Exceptional Privacy & Rare Opportunity in Palm Bay at Prince Creek. If you’ve been waiting for privacy and a truly special home, your moment has arrived. This rare Stockton model in the highly desirable Palm Bay community of Prince Creek is finally available—a floor plan so well-loved, it's hardly ever listed. Why? Because it offers everything homeowners value: a spacious open-concept design, a generous kitchen perfect for entertaining, a thoughtfully designed split-bedroom layout for privacy, and an expansive master suite. You’ll also enjoy a large front porch and a screened-in back porch that lets you soak in the serenity of your surroundings. This home is situated on one of the most private lots in the neighborhood, backing up to a protected government wetland that ensures lasting peace and seclusion. The orientation of the home also allows for lovely shaded evenings, a major perk during the warmer months. The exterior of the home is just as impressive, with a raised foundation, durable Hardie board siding, and a brand-new GAF Category 3-rated roof system with a 50-year warranty. The garage is not only finished with sleek epoxy flooring but is also climate-controlled thanks to a split HVAC system, making it both functional and comfortable. A beautifully upgraded paver sidewalk is a lovely added bonus, and the landscaping is supported by a dedicated well for irrigation. Inside, the upgrades continue with plantation shutters throughout, solar tubes in the kitchen and master bath that bring in natural light, and soaring cathedral and tray ceilings that add architectural interest. The home features natural gas throughout—for the fireplace, stove, hot water, heating system, dryer, and a whole-home generator. A Rinnai tankless water heater has been installed for endless hot water. Additional thoughtful details include surround sound, a newer washer and dryer, a newer refrigerator, a newer Weber grill, an indoor mop sink in the laundry area, a weather station, 3M safety film on all windows, and a fresh coat of paint completed in 2024.

Residents of The Bays enjoy exclusive access to both TPC Boulevard and Prince Creek Parkway, making travel through the area quick and easy without needing to use major highways. This provides unmatched convenience to nearby shops, restaurants, and the iconic Murrells Inlet MarshWalk. The Bays also stands out for its fantastic amenities, including two pools, a large clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, volleyball and basketball areas, an outdoor event gazebo, and a huge green space equipped with a soccer goal and baseball backstop. Sidewalks throughout the community make it perfect for walking, biking, or golf cart cruising. The Prince Creek district spans 2,800 acres and is centered around South Carolina’s only TPC golf course. It is one of the most sought-after places to live in Murrells Inlet thanks to its natural beauty, well-planned layout, and resort-like atmosphere.

The seafood and entertainment haven of the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk is only about four miles away, and Wacca Wache Marina is just two miles down the road.This home isn’t just a property—it’s a lifestyle.
