Property Description
***Active with kickout. Contract subject to buyer sale contingency with 2-calendar-day kickout; seller welcomes showings and backup offers. *** Opportunity on the lake in Southwood. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom single-level home offers 2,507 heated square feet, an attached 2-car garage, lakefront setting, dock and seawall at the water's edge, and a private fenced in-ground pool area overlooking the water. Built in 1993 and still carrying many of its original finishes, this home is ideal for a buyer who values location, lot, layout, and the chance to renovate over time to fit their own style. The floor plan offers generous room sizes and flexible living space throughout. The main living room features vaulted ceilings and an open dining area, creating a large central gathering space. The Carolina Room overlooks the pool and lake, while the family room/eat-in kitchen area provides additional everyday living and dining space. The kitchen includes a breakfast bar, major appliances, and abundant cabinetry. The spacious primary suite includes vaulted ceilings, walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom with garden tub, separate shower, and vanity. Two additional bedrooms, a full hall bathroom, powder room, laundry/utility area, pull-down stair access to the floored attic, and large garage complete the interior layout. The outdoor setting is the highlight. The home sits on a 0.28-acre lakefront lot with wide water views, mature surroundings, patio space, fenced pool area, dock, and seawall. The pool is currently winterized, and the seller's current plan is to have it opened near the end of May. A prior home inspection and supporting documents are available for buyer review upon request. The list price reflects the home's condition, original finishes, and opportunity for future updates. A seller-provided home warranty is also included. Located in the established Southwood community, this home offers a convenient Surfside Beach-area lifestyle with easy access to the beach, shopping, dining, golf, and everyday services. Southwood is known for its mature setting, neighborhood lakes, well-kept homes, and community amenities, including two outdoor pools. The location is tucked away from busier beach traffic, yet just minutes from Surfside Beach, Highway 544, Highway 17 Bypass, Market Common, grocery stores, restaurants, and area attractions.
