A rare opportunity in the heart of Pawleys Island—this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home sits on approximately one acre with pondfront views, no HOA, and a level of privacy that’s increasingly difficult to find this close to everything. Located just minutes from the beach, golf courses, restaurants, and daily conveniences, this property offers the best of both worlds—central location and a setting that feels private and removed. The home itself is a thoughtfully designed brick residence that has evolved over time to meet the way people really live. Originally built as a two-bedroom home, a well-planned addition created a true primary suite—set privately at the back of the home and giving the layout a comfortable separation between owner and guest spaces. Inside, the main living area opens up with vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and a gas fireplace framed by custom built-ins—creating a space that feels open, comfortable, and connected to the outdoors. Mosaic tile accents within the cabinetry add a subtle layer of character that sets the space apart. The kitchen is positioned at the center of the home, exactly where you want it—open to the living and dining areas and designed for both daily life and gathering. A large granite bar offers seating for several, complemented by ample cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and a full GE appliance package, including a propane gas range for those who prefer to cook with precision and control. From here, the home naturally extends outward to a screened porch and expansive decking, creating an easy transition between indoor and outdoor living. The guest accommodations are well-sized and thoughtfully arranged. The front suite features a bay window, walk-in closet, and full bath that also functions well for visiting guests. The second bedroom includes a tray ceiling and access to a spacious ensuite bath with both a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Privately positioned at the rear of the home, the primary suite feels like its own wing. A second gas fireplace, built-in sound system, and French doors leading to a private deck overlooking the pond and surrounding trees create a setting that’s quiet and comfortable without feeling removed. The ensuite bath features dual vanities, a soaking tub with natural views, a large walk-in shower with dual showerheads, and a separate water closet with bidet. Functionality carries throughout the home with a true mudroom, an oversized laundry room with direct access to the primary closet, and a two-car garage with ceiling height suitable for a boat rack or lift. The home is also equipped with a propane gas water heater, adding efficiency and reliability to the list of practical upgrades. And then there’s the outdoor space—which is where this property really separates itself. Set on approximately one acre, the backyard offers a level of privacy and flexibility that is increasingly rare in central Pawleys Island. Multiple levels of decking lead to an above-ground saltwater pool, with an outdoor shower conveniently positioned nearby. Mature fruit trees—including peach, plum, pear, citrus, and blackberry—bring a seasonal element to the landscape, creating a setting that feels established, usable, and genuinely enjoyable. It’s not just the home—it’s the combination of land, location, and freedom. A property like this offers space to spread out, privacy to enjoy, and the ability to live without the constraints of an HOA—all while staying close to everything that makes Pawleys Island such a special place to call home.
