Just a short stroll from the beach, this charming duplex in the heart of Crescent Beach offers the kind of coastal lifestyle people dream about --- and with no HOA, you'll enjoy the freedom and flexibility that's hard to find this close to the ocean. Set on an oversized lot and safely outside of a flood zone, this property works beautifully as a beach getaway, investment property, or multigenerational retreat. With separate entrances on opposite sides of the home, each level feels private and comfortable, making it ideal for hosting guests or generating rental income while still having your own space to relax. Each floor features 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, along with its own washer and dryer, creating an easy, functional setup for everyday living. The home is truly move-in ready with major updates already completed, including a metal roof installed in 2017 and two brand-new HVAC systems replaced in December 2023. Updated bathrooms, newer appliances, and modern finishes add to the appeal, while the lower level showcases upgraded cabinetry and granite countertops for a fresh coastal feel. The upstairs unit is being sold fully furnished and feels bright and inviting thanks to oversized living room windows that fill the space with natural light. Designer window treatments add a polished touch, and outside you'll find a furnished patio area with a gas grill ready for evenings after a day at the beach. Whether you're searching for a smart investment, vacation home, or a place where family and friends can gather year after year, this Crescent Beach duplex is a rare opportunity in one of the Grand Strand's most loved beach communities.
