This home has a New Look - all of the once-wood trim has been freshly painted white, giving it a crisp coastal feel. The property now features a partial privacy fence, a rebuilt outdoor shower, and fresh touches that make it shine inside and out. The lower level offers a 3-bedroom, 2½-bath residence (approximately 2,250 sq/ft), while the upper level features a 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment/mother-in-law suite (approximately 1,180 sq/ft) with its own private entrance - ideal for guests, or rental income. As you step inside, you'll notice how bright and inviting this Lowcountry-style home feels. The spacious living room flows seamlessly into the dining and kitchen areas, creating a natural gathering space. The kitchen offers ample counter space and cabinetry, making everyday cooking a joy while keeping you connected to the conversation. Just off the kitchen, a dedicated laundry room with extra cabinets and counters adds practical convenience - and the washer and dryer are included. A large Carolina room provides an additional place to unwind, ideal for movie nights or casual entertaining. The primary suite feels like a private retreat with a step-in closet, newly renovated bath, and French doors leading to the backyard patio. Two additional bedrooms with generous closets share a well-appointed full bath. Step through the enclosed porch to enjoy the rebuilt outdoor shower - perfect after a beach day, with the ocean less than half a mile away! The front yard is beautifully landscaped with mature palm trees, and the backyard offers space to add a pool for the ultimate coastal lifestyle. The attached 3-car garage provides room for two vehicles plus a golf cart or small car, along with a workshop area and a half bath for added convenience. Upstairs, the private apartment provides two bedrooms, a full bath, and a dedicated laundry area (washer and dryer included). This separate suite offers excellent rental potential, whether for long-term tenants or short-term vacation guests. The property also includes approximately 500 sq/ft of unfinished attic space that could be converted into additional living quarters with its own entrance - offering even more flexibility. Beyond its thoughtful layout and recent updates, this home presents an outstanding investment opportunity - ask your agent about the rental income projection! Whether you're seeking a primary residence, second home, or income-producing property, this one delivers it all. Perfectly positioned in the highly desirable Garden City Beach / Murrells Inlet area, this home blends classic Lowcountry charm with modern comfort, all just minutes from the sand, surf, and coastal amenities you love.
