$469,900 - 214 Greenlake Drive, Myrtle Beach

This stately home was custom built in 1992 to "old time" specifications. No air guns were used; rather hammer and nails so that owner could be sure the nails hit the studs. No squeaking stairs either. They are solid and soundless. Subflooring of both tongue-and-groove and plywood. Enjoy the three-element, crown molding. Builders installed a hurricane room with 8" walls of concrete block filled with concrete and rebar and 6" solid concrete ceiling. Windows have hurricane protection also. Roof is of 5/8" plywood rather than particle board and new shingles were installed in 2000. Both 12-seer heat pumps were new in 1999. Even the interior walls were insulated to help with noise reduction. Fireplace is being used now with propane, but can be woodburning. A 325-gallon, buried propane tank also is used for grill and 25KW, whole-house generator with automatic transfer switch. The sprinkler system can be operated with the well pump or with a flip of a valve with public water supply. Low Country decking at rear gives a secluded view of the golf course fairway. The driveway is long and wide and able to accomodate your motorhome or boat. Three-car detached garage with office area is connected by a breezeway to the main house and has solid material interior walls rathern than just sheetrock. There is storage over the garage and a separate 12x14 detached storage building at the rear of the half-acre estate. Walk to the Arcadian beach. No better location on The Grand Strand between Hwy 17 and Atlantic Ocean midway of Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach. Original owners.
