    What's special

    Elevator accessElevator in salters cove
    Welcome home to Salters Cove, one of Garden City Beach's most beloved beachside communities. This is the kind of place people fall in love with, where you can hop on the golf cart, bike, or even walk just a short distance to the South Carolina sand, then come right back home to a neighborhood with its own clubhouse, pool, and playground! This 4-bedroom home offers the coastal lifestyle so many buyers can just dream of, and it comes with some truly special features that set it apart from all the rest of them. Finding a home with an elevator in Salters Cove is genuinely RARE, and this one was thoughtfully added by the owners in 2019, making every level of the home easy to enjoy for years to come. Like this isn't enough, the owners also own the last remaining vacant lot in Salter's Cove right next door (and yes, you can purchase that lot for the extra room and privacy if you would like). And we're not done yet! This home is one of the few that sits in the low risk flood zone Zone X, which means lenders do not require flood insurance. It is important to note that this home is not located in a higher-risk flood zone, giving buyers real peace of mind on the coast. Because of this, you have the freedom to enclose additional space under the home if you would like, adding valuable square footage without the flood insurance concerns many coastal properties carry. **I told you it was RARE!!!! And the list just keeps going... This bonus room and full bathroom under the home has real potential to become whatever you decide to make of it. Also under the home is a large oversized 3-4 car garage (depending on the size of vehicles), a workshop, and elevator access. Front and back decks let you take in the coastal breeze morning and night. The owners also added a separate irrigation meter, which helps lower the monthly water bill by a fair amount. Close to everything the Garden City Beach & Surfside Beach area has to offer, this home is one of the more unique opportunities in Salters Cove. Homes with an elevator, extra buildable space, and a neighboring lot available simply do not come along often. It is a rare chance to secure a rare Salters Cove design and the final piece of land available in this special community for family, guests, or future building plans. **The enclosed space/room downstairs could be heated & cooled, adding much more heated square ft. The owners added the 136-square-foot rear deck in 2016. The owners enclosed the original screened-in porch, creating an extra bedroom or office space (access to the elevator would go through this room). --Lot next door is also for sale. That address is 492 Bay Drive Extension--
