Tidewater residents plan many group activities like tours to Myrtle Beach attractions, group dinners, dart tournaments, art shows, aerobics, card nights, and happy hours! Nestled in the exclusive South Island sub-neighborhood sits 4976 South Island Drive. This steel frame built house sits on a .27 acre corner cul-de-sac lot and features 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The home features a long driveway, which allows it to sit far enough from the road for added privacy. Walking through the front door the first thing you notice is the amount of open space and the tall ceilings. To the right of the door sits the den/study room measuring in at 13x13 and could also be used as a 4th bedroom (two door access; other one leads to kitchen). To the left when you come through the door sits the master bedroom and a small closet for storage. The master bedroom is gigantic measuring 17x15 and features a grand master bathroom. Walking through to the bathroom sits his and her walk-in closets on each side. The master bathroom features a duel sink ""Back Saver"" vanity, shower, and a 6 foot, 6 jet marble jacuzzi tub. Walking back out to the living room, the open floorplan continues with the living room opening up to the kitchen and dining room area. The living room is large measuring 20x16 and features a gas fireplace, floating natural oak laminate wood flooring, and deck access. The kitchen is large and spacious measuring in at 16x13 and features full appliances and a large breakfast bar (accommodates 4). The dining room sits off from the kitchen which makes for great entertaining with guests. Walking towards the back of the house, the screened in back porch sits to the left of the hallway and features an overhead ceiling fan for added comfort. At the end of the hallway sits the half bathroom and to the left sits the large laundry/utility room with washer and dryer. There is also door access to the 2 car garage from this room. When you walk upstairs that's when you notice one of the best parts of the house. The staircase is completely open on the left hand side, providing an open feel and great views down below. At the top of the steps sits a linen closet to the right and straight ahead sits the 3rd bedroom which measures 21x13. This room features an overhead ceiling fan, skylights, and a private full bathroom. On the back end of the house upstairs sits the 4th and final bedroom. Just like all the others in the house, this bedroom features an overhead ceiling fan and private full bathroom with tile flooring. The exterior of this home features a private heavily wooded lot with a large full length wood deck with built in grill near the screened in back patio. This home has been well taken care of and has recently had a new roof, exterior paint, hardy plank concrete fiber siding, and ""Leaf Guard"" rain gutters. One thing not to overlook about this home is the fact that it features a steel frame. Some of the benefits of a steel frame built house include: termite proof, stronger & more durable than wood, energy efficient, hurricane resistant, lowers insurance costs, and very low maintenance. The interior also has many features and upgrades that most homes in Tidewater Plantation don't have. The home features a security system on the main level, 8 cable tv/high speed internet outlets, a ceramic tiled gas log fireplace in the living room, and a 50 gallon high recovery gas water heater to accommodate all showers, baths, and the jacuzzi. The kitchen features upgrades such as a Thermador gas range, tile back splash, and a Frigidaire dishwasher.
