Nestled on the creek in the desirable Murrells Inlet/Garden City Beach area, this beautifully renovated home offers one of the most unique and scenic properties in Garden City. With breathtaking deep-water creek views stretching as far as the eye can see and located just two blocks from the beach, the home perfectly blends coastal living with convenience. Atlantic Avenue, featuring the beloved Garden City Pier, restaurants, and entertainment, is just moments away. Originally redesigned by an interior designer, the home showcases thoughtful architectural details and high-end finishes throughout. The striking entryway features blue hexagon tile leading into the main living space with ¾” engineered hardwood floors and exposed beams reclaimed from the original structure. Large windows frame sweeping creek views, filling the home with natural light. The kitchen combines function and style with quartz countertops, custom tile backsplash, and charming Big Chill vintage-style appliances. A NanaWall out-folding kitchen window allows you to open the space completely and enjoy the coastal breeze and natural surroundings. In the living room, a dramatic 9-foot NanaWall accordion door fully collapses to create seamless indoor-outdoor living and opens directly to the inlet-facing deck. Lighting and design elements throughout the home have been thoughtfully upgraded to create a refined yet relaxed coastal atmosphere. The lower level has been carefully redesigned with sealed concrete floors, spray foam insulation, waterproof Azek trim, and shiplap detailing. Reclaimed lumber from the original home has been repurposed into the downstairs vanity, adding a unique design element. Exterior improvements include low-maintenance Hardie board siding, a standing seam metal roof installed in 2020, and composite decking with modern cable railing. The covered back porch incorporates reclaimed beams from the original home as a custom serving bar. An enlarged hot and cold outdoor shower provides the perfect place to rinse off after a beach day. The private dock and boat ramp offers ideal access for relaxing, boating, fishing, and enjoying the creek, well known locally as a flounder hotspot. Additional improvements include a dam wall designed to prevent tidal flooding and a custom fence installed in 2022. Recent updates by the current owners also include a newly constructed HVAC deck completed in late 2025 and upgraded landscaping with decorative stone along the side of the home. This exceptional creekfront property offers stunning views, distinctive architectural character, and an unbeatable location just steps from the beach.
