About This Home
Tucked into the peaceful, established community of Carolina Shores, this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home offers something that is becoming harder to find: space, character, and a layout with real personality. Designed with a sense of separation and purpose that sets it apart from more predictable floor plans, this home features a formal living area, formal dining room, a comfortable family room with a gas fireplace, a breakfast room, and a spacious Carolina room filled with potential. Whether you want room to entertain, spread out, or simply enjoy everyday life without feeling boxed into a cookie cutter design, this home offers the kind of flexibility that makes it easy to picture your next chapter here. The setting feels settled and serene, with mature landscaping and an expansive outdoor area that create a private, comfortable backdrop for everyday living. The primary suite opens directly to the patio, creating an easy connection to the outdoors and a quiet retreat at the end of the day. Inside, the breakfast room and sunroom are enhanced with GE Zone air and heat, giving you added comfort and control in the spaces where people often spend the most time. It is a home that already has warmth and presence while still leaving plenty of room for your own style and vision to take shape. Important improvements have already been made, giving buyers confidence where it counts. The HVAC and ductwork were replaced in 2017, and the roof was replaced in 2023, reflecting ongoing care and thoughtful ownership. With an oversized 2 car garage and attic storage, there is also the practical functionality buyers need, whether you are looking for a home with less upkeep, more room to enjoy, or a property with strong potential. This is the kind of home that stands out for its substance and individuality. Comfortable as it is, full of character, and ready for its next look, this Carolina Shores home offers a rare opportunity to bring your personal style to a property with a strong foundation and a layout that is anything but ordinary.
