NO HOA!! USDA eligible! Peaceful rural living with quick access to the Upstate’s top cities, shopping, and recreation! Set on 3 ACRES in an award-winning school district, this one-of-a-kind property delivers peaceful country living without sacrificing convenience. The home is also within walking distance of the Stoneybrook Neighborhood Fishing Lake and is surrounded by large lots while backing up to a tree line for privacy, beautiful views of farmland in front, and a true sense of retreat. Inside, the home features stunning REAL WOOD beams on vaulted ceilings, solid wood doors, and a dramatic 8-foot-wide TOWERING STONE FIREPLACE with a nostalgic cooking grate, matched by a stone wall in the foyer. The sunken living room, oversized loft, country-style eat-in kitchen, and formal dining room just off the kitchen create a layout that is both inviting and functional, all filled with natural light. The kitchen boasts real GRANITE countertops, not cultured granite, along with a new refrigerator and dishwasher, as well as an Insta-Hot water heater for endless hot water. ALL APPLIANCES INCLUDED! The home includes dual primary bathrooms, one with a vintage sunken tub and the other full baths featuring tiled walk-in showers, plus a large laundry room with a mud sink. Two new ceiling fans were added in the loft, the attic has newly added 8” of blown insulation and is mostly floored for storage. The converted garage adds 400 square feet of heated and cooled living space. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a deck off the massive primary bedroom and a large custom deck off the dining room that wraps around the 15x24 SALTWATER POOL. The courtyard features a beautiful stone wall, while flowering bushes, mature trees, and landscaped flowerbeds line the driveways and grounds and return in full bloom each spring. Multiple fruit trees including apple, cherry, and peach are already planted. The property has two driveways, one leading to the courtyard and the other providing direct access to the large outbuilding at the back of the acreage. There is a BARN and TWO FENCED PASTURES for livestock, chicken coop and rabbit cages, a WORKSHOP with electricity and work benches, and a separate storage shed that is wired for electricity. Major updates include a NEW ROOF, a fully encapsulated crawlspace vapor barrier and all-new ductwork throughout the home, a new HVAC unit, four water spigots added for a total of six, septic tank recently pumped, and cedar siding and both decks are freshly stained.
