    What's special

    Immaculately maintained and updatedOne level homeStainless steel appliancesQuartzite countertops
    Here in the northern portion of Beaufort County, we hold up Dataw Island as the standard of excellence we believe meets or exceeds anything you will find in any other South Carolina community. Steeped in history, the former Datha Island dates back thousands of years and was once home to 18th century indigo and cotton antebellum plantations, where tabby ruins still stand. Today, it is the epitome of what a true community should be. Picture having cocktails with your neighbors in an old school club house while watching a croquet match on the green and you will get a feel for the vibe here. Situated halfway between Historic Downtown Beaufort and the Jurassic Park-like beaches at Hunting Island, Dataw boasts World Class Golf and high-end amenities including a deepwater marina, pickle ball and tennis courts, swimming pool and much more. And much less. Much Less traffic, much less congestion, much less noise, all of which makes this somewhat hidden island gem that much more desirable for sports men and women, retirees, really anyone who enjoys the outdoors and some peace and quiet. Why all of that in an MLS listing? Because "all of that" will give you a sense of just what a value this home is on this idyllic island retreat. Immaculately maintained and updated, offering spectacular golf and water views, this property provides you with the opportunity to step right into a turnkey home and begin the next chapter right now. This one level home has new, highest quality LVP flooring, Quartzite countertops, stainless steel appliances, 2 car garage with additional golf cart garage, not 2, but 3 full baths, a screened-in back porch and patio, and a wide open, unobstructed view for life! There is no requirement for flood insurance, the living space is open and bright, the landscaping is exquisite and the price is right. Check out the pictures and then come see for yourself that it is every bit as nice as we have described it herein.
