Coastal living meets New England charm in this updated single-story home on nearly three-quarters of an acre. It sits in Port Royal Plantation, one of Hilton Head's most sought-after oceanfront communities. It's charming from the moment you arrive. The front yard is a true English garden, a gardener's dream, and it sets the tone for everything inside. The layout works beautifully. At the center is an expansive great room with vaulted ceilings, custom built-ins, and transom windows that bring in exceptional light. Two long hallways are lined on both sides with built-in bookcases that run the full length of each hall. The primary suite sits privately on one side of the home. The guest suites and den are on the other, and one guest suite has its own full ensuite bath. The New England-inspired kitchen has a wood-burning fireplace, which makes it the natural gathering spot. The den adds a Lowcountry feel with shiplap walls, a second wood-burning fireplace, a wet bar, and direct access to the Carolina room, which adds extra square footage. The owners have made thoughtful upgrades throughout. These include new engineered flooring, a primary suite makeover with a reimagined bath and an expanded walk-in closet, and a fully redesigned outdoor living area. Out back, four live oaks and mature landscaping frame a private yard that extends beyond the hedges. You'll also find a new paver patio, a wood-burning fire pit, a remote-controlled retractable awning, and a screened porch. Major systems have been updated too, with a new roof in 2023 and new HVAC in 2024. Replacement windows across the back of the home, new doors, and added transoms finish the list. Port Royal Plantation is a gated oceanfront community with no short-term rentals, which keeps the neighborhood quiet. The home is just half a mile from the beach and the community's new beach club. Club membership is optional and includes exceptional golf and racquet sports.
