This wonderful, wooded backyard will be a great spot for grilling, entertaining and building memories with family and friends or just relaxing and enjoying the privacy and sights and sounds of nature. Two car garage. Since owners purchased the home less than 7 months ago, they have fenced the entire backyard, added gutters, added 5 ceiling fans with remotes (2 smart on 1st floor and 3 regular fans upstairs), smart switch in kitchen, kitchen backsplash and surge protection for the entire house. This is a smart home so you can control the thermostat, front door light and lock and video doorbell from your smartphone or with voice commands to Alexa. The Oak Arbor community has only 46 homesites and features sidewalks, streetlights and fiber optic internet, so important for those working from home. Just 5.5 miles to the beach at Huntington Beach State Park and conveniently located in Murrells Inlet off Highway 707 close to dining, shopping, schools, and the famous Marsh Walk.
