3111 First Ave. S

Introducing 3111 First Avenue South, an exceptional inlet-front property in the heart of Murrells Inlet. Perfectly positioned along the inlet with expansive views of the Garden City Beach peninsula, this home offers private dock access and an authentic waterfront lifestyle rarely found in this corridor. From your backyard, enjoy panoramic marsh and water views that stretch across the inlet toward the peninsula. The private fixed and floating dock provides the ideal setting for boating, fishing, or simply soaking in breathtaking sunsets. Enjoy fishing in the inlet and back creeks, or cruise by boat to dinner at the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk. Launch from your dock and head straight to the Atlantic Ocean through the Garden City Jetties — a rare opportunity for serious anglers and boating enthusiasts. For added convenience, a small neighborhood boat landing is located just five lots away, making it easy to launch smaller boats and watercraft. Uniquely designed, each level of the home mirrors the other, offering two fully functional living spaces. Both floors feature a large kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, spacious Carolina rooms, and enclosed porches that add comfortable, year-round living space. Each level also includes a generous pantry and laundry area, along with warm and inviting living rooms centered around fireplaces. An interior staircase connects both levels, allowing easy access throughout the home and creating a versatile layout ideal for multigenerational living, guests, extended family, or a variety of flexible uses. The spacious waterfront deck with an electric retractable awning extends the living area outdoors, creating the perfect space for entertaining or relaxing while enjoying the coastal breeze in both sun and shade. Underneath the home, you will find three separate storage areas providing ample room for tools, fishing gear, and additional storage needs. There is also generous covered space to store boats, paddle boards, kayaks, and other coastal equipment, along with an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day on the water. The ground level offers even more potential if a future owner desires to create an expanded outdoor entertaining area. Surrounded by established homes along this stretch of the inlet, the property presents an excellent opportunity to enjoy as-is or renovate into a customized waterfront retreat. Significant updates have already been completed, including Hardie Plank siding and exterior paint (2021), HVAC replacement (2021), new ductwork downstairs (2023), dock updates (2023), floating dock (2023), new awning (2024), and a new roof (2024). Additional improvements include a 50-gallon water heater (2021), roof repairs (2023), and various interior enhancements. These investments provide a strong foundation for future personalization. Located just minutes from the MarshWalk and local dining, this property combines location, private dock access, amazing marsh views, and the added benefit of no HOA — key components of Murrells Inlet waterfront ownership. Creekfront properties with private docks along the inlet rarely come available. Schedule your private showing and experience the inlet lifestyle firsthand.
