A home that lives as beautifully as it entertains. Perfectly positioned in the gated community of The Cottages at The Surf. This exceptional former model home offers the privacy of a conservancy backdrop, the convenience of one of the Cherry Grove section of North Myrtle Beach's most desirable locations, and thoughtful upgrades that set it apart. Designed for effortless gatherings, the expansive open kitchen and living area comfortably accommodate large groups while maintaining an inviting everyday feel. Step onto the enlarged second-story deck where afternoon shade, ocean breezes, and the natural privacy of the conservancy create an outdoor retreat you'll enjoy year-round. Inside, quality is evident throughout. The chef's kitchen features premium GE Café Series appliances, excluding the dishwasher (all less than five years old), natural gas cooking, and an open design that keeps everyone connected. Luxury vinyl plank flooring extends through the home with the exception of the primary suite, where comfort takes center stage. The primary bath offers a ceramic walk-in shower, while the finished walk-in closet and custom built-in office add everyday functionality. The home offers three bedrooms and two and one-half baths for ease of use. Great floor plan and a must-see. Behind the walls, the home is equally impressive. A Bosch HVAC system with Ecobee smart thermostats, whole-house Gigabit Ethernet wiring, Lutron Caseta smart lighting, smart ceiling fan controls, whole-house surge protection, a Navien tankless water heater, solar-powered attic fan, insulated garage doors, gutter guards, and keyless front and garage entry provide the modern conveniences today's buyers expect. The walk-out lower level offers excellent storage and future possibilities, while community amenities include a beautiful pool and gated entrance. Just minutes from the beach, dining, golf, entertainment, healthcare, and both local boutiques and national retailers, this location delivers the lifestyle that makes North Myrtle Beach one of the Grand Strand's most desirable destinations. Included with the home are the GE Café kitchen appliances, washer, dryer, garage refrigerator, steel garage shelving, three mounted televisions, and the outdoor fire table.
