You must see this home to appreciate it! Need a MOTHER-IN-LAW suite? Two spacious living areas under one roof in North Myrtle Beach's desired, gated TIDEWATER PLANTATION:  This lovely, custom home with over 5000 HEATED sq feet is full of tasteful extras, like crown moulding, recessed lighting, granite, 4 fireplaces, tankless water heaters, 4 zone heating/air system (as well as temperature controlled attic storage), a huge screened porch along the back of the home with a fireplace, ceiling fans and a private breathtaking view of both Mallard Lake, and the golf course as well as the beautifully landscaped back yard. The first floor is totally HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE with wide doors and hallways and no steps to enter. There are two completely separate main floor living areas- 1)mother-in-law suite is fully equipped with granite, all appliances, pantry, eat-in peninsula,  large bedroom and bath, washer/dryer connection, fireplace in large living area, access to screened porch, separate entrance with no steps. It has inside access to the main home or can be totally closed off. Double insulation in the walls between the two areas make it very private and quiet (in case Mom wants the TV loud) It's hard to define how many bedrooms the home could have because the bedrooms are so spacious.  It currently is being used as a 5 bedroom home (3 of them are on the first level).The kitchen is a cook's dream! (Gas stove too!)  One of the downstairs bedrooms (not the master) is so large that it could easily be changed into a fabulous game room with plenty of space for pool table, air hockey, etc and still have a sitting space. There is a bar area just across the hall. Each bedroom has an ensuite full bath, (one is jack and jill) plus 2 half baths. Upstairs bedrooms have access to the spacious balcony with beautiful views. The exterior is much-desired hardie plank and hardie shake so low maintenance. Tidewater Plantation includes a community pool, tennis courts, clubhouse with activities, and even a cabana for owners directly on the beach, which is a short drive away!
