Welcome to 5 East Pine Court, where classic charm, comfortable living, and the relaxed Carolina coast come together in one inviting home. Your coastal lifestyle starts here. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street in the established community of Carolina Shores, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom brick home offers the space, flexibility, and location you have been waiting for. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the timeless curb appeal and beautifully landscaped setting. Step inside and feel right at home in the bright, welcoming family room, where vaulted ceilings and skylights fill the space with natural light. On cooler evenings, gather around the raised hearth gas log fireplace, complete with blowers, and enjoy the warmth and comfort of a space made for relaxing and connecting. The updated kitchen is both attractive and practical, featuring the existing appliances, a stylish backsplash, and plenty of functionality for everyday living. Throughout the home, thoughtful details such as chair rail molding, plantation shutters, crown molding, add character and timeless appeal. One of the bedrooms is currently being enjoyed as a formal dining room, offering the flexibility to easily adapt the home to your lifestyle. And then there's the Carolina Room, a space you will quickly find yourself loving. This room extends your living space and provides the perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon reading, entertaining friends, or simply enjoying the view of your landscaped yard. With a mini-split system installed in 2025, you can enjoy this special space comfortably in every season. You will also appreciate the peace of mind that comes with important recent improvements, including an HVAC system installed in 2023 and a 40-gallon water heater installed in 2021. Need room for your hobbies, projects, or toys? The separate heated and cooled workshop/garage adds an incredible bonus. While excluded from the home's heated living area, this versatile space offers endless possibilities for a workshop, creative studio, storage, home office, or hobby area. A garage-style door opens directly to the backyard, and the workshop is accessed from a private terrace connecting it to the sunroom. Outside, mature landscaping creates a peaceful backdrop for enjoying the Carolina weather. An irrigation well helps keep the yard vibrant, while the quiet dead-end location adds an extra sense of privacy and tranquility.
