164 Empyrean Circle

Some mornings the pond is glassy and still, and a family of swans drifts past your window before you've had your first cup of coffee. That's life at 164 Empyrean Circle. Built in 2023 by Lennar, this Kensington plan sits on one of Arcadia's most coveted pond lots in the Socastee corridor of Myrtle Beach. Five bedrooms, three and a half baths, and 2,556 heated square feet of well-planned living space designed for the way people actually live. The layout works equally well for full-time living, multigenerational arrangements, or anyone who simply wants room to breathe without paying for space they'll never use. Step inside and the first floor sets the tone. The formal dining room features a tray ceiling and anchors the front of the home. The kitchen is built for people who love to cook and entertain. White shaker cabinets stacked from 36 to 42 inches, granite countertops, a large island with seating, walk-in pantry, and a natural gas range. All stainless appliances stay, including the refrigerator. The kitchen flows open into the 16x13 family room, which leads directly into the screened Carolina room at the back of the home. That Carolina room is where this property separates itself from every other listing in the neighborhood. Fully screened with a ceiling fan, string lights already hung, and nothing between you and the pond but fresh air. The community maintains the shoreline.You maintain your drinks. The sunsets are on the house. The open green space between the screen and the water's edge is a blank canvas. The first-floor primary suite runs 14x15 with a tray ceiling, walk-in closet, double-sink vanity, and a tile shower. The windows sit in direct horizontal line with the water. You will see those swans from bed. Upstairs, the second primary suite measures 20x15 with its own tray ceiling and balcony views. It is large enough to accommodate a full sitting area alongside the bedroom furniture, and private enough that guests tend to make themselves very comfortable. The covered front balcony off this level looks out over the neighborhood. Great for sunning, yoga and people watching. Three additional bedrooms complete the upper floor, all with generous closet space and access to two full baths. The details that protect your investment: tankless Rannai natural gas water heater, attached two-car garage, LVP and tile on the main level, carpet upstairs, and an active Rocket Pest Control contract with monthly interior and exterior service plus a termite bond that transfers at closing. Washer and dryer convey. Arcadia is a resort-style natural gas community with amenities that earn their HOA fee. The pool is large. The tennis and pickleball courts are lit. The fitness center, clubhouse, firepit, and playground round out a package that competing communities charge more to access. The HOA covers common area irrigation, street lighting, trash removal, sidewalk maintenance, and professional management. The location is one of the strongest in the Grand Strand. Trader Joe's is minutes away. Forestbrook-area schools serve the community. The Socastee corridor puts you close to pilates studios, restaurants, bars, and everyday conveniences without the congestion of the tourist corridor.
