571 Fernwood Rd., Murrells Inlet, SC 29576 MLS #2603561

This is the kind of home that feels special the moment you step inside. Solid brick construction, thoughtful updates, and timeless design come together in a way that's both elegant and incredibly livable. With four bedrooms, two and a half baths, a freshly painted interior, and an attached two-car garage, it's completely move-in ready---but far from ordinary. The heart of the home is a chef's kitchen designed for people who truly love to cook and gather. Travertine marble floors, custom cabinetry, a hand-painted tile backsplash, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a true double oven make everyday meals and holiday hosting equally effortless. The open dining area flows naturally into the family room, creating a warm, inviting space where conversations linger and memories are made. The living room is a standout, blending craftsmanship and comfort with a Russian Oak herringbone floor, a dramatic full stone veneer fireplace wall with hidden outlets, and a gas fireplace that can easily be converted back to wood-burning. Built-in, furniture-quality cabinetry adds both beauty and smart storage. For entertaining, the family room and Carolina room each feature mini-kitchenettes---perfect for hosting guests or creating flexible living spaces. The primary suite feels like a private retreat, complete with two custom walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a newly tiled shower, and a soaking tub made for unwinding at the end of the day. Outside, the gardens are nothing short of enchanting---lush, peaceful, and reminiscent of Brookgreen Gardens. A private well keeps the pond and irrigation system running efficiently, while a hard-wired propane generator offers peace of mind year-round. This is a home that's been meticulously cared for, thoughtfully upgraded, and designed to be enjoyed---whether you're hosting elegant gatherings or savoring quiet moments surrounded by beauty.
