2024 Ranch: Pond-Facing 3BR/2BA with Screened Porch & Finished Garage
Step inside this like-new, single-story ranch by Pulte (2024) and immediately notice the thoughtful upgrades that set it apart. The open main living area features durable luxury vinyl plank flooring, LED recessed lighting, and a sightline to the pond — a calming backdrop visible from the living room and screened porch. The kitchen is appointed for everyday cooking and entertaining: granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, high-end stainless appliances, and a gas range. A large pantry and generous counter space make meal prep efficient.
The split floor plan places a private primary suite on one side, with a roomy walk-in closet and a well-appointed bathroom featuring a double-sink vanity with granite counters and a spacious shower. Two additional bedrooms are carpeted for comfort and share a full bathroom. Practical touches finish the home: a separate laundry room, Rinnai tankless hot water, insulated doors, and window treatments.
Outdoor living extends the footprint of the home. A large screened porch and extended patio face the neighborhood pond — perfect for grilling, stargazing, or watching local wildlife. The yard is protected by a custom black metal fence with three gates, and upkeep is simplified with a multi-zone Rain Bird irrigation system. The attached garage has been finished and freshly painted, and the oversized driveway provides additional parking for guests or a boat.
Arcadia offers a full community amenity package: clubhouse with outdoor pool, fitness center, four pickleball courts, fire pit, playground, and five-foot sidewalks throughout the neighborhood. HOA covers cable, internet, trash and common-area amenities, reducing monthly utility complexity. With a convenient inland location in Forestbrook, this property is an easy drive to restaurants, shopping, healthcare, golf, Myrtle Beach International Airport, and the Grand Strand beaches. Priced at $344,000, this turn-key home is ready for immediate occupancy or rental use; contact the Jerry Pinkas Team for showings.

A factual market snapshot around 862 Laconic Dr.
The Myrtle Beach / Grand Strand market has a steady pool of buyers driven by year-round tourism, retirees relocating for lifestyle, and local employment in healthcare and service industries. For well-priced, near-new single-family homes in amenity-rich subdivisions like Arcadia, demand remains solid — especially in spring/summer seasons. Median single-family sale prices in the broader Myrtle Beach area are approximately in the low-to-mid $300ks; inventory remains moderate with days-on-market in the 30–60 day range for attractive listings. This product (2024 build, pond frontage, low-maintenance yard) competes well against both resales and new-construction offerings and represents a balanced opportunity for owner-occupiers and long-term rental investors seeking stable yields and modest appreciation potential.
