173 Brookgate Dr.

Tucked beneath mature shade trees in the established Forestbrook community, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom ranch offers character, comfort, and one of the most central locations in Myrtle Beach. From the street, a wall of tall front windows and warm natural stone accents create instant curb appeal. Step up onto the new front entry deck and inside to soaring vaulted ceilings, a handsome wood beam accent, and an abundance of natural light. The heart of the home is a striking double-sided wood-burning fireplace, wrapped in stacked stone and brick, that anchors the open living and dining areas and brings warmth and personality you simply can't recreate. Fresh wood-look laminate flooring flows through the main living spaces, bedrooms, and bathrooms with easy-care tile flooring in the kitchen and laundry. The kitchen features stainless appliances, generous counter space, a mosaic tile backsplash, and a pantry. Retreat to a comfortable primary suite with its own private bath, plus well-sized secondary bedrooms. A bright, enclosed, heated bonus room, the former garage finished with durable rubber interlocking floor tile, offers flexible space for a media room, gym, office, or playroom. Major updates bring peace of mind: roof (2019), HVAC (2020), newer windows, fresh interior paint, professional window tint, and a French drain system with sump pump that drains to the flower bed. Out back, a fully fenced yard with a large patio, mature trees, and a matching storage shed creates a private retreat for entertaining or unwinding. Forestbrook residents enjoy wonderful amenities including a community pool, pickleball, tennis and basketball courts, a playground, and a soccer field, all just minutes from top schools, shopping, dining, medical care, and the beach. At this price and location, this one won't last long. Come see it before summer slips away! Some photos in listing have been virtually staged/altered.
