Everybody knows somebody who lives in Ricefields, or wants to. At 23 Old Barge Drive, the community pool is just across the street from a single-level, 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with approximately 1,597 heated square feet, a shaded front porch and private backyard in Ricefields in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, an established, non-gated neighborhood. Inside, 1,597 heated square feet works surprisingly well. The living room, dining area and kitchen flow together beneath vaulted ceilings, with wood-look LVP flooring continuing through the main living spaces. The kitchen has plenty of cabinet and counter space, light blue painted cabinetry, glass-front display cabinets, a center island, raised breakfast bar and pantry. A door from the kitchen leads directly to the screened porch, and the primary bedroom has its own door there, too. The primary bedroom has plenty of room for larger furniture, along with a tray ceiling and walk-in closet. The primary bath has a long double vanity with two sinks, a garden tub and separate glass-door walk-in shower. Two guest bedrooms share a hall bath with a tub/shower combination, and one currently accommodates a separate desk/work area. The screened porch was rescreened in 2026 and has plenty of room for a dining or sitting area. From there, step out to a concrete patio and a backyard bordered by established trees and landscaping. For a house in a neighborhood, there's a good measure of privacy back here. The corner location gives you some extra breathing room along the side of the property, and an outdoor shower beside the two-car garage is handy after the pool or a day at the beach. Wood-look LVP flooring was installed in 2021, the HVAC system and thermostat were replaced in 2022, and in 2026 the driveway was replaced and the exterior doors, porches and garage door were freshly painted. And then there is Ricefields. This is a regular neighborhood in the best sort of way—still the kind of place where borrowing a cup of sugar from a neighbor doesn't sound old-fashioned. The pool across the street is one people actually use, and the west-facing riverwalk on the Waccamaw River is where people head in the evening for some of the most spectacular sunsets you'll ever get to see. HOA amenities include the pool, riverwalk, ponds and common areas, along with a bulk cable and internet package. Homeowners also have access to a boat ramp on a tidal creek leading to the Waccamaw River and Intracoastal Waterway. Public beach access on Pawleys Island is approximately two miles away. At 23 Old Barge Drive, you can walk across the street to the pool, head down to the river for sunset, or be at the beach in just a few minutes—and come home to easy, single-level living in Ricefields.
