Nestled within the tall pines of The Forest is a home that offers complete serenity and peace, along with privacy, but in a location close enough to bike to the beach. This exceptional home, built to blend with nature's glory, delivers the exact features so many seek when looking for their perfect home. Appropriately named, The Forest, this neighborhood is unique to all others because the community was built around what Nature had already provided. From streets that wind through the mature Oaks & Pines, to the single lane bridge that crosses the creek and all the home blending with the natural environment. Once you arrive at Oak Ridge Place, it will be the small circle of homes centered in the neighborhood and the beautiful design of the homes that attract you. This home's location essentially eliminates drive-by traffic and offers a wonderful habitat for a variety of birds. Entering the front foyer your eyes will be drawn to both the sunken Great Room and the beautiful wide-plank heart pine flooring. The junction of the foyer puts the living space ahead and to the left, with bedrooms and baths to the right. The Great Room has wonderful vaulted and boxed beamed ceilings, along with a fireplace boxed by twin windows. The formal Dining Room is adjacent to the Kitchen and next to the entry foyer which makes for a good flow. Entering the Kitchen you will notice plenty of counter space and customized cabinets. The stainless appliances against the designer colors seem to establish that this is a serious Kitchen built for great meals! One of the great surprises of the home is the Extra Family Room that comes off the Kitchen and floods the room with Natural light. This layout offers the coziness that couples seek, but the direct access onto the back patio also offers a perfect space for entertaining. Back to the Bedrooms; the wood flooring breaks to give a you a carpeted hallway entrance into the sleeping quarters. Plenty of storage and laundry adorns the left-side hallway before arriving at the guest bedroom doorways. Both bedrooms provide plenty of room for selected furnishings and closet space to spare. The large secondary bath is just off from both doorways and at the end of the hall. Around the bend of the hall is the Owner's suite and bath. This is a room built for relaxing with plenty of areas for morning exercise, reading, or movies in bed! The details of the home are carried forth here as well. The second surprise of the home is the huge, custom-built dressing room and closet. This amazing room offers built-in closet sections along with added shelving for a lot of storage! The backyard of the home has the feel of a peaceful animal sanctuary with enough yard for any activity you dream up! The features of the yard are the custom-built patio, which has access points from the Great Room and the Kitchen, and the basketball court! If you enjoy both relaxing and activity, but with a high level of privacy this is the yard to see! The Forest is a wonderful neighborhood positioned between Hwy 17 and the Waterway, but only about 3/4 of a mile for the private beaches of Briarcliffe. It is an established community with mature landscaping and a very unique feel as you drive through to get home. Convenient to both Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach; you are only a 1/2 mile to the award-winning Barefoot Landing center.
