About This Home
As of August 2020Enjoy a sensational panoramic view cross Canvasback Pond and the 2nd hole of the Osprey Point golf course. This home offers a Kiawah Island Club Membership Opportunity. When you enter the home the soaring vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors and abundant natural light welcome you - your eyes are drawn out the large windows to the view. You will spend many days and evenings entertaining family and friends on the large screened porch, tiered back deck or in the proposed swimming pool. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with granite counters, custom cabinets, pantry, center island and Kitchenaide appliances. The owner has equipped it nicely as they love to cook. In addition to the warm setting of the Living and Dining Room, with gas log fireplace, the home has a large family roomor fourth bedroom on the first floor, with a full bath. This room can accommodate a crowd for watching the big game or overnight accommodations. The first floor Master Suite shares the beautiful views across the lagoon and directly access the screened porch. Dual granite counter vanities, jetted tub, walk-in shower and a large walk-in closet with built ins, makes this an owners sanctuary. Head upstairs to find a lovely sitting area leading to two nicely sized bedrooms each with their own bathrooms and closets.
541 Bufflehead makes an ideal full time home or second home for the Kiawah family. Add the proposed swimming pool and it has the potential to be a well performing rental property.
The owners have taken great care of the home, including installing new thermal windows throughout the home, double glass paned front doors, adding paneling to the stairwell and storage area adjacent to the two-car garage and an epoxied floor to the garage.
Bufflehead Drive, located behind the Vanderhorst Plantation Gate, is one of Kiawah's most sought after addresses due to it's proximity to the beach access, the nature trails in the Preserve, or getting to the private Kiawah Island Club's Beach Club.
At closing buyers are required to pay 1/2 of 1% of the purchase price to the Kiawah Island Community Association capital reserve fund.
