139 Squash Blossom Lane, Bluffton

Enjoying expansive park views from its wide front porch, 139 Squash Blossom Lane is a four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom coastal gem in the popular River Road neighborhood. Informed by a sublime sense of spaciousness, this home's design lovingly balances open spaces in a crisp white modern palette against more intimate spots that dazzle with lively color. Within its 2,929 square feet, the home offers an ideal retreat for entertaining and enjoying the natural beauty of Palmetto Bluff from the screened year-round comfort of a wide tabby patio. Working from an inspired Pearce Scott Architects design, Artisan Custom Homes has created a wonderful home that flows between welcoming open spaces and quiet spots for peaceful contemplation. The great room's airy expanse centers on the gas fireplace, ringed by slate and rising up to a shiplap wall and reclaimed mantel. Breezing onward to the formal dining room, a wall of sliding glass opens wide for year-rounded breezes from the screened porch. A grill patio at one end of the porch adds to the culinary possibilities found in the modern white kitchen, where a center island sits beneath a soaring vaulted ceiling, ringed by Thermidor appliances and custom cabinets including shiplap range hood.The first floor also offers a stunning contrast in its quieter spaces. Off the great room, a generous office sees a white shiplap accent wall set against soothing forest green. A full laundry casts a similar contrast, with white stone counters set on brilliant blue cabinets. You'll find similar colorful interplay in each of the three guest suites, one on the ground floor and two on the second story. In the master suite, the contrast is between the crisp white of an accent wall soaring toward vaulted ceilings and the rich texture of exposed beams and hardwood floors. Crafted for comfort, this blissfully airy bedroom segues into a gorgeously appointed walk-in closet and spacious en suite with walk-in shower. Beyond a beautiful courtyard, the separate garage offers room for two cars and a golf cart.
