DESCRIPTION

This wonderful cottage is the first structure in a planned family compound on 2.52 acres with beautiful golf and pond views. The living room has a rich warm feeling that has been created by artfully combining beautiful reclaimed wood floors, antique ceiling beams and traditional tabby walls. Built-in bookcases, subtle lighting and a brick fireplace contribute to its comfortable feel.

The adjoining step-down kitchen and dining area relate well to the living area and use different materials to help define separate spaces. A rustic stained concrete floor, wood paneling, a wall of windows and a massive reclaimed beam create an impression that the living room and kitchen / dining area are different rooms.

Also on the main level there is a laundry / pantry at one end of the home and a bedroom and bath at the other end. Adjacent to the bath there are closets and a bunk bed with built-in storage. On the upper level of the home there is an additional bedroom and bath, with the closets and built-ins repeated.

It is noteworthy that that this home has received LEED Platinum Certification – the highest awarded by the United States Green Building Council. 15 Bird Patch Trail is one of the first Platinum LEED Certified homes in the South Carolina Lowcountry and it has set the new standard for sustainable residential development at Spring Island.

There is room on the property to build a main home and a separate garage which could eventually complement the existing Cottage.
