Significant Price Improvement! Rare opportunity to own a beautifully refreshed single-level home in one of Murrells Inlet's most sought-after communities! Nestled beneath a canopy of majestic live oaks in desirable Mt. Gilead, this beautifully updated home has been completely transformed with fresh white paint inside and out, creating a bright, timeless backdrop ready for your personal style. Situated on a 0.28-acre homesite, you'll enjoy the privacy of mature landscaping with no HOA and endless possibilities to make this property your own. Offering 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, this thoughtfully designed home blends character with functionality. The spacious primary suite is a true retreat featuring French doors that lead to a private backyard patio, the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee, wake up slowly beneath the shade of the live oaks, or unwind with a glass of wine after a day on the water. The spa-inspired ensuite features a clawfoot soaking tub, walk-in tiled shower, and double pedestal sinks. A secondary bedroom also offers the convenience of its own private ensuite bath, making it ideal for guests or multigenerational living. Beautiful original hardwood floors flow throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, complemented by tile flooring in all bathrooms. A welcoming foyer opens to a flexible floor plan featuring a formal dining room, spacious living area, laundry room, and a bright Carolina room with sliding glass doors opening onto the brand-new rear deck, creating the perfect indoor-outdoor living space for entertaining or relaxing beneath the oaks. Unlike many renovated homes, this one offers a unique opportunity to personalize the finishing touches. As a licensed South Carolina contractor, the seller intentionally left select finishes for the next owner to customize rather than making design choices they may wish to change. With an acceptable offer, the seller is willing to discuss buyer-selected improvements or other renovation options, allowing you to create a home that truly reflects your own style and vision. Additional updates include new windows, while the backyard offers plenty of room to add an inground pool, detached garage, workshop, or the ultimate outdoor oasis. The circular driveway provides abundant parking for family, guests, boats, or recreational vehicles. Located just minutes from the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk, public boat landings, Huntington Beach State Park, Brookgreen Gardens, championship golf, dining, shopping, and the beach, this home offers the perfect blend of privacy, convenience, and Lowcountry charm. Whether you're looking for a peaceful Lowcountry retreat, a place to entertain family and friends, or simply the freedom to create your dream backyard oasis, this Mt. Gilead gem offers endless possibilities. Homes in this cherished community rarely become available—don't miss your opportunity to make it yours. Schedule your private showing today!
