I live in the gated golf course community of Dunes West in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, a suburb of Charleston. Our neighborhood is the largest gated community in the area. Why do I live in a gated community? Simple, it's where the house I liked is.
When we moved here in 1996 my little area of courtyard homes was just getting started and I wanted to buy the model home. The builder had no real desire to sell so my husband and the agent wrote 5 contracts before they finally secured my home for me....yes for me. I did not want to leave Atlanta and told my husband if I couldn't live in this house I would stay put...thank you very much.
Why did this home have such appeal? My back windows look out on the 9th fairway of the Dunes WestGolf Club, I have a lovely "courtyard" oasis with Roses, Hydrangeas, lots of Day Lilies and much more. My garden is so private I could sun bath in the nude if I wanted to. No big yard to keep up.
My house is about 3100 square feet with master on the main floor and enough room upstairs to push out the walls as my mother used to say when all the children and grands come home. My kitchen is long and narrow with more cabinets then I can fill. The two sided fireplace between the great room and the kitchen is a real treat in the cool mornings of winter.
Home Sweet Home is where my heart is. Where I can let down my hair and be me. Where my husband and I can enjoy each other. Oh, and our son Jeremy who is "special and lives with us. Stay tuned for more about him.
Come see me....I do give home tours!
