302 Portofino Dr., Myrtle Beach, SC 29579

Overview:

Three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home with a dedicated office or bonus room in the Merrill Villas section of Bella Vita in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This turnkey Middleton two-story floor plan sits on one of the largest corner lots in Merrill Villas and is just a five-minute walk to the community pool. The home features luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the first floor, upgraded lighting and ceiling fans, a natural gas fireplace with marble accent in the open-concept living area, and a drop zone with built-in cubbies at the two-car garage entry. The home has been freshly painted throughout, including the walls, doors, trim, and garage, and features all new carpet installed approximately 10 months ago. Additional upgrades include modern Sheetrock returns around the windows paired with custom coastal blinds for a clean, upscale finish. The kitchen includes quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink with upgraded faucet, upgraded cabinetry and hardware, a tile backsplash, pendant lighting, a walk-in pantry, stainless steel appliances, and an adjacent eat-in dining area. The ground-floor primary suite features a tray ceiling, ceiling fan, and an oversized walk-in closet with direct access to the laundry room — which includes cabinetry for added storage. The en suite bathroom offers a double vanity, a large tiled walk-in shower with marble surround, clear glass doors, and a waterfall showerhead. Upstairs, two generously sized guest bedrooms share a full bathroom. The dedicated home office provides flexible workspace separate from the main living areas. A bonus area built under the stairs offers a dedicated space for a play area, storage, or pets. Outdoor living features include a screened rear porch, an extended concrete patio, a fenced backyard with two gates, a lawn irrigation system, and gutters. The fenced-in lot provides added privacy and natural views. Merrill Villas at Bella Vita is in the Carolina Forest corridor of Myrtle Beach, with access to Highway 31, Carolina Forest Boulevard, Myrtle Beach International Airport, Coastal Grand Mall, Tanger Outlets on Highway 501, Grand Strand Medical Center, the Intracoastal Waterway, and multiple golf courses. Community amenities include a resort-style outdoor pool. The Atlantic Ocean is within minutes via Highway 31 and Robert Grissom Parkway. Merrill Villas, Bella Vita, Myrtle Beach, SC 29579.
