About this property

This gorgeous home is in a spectacular golf cart community and the advantages of everything Market Common has to offer. Emmens Preserve Market Commons, 1696 Essex Way stands out before you even step inside Premium corner lot, nature views and a home that’s been upgraded the right way! Situated across from a nature preserve area with walking path, this 5-bed, 3.5-bath home has been methodically updated from the roof down. Two new heat pumps with gas heat back up system with UV lights installed (2022), 50-year roof (2020), whole-house generator, and full security system — the big-ticket items are done. Hurricane shutters and 3M protection film on every window add a layer of protection that commands a premium in this market. Engineered hardwood flows through both floors. Oak tread staircase and oak railings to match. Built-in bookcase on second floor, gas fireplace, and a kitchen refreshed with new stove, new refrigerator, and microwave. Even the washer and dryer convey! Step outside to a screened lanai, paver patio, fenced yard, full irrigation, and established landscaping — all framed by preserve views with a view from the beautiful patio with fire pit. Trex pest in-wall system, and a contracted termite control placed around perimeter of home rounds out a home that’s been maintained like an investment. This home is just two blocks from the beautiful resort pool and amenities center. Shopping at Publix and Walmart Market. South Strand ER is minutes away and a new South Strand Hospital is under construction. Perfect location for easy access to everything Myrtle Beach has to offer.
