16 Tabby Links Lane

Description

In the late 1700s, the original owner of Spring Island selected a nearby site for his home, today known as the Old Tabby Ruins, drawn by the extraordinary panorama over Port Royal Sound. That same breathtaking view remains one of the finest in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Combined with views of the 18th green of Old Tabby Links and close proximity to the golf clubhouse, this home enjoys one of the most desirable locations on the island. Designed by Beaufort architect Jim Thomas, the home reflects timeless Lowcountry architecture with materials chosen for their historical precedent, beauty, and durability. A slate roof, wood shingle exterior, Savannah gray brick, and round handmade brick columns convey a sense of permanence and craftsmanship. Wide brick-floored porches provide ideal spaces to relax and entertain while taking in views of the golf course, Old Tabby Ponds, distant islands, and Port Royal Sound. Inside the home, a gracious foyer opens to a living room with an oversized raised-hearth brick fireplace and a striking curved staircase separating the living and dining rooms. The dining room features a second fireplace and built-in wine storage and connects seamlessly to a beautifully equipped open kitchen. A den with new custom built in bookshelves and entertainment system accommodates a 65" tv and the adjacent full bath offers flexible use as a sitting room or additional bedroom. The second floor includes a serene primary suite with a marble bath and dressing room, a comfortable guest bedroom with its own bath, and a conveniently located laundry room. Both upstairs bedrooms and the living room overlook the 18th fairway with expansive views across the Chechessee River and Port Royal Sound. Originally designed as a residence, the home later served as the Spring Island Club's Golf House, a place remembered fondly for afternoons spent on the porch enjoying the scenery and conversation. Cozy enough for quiet retreat yet refined enough for entertaining, this exceptional property offers a rare blend of history, craftsmanship, and setting.
