Hi and happy Wednesday to you. Today is Wednesday, August 15, 2018. And the realtor tour is focused on the south end today.

 

As you can expect for summer in August, there were only 7 homes in Sea Pines, one Off-Planation and the rest were villas for a total of 19 plus one piece of land off 25 Sand Fiddler Road for $241,500. 

 

I actually did not follow my rule and I did go into villas, so I will focus on those later. First let’s start with the 7 homes in Sea Pines. 

 

Greenwood Forest had two listings. 12 Columbine Lane is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, $519,000. It had a garage, some bedroom separation. You could see the house next door. It was empty and somewhat lackluster. 

 

The next one is a listing of mine, 43 Forest Drive, 5 bedrooms, 3 ½ bath, with a loft. Right across the street from the amenities of Greenwood Forest. Also, you can walk to Truffles and the Sea Pines Center. It’s got a loft area where the 5thbedroom is, you can do one of the bedrooms as an office downstairs. Great bedroom separation, it’s like a C, it has green on three sides. It’s really a unique property. It’s listed at $585,000.

 

From there I went to 11 Red Oak. 3 bedrooms, 2 ½ bath, beautiful home. Has a pool. 1 bedroom, the master was downstairs, and then upstairs you had Jack and Jill and two equal bedrooms. Lots of natural light upstairs, so you typically wouldn’t even have to go upstairs. Listed at $849,900, I actually liked that one. 

 

I forgot, before that I went to see 19 Gunnery Lane in Heritage Woods. 4 bedrooms, 3 bath, for $839,000. That one, it had a 2-car garage instead of a 1, but the condition was, I mean, it’s a beat up house. It had been in the rental market, you can tell, so right there and then, I would say for Greenwood Forest, 43 Forest Drive stays as a favorite and of the two I mentioned above, 11 Red Oak Road would make a lovely home.

 

Next was 8 Twin Pines Road. Brand new construction, 5 bedrooms, 5 ½ bath for $1,920,000. The pool was a little small and disappointing, but the house was fabulous. It really was spaced out well. Beautiful, beautiful light fixtures. It’s being sold unfurnished, but loved the staging furniture. Lots of space, and again, brand new.

 

15 Willow Oak Road West, 4 bedrooms, 4 bath, $889,000. Very spacious lot, centrally located. Has a pool with a cover. Very cozy and priced well for what you are getting.

 

Lastly with homes was 25 Pine Island Court, the only club course home. It’s a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, $639,000. But it has a killer marsh view. Totally updated with a lot of interior trim. Has room for 3 cars down below, lots of storage. And even has an air-conditioned workshop space.

 


 

Villas in Sea Pines.  

 

So today I did the villas. Let’s start with Club Course. We had a Residence Club, 2859 Residence Club, 2 bedrooms, 2 bath, really cute. $389,900. Overlooks the pool, but it’s right there off Governor’s. Cute and sweet and great for someone that really wants to downsize.

 

South Beach. 3 Villas at South Beach. We had 1620 Port Villas. 4 bedrooms, 3 ½ bath. $695,000. Killer view, beautifully updated. Kind of small living space, but the idea is that everyone is outside. Priced well.

 

And then 1601 Port Villas, that was a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, also been redone. But not as cozy and nice. $545,000.

 

1620 is a favorite to that one. 

 

And lastly, South Beach Villa number 1418. 4 bedrooms, 4 bath, $1,379,000. This one has a view of the Sound. Those had fire and so this one has been completely redone from the cement floor up. Tastefully and beautifully done.

 

Next was a 2530 Fairway Oaks Villas. 2 bedrooms, 2 bath, $399,000. At first it looked really well priced and it is, but it doesn’t have a garage like the others do. No short -erm rentals allowed in these, but again, the kitchen has been redone, the rest is pretty much original. Great location, people like that they don’t have short term rentals in there.

 

Lastly, 202 Twin Oak Villas. 3 bedrooms, 3 bath, $599,900. Priced well. This one overlooks the driving range, so really doesn’t have the view but people love the location of Twin Oaks. It’s tastefully updated. 

 

Off-Plantation, we had one listing in Yacht Cove, 38 Bellhaven Way. 3 bedrooms, 2 bath for $335,000. Nice starter home and a great community. Cute, cute, cute and corner home. 

 

Forest Beach

 

Four villas, or condos on the market. All are 2 bedrooms, 2 baths. 

 

The first one is 114 Forest Beach Villas, $359,500. Then the second floor, 205 Forest Beach Villas, $375,000. 412 A Shorewood Villa, that’s $435,000. Those are ocean front and lastly 3302 The Sea Crest Villas, again, 2 bedrooms, 2 bath, $899,000.

 

Conclusion

 

Even though I do have two listings in today’s very small realtor tour south, I have 43 Forest Drive, and 25 Pine Island Court, when I look at everything available, I still would have to say 43 Forest Drive, 5 bedrooms, 3 ½ bath for $585,000. It has privacy. It is quiet. It’s got great bedroom separation. It’s not on the beach, but close to the beach. You’re quick at Harbor Town. It has so many different layers, you could rent it out and then redo it for you when you decide to move down here. It just has so much flexibility that 43 Forest Drive, and its location, I’m not a great Forest fan all the time, but because of the way this one sits that has to be my favorite.

 

I would say my second favorite would be 202 Twin Oak Villas. And my third would have to be 15 Willow Oak Road west. That one was a pool at $889,000.

 

That’s it, have a great week and thank you for reading!
