Along the water’s edge at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in Edgewater Hills, this Lake Hartwell residence has been part of the shoreline since 2006 and remains in pristine condition. Inside, five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths are paired with a newly completed walkout lower level that opens seamlessly to the outdoors and the lake beyond. Expansive windows draw in shifting light, while warm hardwoods and wood beam ceiling accents lend a sense of quiet craftsmanship. The layout is open and gracious—easy for hosting, equally suited to privacy. Outdoors, decks and patios set the pace for morning coffee and long evenings, with a hot tub ready when cooler nights arrive. A deep-water dock anchors days on the lake, from early starts to last-light cruises, with some furnishings negotiable for an effortless arrival.

A study in contemporary design, this new construction is set within the private golf community of Berkeley Hall in Bluffton. Just over 3,400 heated square feet unfolds in a true open-concept plan, where 12-foot ceilings bring an airy sense of volume to everyday living. Double 12×10 sliding glass doors blur the line between indoors and out, drawing a large screened porch directly into the main living area and making entertaining feel effortless.

Along the water’s edge on Lake Greenwood, this residence in the prestigious Plantation community at Grand Harbor pairs assured architecture with modern updates and an easy, welcoming atmosphere.

On Bear Island within Hilton Head Plantation, this unique residence balances space and ease in a quiet, residential setting.

Inside, an eat-in kitchen sits adjacent to the family room, where a fireplace and built-in shelving create a comfortable hub for everyday routines. A generous bonus room offers flexibility for a personal gym, library, or game room, while tons of storage and a 4-car garage keep cars, boats, and bicycles neatly accounted for. Nearby, a leisure trail invites strolls to Pine Island and Dolphin Head. Significant improvements were made in 2025, setting the stage for years ahead.
