Iris & Howard Real Estate

552 Walcott Dr., Myrtle Beach, SC 29579

Overview:

Perfectly positioned on a quiet, private street with cul-de-sacs at both ends, this exceptional home offers a peaceful setting with minimal traffic while still providing convenient access in and out of the subdivision. Situated on a large private lot of nearly half an acre with no directly facing neighbors, the property enjoys an expansive backyard and extensive mature landscaping that create an unmatched sense of privacy and space. A charming front porch welcomes you home, while the impressive curb appeal is enhanced by a circular driveway in the front and an extended driveway leading to the side-load garage, providing abundant parking and convenience for guests and everyday living. Inside, custom craftsmanship and upscale finishes are showcased throughout, including plantation shutters on every window, extensive crown molding on both levels, elegant wainscoting, board and batten accents, and a stunning staircase featuring hardwood treads and iron balusters. Designed with both comfort and entertaining in mind, the main level features a formal dining room, spacious family room with a gas fireplace, powder room, breakfast nook, and a beautifully appointed kitchen complete with quality maple cabinetry, solid surface countertops, and upgraded stainless steel appliances. The first-floor primary suite offers a private retreat with generous proportions and a luxurious bath. Throughout the home, oversized rooms provide exceptional flexibility and comfort for everyday living. Travertine tile flooring extends throughout the first floor, while the upstairs living areas feature hardwood flooring and brand-new carpet. All secondary bedrooms are oversized and include walk-in closets with custom closet systems, while both full bathrooms offer double vanities for added convenience. One of the home's most impressive features is the versatility offered by two oversized bonus rooms creating endless possibilities for playrooms, hobby spaces, or an easy conversion to a fifth bedroom while still retaining additional bonus space. The upstairs media room includes surround sound, while the dedicated office features custom built-in desks ideal for remote work or study. Additional improvements include a new roof installed in 2021 and HVAC replacement in 2018, providing peace of mind for years to come. Located in Plantation Lakes, one of Carolina Forest's most established and prestigious communities, residents enjoy an outstanding collection of amenities including tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball courts, a fitness center, beach volleyball, playground, clubhouse, two resort-style pools including a dedicated adult-only quiet pool, a kiddie pool, and an expansive lake system complete with a boat launch and dock access.
