About This Home
As of July 2026Welcome to this beautifully maintained home located at 125 Black Bear Rd, offering comfort, efficiency, and convenience in the heart of the Grand Strand. Perfectly positioned in the desirable Socastee area, this home is just minutes from local schools, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. Enjoy being centrally located with easy access to both Myrtle Beach and the waterfront charm of Murrells Inlet, making beaches, entertainment, and restaurants just a short drive away. This home features numerous recent upgrades designed for both comfort and long-term savings. A new roof and new gutters with screens provide peace of mind, while the heat pump, installed just a few years ago, ensures efficient climate control. The system is further enhanced by a soft-start controller, which reduces voltage during startup to help extend the life of the unit. Energy efficiency is also boosted by solar panels, significantly reducing electric costs and offering a transferable 25-year warranty for added value. Inside, you'll find new LED kitchen lighting with remote control, a new sink and garbage disposal, and programmable thermostats to maximize comfort and savings. A mechanical timer on the water heater helps reduce energy usage during peak hours (3 PM - 6 PM in summer and 6 AM - 9 AM in winter), adding another layer of efficiency. Additional thoughtful updates include senior-height toilets, all-new smoke detectors less than one year old, and a new water heater for improved efficiency. The home is also equipped with a whole-house surge protector installed at the electrical panel, offering added protection for your appliances and systems. Storage is made easy with an electric lift to the garage attic, along with four detached storage buildings: two large (8'x7') and two smaller (3'x5'), providing plenty of space for tools, equipment, or hobby use. The property also includes a full propane tank and a fenced backyard, perfect for pets, outdoor gatherings, or relaxing in your private outdoor space. Located in a well-established area known for its convenience and accessibility, this property offers the ideal combination of modern updates, energy efficiency, and a central location within the Grand Strand. Whether commuting to Myrtle Beach, heading south to Murrells Inlet, or staying close to the highly regarded Socastee community amenities, this home delivers both value and lifestyle.
