heron. And priced at $314,000, it’s a great, great way to have your foot into Sea Pines, at this day and age.
From there, I went to 1 Fawn Lane, boy that’s cuteness all around! Cute cute cute! It’s a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house listed for $439,000. The person who updated it put in a lot of curb appeal. The driveway has some nice pavers trimmed out around it. There were even lights, up-lighting from the floor as you come in the door. New flooring, just cuteness all around. Again, decent price and turnkey for the Otter Road/Club Course area.
From there I went outside of Sea Pines to 3 Phoebe Lane. 3 bedroom, 3 bath, $449,000. Also really cute, and it’s got a killer marsh view if you sit out on the deck. And you can see all the way out to the sound. So for marsh view at this price, in this condition, if you don’t have to be in the Sea Pines Resort, this is a great home to be on Hilton Head. 3 Phoebe Lane.
Then I went to 13 Jacana Street. It’s a 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bath listed at $949,900. The house smelled of cigarette smoke, very old school. Has not been kept up. What makes this one interesting is it’s sitting on 2 lots and the house is right in the middle. So, you could subdivide that. So it could be interesting, but you better have some money to rebuild because I don’t think you can really save this house. And that’s a lot of land to be in an almost million and you still have to update it all. So could be quite costly. Don’t know if that’s the track an average consumer wants to be. But two lots, right across the street from the T street of Forest Beach. That could be a plus. Very interesting for an investor/builder type.
Then we had a lot of villas. I didn’t go into 21 Tangle Wood. $249,000. I didn’t go into 67 Surf Court. $279,500. And 7017 Treetop Villas. $275,000. Those were all in the Forest Beach area and again, make very good rental condos.
So, back to Sea Pines I went. And I think after that one I wound up going to Turtle Lane Club. Number 37 Turtle Lane Club is a 4 bedroom, 3 ½ bath, listed at $1,249,000. This one was completely updated. Really, really nice. You’re just steps from the ocean. You have your own pool. It’s got a gate code to get in. So if someone wants turnkey to be able to just stroll to the beach, have your own pool without it being a liability, please, please consider 37 Turtle Lane Club. Really like that one. That one might make my best buy this one time. We'll see. I also happen to know the owner/agent and they did a great job in renovation. Their family is growing so they want/need more space and found something else.
Then I went to Harbor Town and saw 867 Ketch Court. Cute 2 bedroom, 2 ½ bath. It is an end unit listed at $438,000. What I like about that one is it is an end unit. Kind of tight on the parking, but very cute coastal feel. Kitchen is kind of tucked away, but you’re in the heart of Harbor Town, so you can’t beat that.
Then there was 2237 Heritage Villas. 3 bedroom, 3 bath at $449,000. Needs updating, and it’s really kind of facing the parking lot, even though from the living space you have a nice little fountain lagoon view. It’s okay. I think it needs updating. It still has the metal louver doors, which I do not care for those at all. So you do have to put some money in it. But it’s light and bright with high cathedral ceilings in living space and again, entry-wise could be okay. I’d like to see a 3 in front of that number though, cause it does need updating.
Harbor South there were two units there, 1102 and 1105. One was $595,000, the other one was $743,000. That one was, the higher one was on the top floor. There is an elevator. And it did have a water view. But again, those just don’t thrill me, because you have a carport, but if it rains you have to go through it. They just don’t do it for me. I will show to you in case it does do something for you. :-)
From there I almost forgot, I went to 11 South Beach Lagoon Drive. Old school house, oceanfront. 5 bedrooms, 6 ½ baths, $5.95 million. Really cool, I mean you feel like you are in the ocean, so you don’t really have much privacy there and people come gawking. I don’t know if I had that kind of money if I would want to be that close to the beach club. But it is a cool house. But it does need updating, etc. Again, having 26 Sand Hill Crane listed, which is down closer to the ocean gate. Please consider 26 Sand Hill Crane if you are an ocean front buyer.
I then went to South Beach and that’s where, oh boy, that’s my old neck of the woods when I was 9-10 years old, that’s where we used to ride our bikes when I was a kid. 50 Marsh Island is on the market. That is a very unique property. You have a 6 bedroom house, you’ve got 9 acres, it’s an island called Gull Island. You have a guesthouse with 2 bedrooms in it. You have a 3 car garage. And for $8.45 million you’re getting something that is extremely unique. I mentioned 50 Gull Point on a prior tour many years ago, this is kind of similar to that but more updated and move in ready. It really is a one of kind property and if you want privacy and want to be on Hilton Head and be left alone, but still have something very cool, please, please this would be the one to consider. Be sure to call me, though. :-)
I actually grew up just to the left as you drive to this property when it was just vacant land. It was just dead land before these folks built on it and they really thought of everything and quite thought through with everything including tree fort. Great, great home.
89 Baynard Cove. That’s kind of a tear down. It needs a lot of work, but if you like classic Sea Pines, 3 bedroom, 3 bath, great location near Harbor Town Golf Links. The back looks into the cul-de-sac of Turnberry and may have room for a pool. Anyway, you back up into a cul-de-sac. It’s listed at $639,990. You better have some vision and some pockets for that one.
Then 2 Gull Point. Another blast from the past for me. Ms. Betty used to live on that one. It’s right on the corner. It’s a big lot. 3 bedroom, 3 ½ bath. Listed at $924,900. Same thing. You are closer to the beach with this traditional Sea Pines home but also $300,000 more than Baynard. I don’t know if the house is in better shape than Baynard Cove because my lockbox access key did not work here, so again, a little optimistic, but there’s not much for sale in the South Beach area right now. So I guess that one is okay.
So, that’s about it. And you know, just because it’s so unique, I think I will have to say that Gull Island is my favorite for this tour. It’s a small tour with just 21 properties, of which 7 were homes and one townhome. So for the big pocketbooks, 50 Marsh Island Road for $8.45 mil is my favorite. That’s my call.
Thank you so much, it was visiting a blast from the past and I look forward to seeing you next week!
Thanks so much.
