So today we had quite a few homes to see in south beach area. Two South Beach Club Villas - a 3bedroom with wide open views for $1,175,000 and a four bedroom elegant one for $1,899,000. 1598 Port Villa had a great dock and water view at $689,000 but needed work and paint was coming off ceiling. I don't usually look at villas but these 3 were curiosity for me. So we had two homes on Brown Pelican. Number 1 is a 4/3.5 at $1,740,000 and 8 Brown Pelican is a 4/4.5 at $4,299,000 - Oceanfront and gorgeous! This one might be my favorite one but lets keep looking. Then there was 20 Black Skimmer and 9 Black Skimmer both 4/4.5 homes but one was $1,200,000 (waay too much I think) and one was $2,950,000 but new construction and closer to the beach. #9 would be a project and at least all on one level which some buyers do want. 7 South Beach Lane is a 5/5.5 home at $1,595,000 - priced ok but did nothing for me. I learned how to ride my bike on that street so I have a love for it. 6 Belted Kingfisher was also newer at $2,550,000 but just a big home. No coziness. 34 Baynard Cove Road was a well built home but no view and at 6 bedrooms and 8 baths at $1,959,000 it was lovely but did not stand out for me. Then we went Sea Pines Central. 259 Greenwood Drive was a 3/2 at $599,000 - hard to renovate, I think a tear down. 337 Greenwood Drive was intriguing at 3/2.5 for $639,999 and a better location. Lets hold that one as a favorite possibility for now. 28 Willow Oak West was at $589,000 very very interesting price. Private location, right between harbour Town and Beach Club but it only had 2 bedrooms. Bring a visionary builder and THIS one has potential. Hmmmmm, make garage a room and expand to front......yes - this one is also on the radar. Then 11 Ridgewood Lane - great address nice gold view and pool and updated home ready to move but the price: $887,500 AND across the street a house burned down and building next door. Bad timing on that one. 50 N. Calibogue Cay is a dramatic home that has been raised about 8 feet from the ground. Was fun to watch and has indoor pool that greets you when you come in. Large spacious kitchen and open feel to the left. Nicely redone but floorpan a bit funky for a mere $2,600,000 BUT you get one of the prettiest views the Lowcountry has to offer. 23 Stoney Creek also had a pretty view and was 'cozy' meaning a bit small. I could only live there alone. 3/3 $579,000 and small redone kitchen was well priced. No garage, tight lot and going to build to the left of it... again timing. Hmmmmm9 Willow Oak Road was cute and lovely and totally redone and move in ready but at $1,150,000 its a bit much for a 3/3 BUT its all done and ready and CUTE CUTE CUTE! Maybe taht one is also on the final list. OK so lastly we went to Club Course. 2 Possum Lane $449,000 and well priced with garage and cute deck. A bit dark but paint can fix. 47 Oak Court as newer but tight also and a bit high at $779,000 for area. These paid in the 500s for same house a few years back. Anyways, then 42 Sandfiddler Road at 4/4 for $795,000 was interesting. Dramatic entry, nice marsh view, HUGE back yard and great family home. But dated. Asphalt driveway with tree in middle - a pine tree. Intriguing and might make it because of view and back yard but needs work and high end of that area on price before redo. Hmmmm. And lastly I went to 38 Pine Island Road. A redo by a friend - great family home 5 bedrooms and 4/5 baths at $1,395,000 with hot tub, golf view, marsh view, lots of space. The ONLY drawback to this one is the sunken living room with side area. Great home.
So now I have to pick my favorite. Oh wait, also went and saw well priced cute 6 Sailmaster in Shipyard. But not going to make the cut as its a villa So for me, I liked 38 Pine Island. Had lots of great views, redone and lots of space. Tough one thsi time as I liked a few.
