1048 Johnston Dr., Myrtle Beach

Everything on one level, facing the water. This to-be-built four-bedroom, three-bath home offers 3,542 heated square feet on a 1.17-acre pond-front homesite in Cypress River Plantation, a gated Intracoastal Waterway community in Myrtle Beach, SC 29588. A 16-foot sliding glass door opens the great room to the screened rear porch, so the 13-foot coffered ceiling, gas fireplace and the pond beyond all read as one space. Just off the porch, an outdoor kitchen and a 35-by-20-foot patio extend the living area into the back yard, where the site plan lays out an in-ground pool and concrete deck. Inside, the kitchen anchors the plan with a 4-by-9-foot island and farm sink, gas rangetop, double ovens and a butler's pantry with second sink and refrigerator, opening to a dining room under faux beams. The split-bedroom layout puts the primary suite on its own side: sloped beamed ceiling, oversized walk-in closet with island cabinet, dual vanities, soaking tub and a sunken tiled walk-in shower with bench. A guest bedroom with en suite bath, two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets, a study with wet bar, mud room and laundry round out the interior, and the side-load garage holds three doors, an epoxy floor and 1,224 square feet. Beyond the gate, residents have a clubhouse, fitness center, outdoor pool, tennis, pickleball and basketball courts, playground, boat and RV storage, day docks and a community boat landing on the Waccamaw River, plus sidewalks for golf carts and 24-hour security.
