About this property
85 Mooring Buoy -Dock, Private Pool & Lagoon Views. 176 Yards to the ocean
This incredible 5-bed, 5.75-bath Palmetto Dunes home exudes low country charm and sophistication. With the lagoon and private dock a few steps beyond your pool area and the pristine Hilton Head beaches just a short walk from your front door, 85 Mooring Buoy is the perfect island oasis. The grand front entrance opens to a fantastic living and dining space with gorgeous ceiling detail and a chandelier. The double kitchen space blends beauty and function with all its high-end finishes and gourmet appliances. A wall of windows in the dining room opens to a beautifully appointed screened living room with an outdoor fireplace and covered dining area overlooking the pool and lagoon. The patio and pool deck are ideal for sunning, reading, or daydreaming. Each elegant and comfortable bedroom has a luxurious bathroom. Everything in between this island beach home has everything from morning coffee at the pool to beautiful dinners on the patio.
