Imagine coming home to a beautifully appointed 2020-built home in the gated Rivers Edge Plantation community, where everyday living meets peaceful coastal-Carolina privacy. Set on .58 acres backing to protected wooded land and a tributary of the Waccamaw River, this 5-bedroom, 3-full-bath home offers an exceptional combination of sophisticated interiors, flexible living spaces, and a beautiful, private natural setting. From the moment you enter, the light-filled interior is welcoming and thoughtfully designed. The open-concept living area is the heart of the home, with the kitchen, dining area and living room seamlessly connected for everyday life and entertaining. Plantation shutters, luxury vinyl flooring and timeless custom finishes bring an upscale, refined aesthetic to the living spaces. The spacious living room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling gas fireplace, creating a warm focal point for relaxing or gathering with family and friends. The beautifully appointed kitchen features granite countertops, a custom tile backsplash, large center island, coffee bar, abundant staggered cabinetry and a large walk-in pantry. The dining area overlooks the lush backyard, while the covered rear deck extends the living space outdoors—perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. A convenient drop zone connects the kitchen to the two-car garage, making daily arrivals and departures easy and organized. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat featuring a distinctive feature wall and double tray ceiling. The suite flows naturally into the primary bath and spacious walk-in closet with built-ins, with the laundry room conveniently connected. A second main-level bedroom with its own walk-in closet connects to a full bath, providing flexibility as a guest suite, home office or multigenerational living space. An open-rail switch-back wood staircase leads to the spacious second level with three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. One oversized bedroom offers remarkable versatility as a bedroom, media room, playroom or second family room. Another features bench seating along an entire wall. The upstairs bath includes dual sinks with granite countertops and a tub/shower combination. One of the home's most appealing features is the expansive covered rear deck overlooking a peaceful wooded backdrop with a waterway beyond. The .58-acre lot offers a rare sense of privacy, with the rear portion extending toward a tributary of the Waccamaw River. The wooded area includes a wetlands buffer and wetlands, creating a beautiful natural setting. The home and yard sit on an elevated foundation within an X Zone, meaning the home and yard itself are not situated in a flood-prone area. Residents also enjoy convenient river access through the community's private boat launch. Additional features include durable Hardie Plank siding, full-yard irrigation, abundant storage, a large under-stair closet and walk-in attic. Thoughtful 2023 updates include plantation shutters, gutter guards, whole-house interior paint, an updated kitchen backsplash, new appliances and comfort-height toilets, including a bidet in the primary bath. Rivers Edge Plantation is a gated community of just 156 homes with a community pool, clubhouse, new playground, and private boat launch providing direct Waccamaw River access for boating, fishing and exploring. Historic downtown Conway, Carolina Forest, shopping, dining and the area's beautiful beaches are just minutes away. Move-in ready and thoughtfully upgraded, 258 Rivers Edge Drive offers the rare opportunity to enjoy elegant, comfortable living surrounded by privacy, nature and the beauty of coastal Carolina.
