1308 Marina Bay Dr

Welcome to this stunning, almost new custom built home that offers direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway and is located in a safe, protected marina setting. Situated in Marina Bay, this home features everything a buyer could want along with beautiful waterfront views of the Intracoastal and marina from the open living, dining, and kitchen area. Unlike many ICW waterfront properties, it is an easy golf cart ride to some of the most desirable beaches in North Myrtle Beach, including Tilghman Beach, and allows short term rentals! Inside, you will find beautiful engineered hardwood floors throughout the home, with tile in the bathrooms. The second floor main kitchen features quartz countertops, a large island with seating, designer lighting and backsplash, Kenmore Elite appliances with double ovens, a warming drawer, custom cabinetry with glass accents, and interior and under cabinet lighting. The spacious dining area is filled with natural light and water views. The living room includes a double tray ceiling, an electric fireplace, and French doors that open to one of two enclosed back porch Florida rooms, both featuring vinyl windows, screens, and built in shade options for comfortable outdoor TV viewing. The porch floors are Trex and finished with indoor outdoor carpeting. The primary suite features double tray ceilings, separate his and hers closets, private French doors leading to the balcony, and an ensuite bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. This five bedroom, three and a half bath home also includes a second living area on the first floor with its own full kitchen, granite countertops, a large island with seating, living room, two bedrooms, and a full bath, making it ideal for a mother in law suite or rental opportunity. This level also includes a second enclosed porch that leads to the pool. An elevator provides convenient access between floors. The backyard is a true oasis with a heated and chilled pool, a spa, a summer kitchen with a high end Blaze grill, refrigerator, and sink with hot and cold water, as well as a fire pit. Beyond the fenced pool area, there is an additional patio with a hammock, palm trees, and seating, perfectly positioned for sunset views and enjoying music from nearby waterfront restaurants. The outdoor space also features custom pavers, landscape lighting, and a full irrigation system. The home has a metal roof, and a custom canine grass area with an advanced drainage and cleaning system has been installed beside the pool. One garage is designed to accommodate a golf cart, while the other includes a large separate storage room. The neighborhood offers overflow parking and provides special parking passes for owners boats, cars, and golf carts at the adjacent waterfront restaurants. With its charming resort style colors and decor, this home creates a relaxed coastal atmosphere. This is a rare opportunity you do not want to miss. Schedule your showing now!
