This level includes a secondary kitchen, living area, spacious bedroom suite, private bath, and its own laundry space. It gives the home a true ''home within a home'' feeling, which is such a gift in today's market. And let's talk about the garage situation, because it is fabulous. The first floor features a long tandem garage that can fit multiple vehicles, plus an additional garage bay.

Gorgeous quartz countertops provide plenty of workspace, tall cabinetry reaches all the way up, and the shimmering glass backsplash adds just the right amount of sparkle. The gas cooktop is framed by windows where you can catch views across the way, and the stainless steel hood gives the kitchen a polished, elevated look. Refrigerator (coming soon), a microwave in the island, dishwasher beside the sink, stainless single-bowl sink, and beautiful finishes all come together in a kitchen that is as functional as it is pretty. There is also room to make the dining-side wall work even harder for you. A buffet, sideboard, beverage station, wine bar, or added cabinetry could extend the kitchen's function and create the perfect spot for entertaining. Step outside from the kitchen onto the covered back porch, and you get another layer of coastal Carolina living. Watch golfers across the way, enjoy the stained wood porch details, and soak in the peaceful setting. From the living area, there are also lovely views toward Dutchman Creek,
