8/24/2019 A Golden Nugget in Waverly Bay!I ride my bike nearly every day in Prince Creek. My usual trek is between 8 and 10 miles. On this particular afternoon I saw a FOR SALE sale sign in Waverly Bay. I am always curious about the homes in my back yard, so I stopped in. First off, the taxes on this 4200 square foot (Under roof) home are listed at $1355 per year. Yes, you read that right. YOU CAN afford more home for your hard earned money here! Images courtesy of The Litchfield Co. RE Prince Creek Waverly Bay is a custom home neighborhood situated behind the gates of The Bays of Prince Creek. The amenities of this area are outstanding. They include two pools, tennis/pickle ball courts, clubhouse, playground, soccer field, picnic pavilion, several fire pits and much more. The HOA is listed at $146 per month. That is very reasonable for what you get. Another thing I love is the easy access to both TPC Blvd as well as Prince Creek Parkway and RT. 707. This home has all the features I expected in a custom home, and a few more! The kitchen has custom cabinets with roll-out trays in the lower cabinets. It has beautiful granite counter tops including a large island and breakfast area, also a heated tile floor for those "cold" mornings. COLD is a rather relative term for me as a New Englander. CLICK HERE to learn more about this lovely home in Prince Creek! Below are MY photos from touring the house. But, you have to see it to appreciate the finer details like the built in cabinets, spacious closets (everywhere) and molding throughout. I loved the lighted stair assist and balconies off the second level. There is this huge room tucked away on the second floor, a large bonus room just waiting to be converted into a media room, fourth bedroom, craft studio or kids playroom. Listed by The Litchfield Co, I would love to show you this home. Here's a feature I found very forward thinking: the owner outfitted the bonus room with a versa lift from the garage. How wonderful not to have to carry heavy things up the stairs! I would make that my office in a heartbeat! That, or a personal yoga retreat!
The very large (21 X 15) covered back porch features a built in outdoor kitchen (YES! I love this too!) and views of the pond and fountain are spectacular. The back yard is also fenced. This is must see home in beautiful surroundings with the Marsh Walk of Murrells Inlet and Huntington Beach State Park less then 3 miles away! CLICK HERE to learn more about this lovely home in Prince Creek! "End of the Road," that is literally the mailing address destination! This home captivates from the moment you enter the antique brick columns and wrought iron gates. That is what the brochure for this home says. I say, JAW DROPPING! How big is it? BIG. VERY BIG! Big enough that the entire second floor encompasses the master suite. All things considered, THIS home is the score of Georgetown County! The 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom home with a guest house and pool is 8400 square feet. Talk about being the QUEEN of your castle! I know, there are other luxury homes along the Grand Strand that are beach homes with ocean views. And don't get me wrong, I love them too. But there is something "Charlestonian" about the charm and sheer vastness of this property, elegant and shabby all at the same time that makes it a head and shoulders above the rest that I have seen in my travels over the past few years. The home was once part of Waverly Plantation, which dates to a late 1700s grant from the King of England. The historic setting has been preserved and is showcased with century old live oaks and cypress trees, southern plantings and heritage foliage along with an abundance of wildlife! According to South-Carolina-Plantations.com, the origin of the name was probably fashioned after Sir Walter Scott's romantic "Waverly" novels. The 8400 square foot original home was built in 1985. Renovation to the original house along with new construction began on this lovely 3-acre estate in 2001. Most rooms feature expansive windows with all-encompassing views of the Waccamaw River - Intracoastal Waterway that will stun you and take your breath away! This home is perfect for the boat owner that travels the Intracoastal Waterway annually. The water at low tide is 12 feet making it perfect for any Yacht requiring at least a 3 foot draw. Heading South on the Intracoastal, take a left into what is essentially your own water driveway and "park" at your own dock! Contact me here for a private viewing of this home! Formal and casual living and dining areas, kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances, soap stone counter tops with center island, antique heart of pine floors and un-gauged slate floors, antique brick fireplace and alabaster chandelier and lighting are just a few of the special features. Everything is special. And if you could imagine for a moment, the OUTDOOR living amenities are generous as well. The master suite is adjacent to a beautiful spa bath and a private balcony captures the layered views of the historic "Ricefields" and creeks that lead to the Intra-Coastal Waterway/Waccamaw River. (NOTE: I highly recommend a tour of the Rice Museum in Georgetown and a pontoon boat ride from Brookgreen Gardens to fully appreciate and comprehend the history this home sits upon. ) The scenic outdoor living space has been the setting of many delightful hours of entertaining with generous porches, decks, beautiful over-sized brick terraces, outdoor fireplace and amazing sunsets! A private guest house that epitomizes Southern hospitality is complete with kitchen, sitting and sleeping area overlooking a lovely pool and hot tub inviting you to relax and soak in the magnificent vistas. Not only will you be riveted watching the boats traveling the waterway, it's a bird sanctuary! The unusual birds and incredible sunsets ... you'll never want to leave. A Private tour of this one of a kind estate is by appointment only. This spectacular home is located in Seaside Pawleys Island, South Carolina. That is just over an hour north of historic Charleston. Myrtle Beach International Airport is about 30 minutes away. Georgetown Airport is nearby for private pilots as well. Photos provided by The listing agency: The Lachicotte Company through CCRA.
