THE NEW LOOK AT HUNTINGTON LAKE IS HERE-and 42 Courtyard Circle wears it well. This 3-bedroom, 3-bath end-unit villa in Huntington Lake Villas at The Reserve in Pawleys Island has been repainted in the community's fresh gray and taupe palette, and the new photography offers a fresh reason to take a closer look. With 2,633 heated square feet, a main-level primary suite, dedicated home office, and oversized two-car garage, it offers substantially more space and function than many buyers expect from villa living. The floor plan puts the primary suite, office, kitchen, dining area, two-story great room, laundry, screened porch and grilling patio all on the main level. Upstairs, two guest suites each have a private bath, while an open loft and large climatized storage room provide additional living and storage space without sacrificing the convenience of main-level living. The setting is another part of the story. This end-unit villa has a pond view with a shaded, wooded backdrop beyond the water and no neighboring building on one side, creating a greater sense of separation and privacy. Oak hardwood floors extend through the main living areas, and the two-story great room features a fireplace framed by custom built-ins. It opens directly to the screened porch, creating a comfortable outdoor sitting area overlooking the pond. The dining area connects to the grilling patio, where a gas line is already in place. The patio continues around the screened porch, creating multiple places to sit, dine and grill. Remote-controlled blinds span the rear windows, and the roof was replaced in 2023. Storage is a particular strength of this floor plan, with generous closets, an under-stair pantry, a large upstairs climatized storage room and additional space in the oversized two-car garage. Huntington Lake Villas has a genuine neighborhood feel within The Reserve. Owners enjoy a private neighborhood pool and owners' Amenity Center with fitness center. Huntington Lake Villas is the only residential section within The Reserve with its own private pool inside The Reserve gates, and no separate club membership is required to use it. Under the current governing documents, rental rights do not transfer to a new purchaser. The exterior transformation at 42 Courtyard Circle is now complete. Repairs were addressed as part of the improvement process before the building was repainted in Huntington Lake's new gray-and-taupe palette. The updated colors give the villa a fresh, current look against the established landscaping and pond setting. Ownership in The Reserve also includes deeded Litchfield by the Sea privileges, with private beach access, use of the owners' oceanfront clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, walking trails, and access to the River Club pool. The Reserve Golf Club and Harbor Club Marina offer optional golf and boating opportunities through separate memberships or arrangements. If you've been looking for a villa in The Reserve with a main-level primary suite, dedicated home office, two-car garage, substantial storage, and room for guests, take a fresh look at 42 Courtyard Circle. The new exterior may catch your attention-but the way this villa lives is still its strongest case.
