Welcome to 3398 Marlin Drive SE--an inviting coastal retreat tucked inside the gated community of River Run Plantation. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 953 square feet of comfortable living space and has been gently used as a second home throughout its life. The current owners have made thoughtful improvements, including installing LVP flooring throughout and freshly painting the interior, giving the home a clean, well-maintained feel that is ready for its next owner to enjoy. The layout is functional and easy, with an open living area and a split-bedroom floor plan that offers privacy for guests. Step outside to the spacious screened-in porch--perfect for morning coffee or relaxing after a day at the beach. A detached storage building provides room for beach gear, bikes, or tools. Key updates include a roof approximately 10 years old (+/-) and HVAC replaced in 2019.
