Tucked away on a stunning lakefront lot in the premier community of Plantation Lakes, 256 Shoreward Drive offers the perfect blend of luxury, design, and lifestyle. The backyard is second to none, transformed into a five-star resort-style oasis with a custom summer kitchen, exterior fireplace, heated pool, hot tub, bulkhead, and private boat dock. Inside, the open state-of-the-art kitchen flows seamlessly into the living spaces, anchored by a large study and a spacious laundry room. The primary suite is a retreat of its own with a five-star hotel-style bathroom. An oversized three-car garage provides plenty of storage. Upstairs is thoughtfully divided with a private wing featuring a bedroom, bathroom, and living area with separate washer and dryer hookups, making it ideal for adult children, guests, or an in-law suite. The opposite side offers three additional large bedrooms, a loft-style living area, and a screened balcony overlooking the lake. Every detail has been upgraded, from smart home features and new appliances to LED lighting, a new roof, new HVAC systems, and enhanced outdoor living spaces. Plantation Lakes offers a private, upscale lifestyle with scenic sidewalks, tennis courts, basketball courts, a playground, and a world-class clubhouse with a resort-style pool. Located in the highly desirable Carolina Forest area, residents enjoy easy access to top-rated schools, fine dining, upscale shopping, and everyday conveniences. Life here is about more than just a home. It is about embracing the best of Myrtle Beach living in one of its most prestigious communities.
