If you've been dreaming of a home that feels peaceful the moment you step inside, this one-level, 4-bedroom gem in The Lakes might be exactly what you've been waiting for. From the moment you walk in, the open, airy layout makes everything feel bright and welcoming. The extended living room---complete with a cozy gas fireplace---naturally becomes the heart of the home and the place where everyone tends to gather. The kitchen is the kind buyers fall in love with right away. Quartz countertops, an oversized island made for casual meals and conversation, 36" white staggered cabinets, a stylish tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a true walk-in pantry all come together to create a space that's both beautiful and genuinely functional. The owner's suite sits quietly at the back of the home, offering privacy and a sense of retreat. The ensuite bath includes a double vanity and a spacious 5' tiled shower, and the custom-built shelving in the walk-in closet adds the kind of storage and organization you don't fully appreciate until you have it. A separate linen closet keeps everything tidy and convenient. Luxury vinyl plank floors flow through the foyer, kitchen, living, and dining areas, while tile in the bathrooms and laundry room adds durability where it matters most. Out back, the screened-in porch overlooks a peaceful pond, perfect for morning coffee, unwinding in the evening, or simply enjoying the coastal breeze without the bugs. You'll also appreciate thoughtful upgrades like the tankless hot water heater and other modern efficiencies. And living in The Lakes means enjoying a beautiful community with amenities, walking areas, and a friendly neighborhood vibe. Plus, you're just minutes from everything people love about Myrtle Beach---shopping, restaurants, golf, the airport, and of course, the beach itself. This home has the comfort, the layout, and the location that buyers search for... and it's ready for you to make it your own!
