1548 Malaga Circle, Myrtle Beach, SC 29572

Tucked along a quiet circle in Palermo at Grande Dunes, 1548 Malaga Circle is a custom Mediterranean residence built in 2021 and sited on one of the neighborhood's premier lots. Set on more than a third of an acre, the home looks out over a tranquil pond with a fountain, while a manicured lawn rolls toward the water like a private green. From the street, the architecture makes its first impression with a clay tile roof, smooth stucco exterior, and an arched entry framed by swaying palms. Solid 2x6 wall construction and two tankless water heaters speak to the quality beneath the beauty. Step through the iron and glass double doors and the home opens into a light-filled great room where coffered ceilings, 8-inch crown molding throughout, 8-foot solid-core two-panel doors, and wide-plank flooring set a refined tone rarely found in newer construction. At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Custom cabinetry stacks to the ceiling around a striking center island topped in quartz, with seating for the whole group. A professional gas range anchors the cooking zone beneath a stainless chimney hood, complete with a pot filler and a hand-set tile accent, while wifi in the wall convection oven/microwave, a walk-in pantry, and a dedicated beverage bar with wine storage round out the space. Quartz countertops carry throughout the home for a seamless, elevated finish. The living area flows around a linear fireplace set into a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone wall, and a full wall of sliding glass doors opens to merge the indoors with the screened lanai beyond. A dining area with wainscoting overlooking the water offers options for every occasion. Built-in speakers, controlled by a Russound system, carry sound from room to room and out to the lanai. The primary suite is a private retreat with a tray ceiling, serene pond views, and direct access to the lanai. Its spa-inspired bath features a freestanding soaking tub, a frameless glass walk-in shower with pebble stone flooring, a his-and-her vanity, and oversized custom walk-in closets. A beautifully appointed flex space with an arched window provides the perfect setting for a home office, private study, reading room, or creative retreat, while generous secondary bedrooms, well-appointed full baths, a powder room, and a spacious laundry room with quartz counters and abundant cabinetry complete the interior. Outdoor living is where this home truly shines. The expansive screened lanai is a true extension of the home, with a built-in outdoor kitchen featuring a stainless grill, vent hood, and beverage refrigerator, plus a fire pit lounge, a dining bar, a hanging daybed swing, and a mounted television, all framed by panoramic screening that captures the pond and fountain view. The pristine lawn and lush, layered landscaping create a resort-like setting, enhanced by a Rain Bird-controlled irrigation system designed to keep the grounds looking their best with ease. A full three-car garage with overhead storage offers room for vehicles, golf carts, and gear. Living in Grande Dunes means access to a lifestyle few communities can match. Residents enjoy membership to the private oceanfront Grande Dunes Ocean Club, and the community is also home to two award-winning golf courses along the Intracoastal Waterway, a full-service marina, and a Har-Tru tennis center, all just minutes from the beach, dining, and shopping of the Grand Strand. This is a rare opportunity to own a like-new custom home in one of Myrtle Beach's most sought-after waterfront communities.
