Consider this absolutely charming, renovated and expanded (2004) Lowcountry home situated on one of the nicest, most-private residential streets in the Club Course neighborhood of popular Sea Pines Plantation! Framed by magnificent 150+ year old Oak trees, this two-story residence is situated on a full-size homesite backing to a tidal creek with access to the Calibogue Sound and Intracoastal Waterway. From its full-width covered front porch to its alluring floor-to-ceiling windows to its abundance of modern finishes, 10 Bateau Road exudes charm and quality throughout, offering something for everyone while presenting a truly exceptional offering in today’s market…
A semi-circular driveway surrounds a manicured landscape island boasting Magnolia and Oak trees that offer outstanding shade as well as quintessential “island” street appeal. An extension of the drive leads to the front-loading two-car garage, while ample guest parking runs adjacent to an old Savannah brick front walkway that leads to the elevated covered front entry of the home.
Hearty architectural railings are paired with a wood-paneled ceiling and recessed lighting where the spacious front porch spans the full width of the main house. An antique pine solid-wood door joins a matching screen door and twin sidelights as they welcome you into the natural-light-filled foyer of the home.
The center-hallway floor plan greets you with a dedicated foyer area, complete with heartpine flooring, smooth-finish ceiling with recessed lighting, and a generous coat closet. The wide hallway provides access to the formal dining room, master bedroom, and two large storage closets as it ultimately leads to a light and bright formal living room, complete with Berber-style carpeting, vaulted ceiling with overhead fan and twin skylights, raised hearth Savannah-brick gas fireplace, and three double-hung windows overlooking the screen porch and tidal creek beyond.
