Location IS everything! It is across from...wait for it...the 18th hole of the Harbour Town Golf Links course in Sea Pines. The location of this home and the potential it has makes this home a real heartthrob! It is a complete hidden gem, and I really think you should jump on it.

  • old school tile floor - yes
  • great neutral colors so you can move in and decide later
  • low maintenance landscape is always a plus

Maybe 800 square feet is a little too small for you but the topic of downsizing has been floating around social media the past couple weeks. At first thought, it makes you think of getting old. However, it seems to be more of an opportunity to get rid of things that you don't want and need and to move forward with less commitment. 

The tiny house movement has taken over, and we aren't opposed. Moving into a smaller home isn't as big of a sacrifice as you might think. Sure, you're scaling back on physical square footage, but you'll be saving big in other areas. Eight hundred square feet may sound…

Thank goodness #4 doesn't apply to us here in the Lowcountry! It's one of the main reasons lots of us moved here, but nonetheless make sure you have any tools you need for the few days that you go to your car and there's a layer of frost on the windows. How many of you still have window scrapers? I confess- I just run my car on high heat for a really long time!

It’s the spring cleaning of fall, so to speak.

With THE HOLIDAYS coming at you fast and furious, you want to be sure your home is cozy, but with that fresh-as-spring feel — as opposed to that musty-damp-winter feel.
