Discover this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3-bath semi-detached home with a one-car garage, nestled in a sought-after 55+ community in Little River, South Carolina. Perfectly situated just off Highway 17, you are minutes from the Intracoastal Waterway and North Myrtle Beach, giving you front-row access to the best of coastal living. Little River is famous for its laid-back charm, and living here means you're just a stone's throw from the historic waterfront. You can spend your days strolling beneath the moss-draped live oaks, watching the fishing boats and shrimping trawlers come in, or enjoying a casual meal right on the water. It’s a golf cart-friendly community where locals gather for world-class fishing charters, casino boats, and vibrant annual events like the famous Blue Crab Festival and the fall Shrimp Festival. Whether you're hunting for fresh catch at the local docks or listening to live music by the water, the lifestyle here is effortlessly relaxed. The home itself is designed so you can actually enjoy all this free time, thanks to an HOA that works hard so you don't have to. Your monthly dues cover a remarkable range of services: full landscaping and lawn care, cable and high-speed internet, trash collection, interior and exterior pest control (including fire ant treatments), power washing, gutter cleaning, pool access, and key exterior maintenance—including the roof. That's a massive bundle of expenses and weekend chores simply taken off your plate. Plus, being situated in Flood Zone X offers additional peace of mind with no lender flood insurance required. The location is incredibly convenient, keeping you close to championship golf courses, marinas, medical facilities, shopping, and dining. For effortless travel, a back entrance to the neighborhood connects directly to a traffic light and gas station on Highway 17, making it easy to head out in either direction. Inside, the open-concept floor plan feels airy and bright, featuring cathedral ceilings and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main living areas. The main level includes a spacious primary suite and a comfortable guest bedroom, offering flexible living for family or visitors. The updated kitchen shines with granite countertops, a classic tile backsplash, and a modern faucet—ideal for everyday cooking and easy entertaining. Recent upgrades add serious value and peace of mind, including a new roof (installed in 2022 and maintained going forward by the HOA), a recently replaced and regularly serviced HVAC compressor, new GFCI outlets, updated smoke and fire alarms, and a whole-house surge protector. The first-floor guest bathroom features a brand-new vanity and toilet, while the upstairs third bedroom offers fresh carpet and an updated staircase railing. When you want to unwind, step out to the enclosed patio, complete with stamped concrete flooring, screened windows, a ceiling fan, and a TV mount—making it a perfect year-round retreat. Best of all, the community pool sits directly across the street, making a quick swim easier than ever. With low-maintenance living, an unbeatable location, and an HOA that genuinely delivers, this is coastal life done right.
